A member asked:

I have elbow pain on the joint at times. it never really goes away. however, if i take just one diclofenac tablet (panamor or cataflam), just once, the pain subsides the next day. is my body lacking any supplement that i can take rather than a tablet?

Doubtful: NSAIDS are pain relievers, this benefit cannot be replaced with vitamins or supplements. However; curcumin at a dose of 1000 to 2000mg may bring you some relief. Don’t forget Voltaren gel is a topical that may be very helpful for you instead of oral NSAIDs
