Stiff joints supplements
Discussion
For the last 2-3 weeks I've started getting stiff joints - mainly the knees, back, ankle and shoulders.
(Was quite awkward getting out of bed this morning)
Just wondering if there's any recommendations for a supplement to take?
Thought about cod liver oil.
Would rather have some form of natural remedy rather than NSAID's, and it's not something I think I should be bothering my GP with.
Thanks.

So you would rather try lots of unproven supplements / potential quack treatments first, rather than going to the GP and getting any serious pathology ruled out? Seems like backwards logic to me. Thanks.
FWIW I have been taking Omega 3 fish oils , and Vitamin D and notice no difference in joint cracking or aches and pains, despite correcting a proven deficiency in vitamin D.
Too much omega 3 oils gives me headaches and fishy burps and Cod liver oil in high amounts can give excessive vitamin A, and is not really a great source of vitamin D either.
NSAID's do my gut no good - I don't even take tablets for headaches.
Had foot surgery several years ago with immense pain and the pain killers I had made me feel very ill.
Never again.
I'll give the supplements 3 months and if no better I'll see the doc (probably take that long for a routine appt anyway..)

I'll never use the Internet to diagnose anything - it seems you're either dying or going to live to be 120.
The numbness can strike at anytime - today whilst painting a door in the sun for example.
Can affect both hands / fingers and the bedroom is fine temp wise.
Looking back, this is almost coinciding with me using the rowing machine on a regular basis.
Perhaps I'm over exercising?
