No clue, but I hear that CBD oil, if available to you, is the shit.  

Thank you! 

CBD oil, yes! The real stuff, if you won't end up arrested is actually the best for complete pain relief, but I don't want to get anyone in trouble. This is why I say this. I was recently doing some research on CBD oils, well the companies that sell them. I found mixed reviews, but one review or blog article was very interesting. It said that the same element that is removed from mj that makes you high, is what relieves your pain. So, although CBD oil does help, real mj is a lot more effective. I agree. As far as pickle juice, I know it's good for muscle cramps. ( ? ) 

@becca Right. Now I recall, pickle juice is supposed to be for cramps, not joint pain.  

I think my only issue with CBD oil would be... I live in Texas. I think that sums up my problem. 😂  

I also take turmeric to reduce inflammation, but don't take it if you're on blood thinners. 

Well, from what I recall, It seems it’s the vinegar concentration in the pickle juice, not necessarily the pickle juice itself. From What I’ve looked up on the subject, vinegar in general, being highly acidic, seems to have some type of affect after it ingested & contacts the back of the throat, it stimulates a chemical reaction in the body relating to hindering neural pain receptors, or something like that. Additionally pickle juice has high sodium content, so electrolytes, to help replenishment, & potassium content, which may be more of the “pain aid” in that regard. I’d say experiment with if you’re curious but, not something I’ve bothered with myself. Fish oil would be worth looking into for the multitude of benefits, including helping with limiting joint pain. (Unless you consume fish weekly such as salmon 2 times per week or tuna fish 3-4 times) it’s just an easier way to consume/get benefits. 

Also, magnesium acts as a muscle relaxer, which is why it’s in most laxatives. It may be more beneficial to either up magnesium intake via food, or try a magnesium supplement for possible help relating to muscle pain. 

Well, now you've got my interest. My knees were wrecked this morning and protested and complained all morning as I ran errands. I finally gave up and hit the couch... with four sweet pickles. An hour later I felt good enough to clean the garage, walk the dog, and bathe the dog. Hmmmm.... I was eating the pickles because they're sweet and satisfy that craving I get on occasion for candy (but way less calories and less sugar). If there's an added benefit to joint pain, I'm buying stock in Del Monte! 

Haha! Hey that’s good to know about sweet pickles. I’d probably eat way too many. 

I think Epsom salt has a significant magnesium content and is good for batun soaks for achy breaky feeling body. 

I haven't heard of that. My boyfriend has arthritis and he eats pickles all the time. He's mentioned any noticeable difference. 

Thanks for the information, I have problems with my wrists
