gringohombre Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Rainy season not good for my hip that 6 years ago suffered a botched hip replacement surgery here (redone at the VA hospital in Phoenix). Pain radiating down to the calf area and back of knee. Have started to take 2 capsules of turmeric (100 mg. ea.) a day and so far not much relief. Read that if taken with black pepper (piperine) 20 mg. together this helps speed up the process. One question is where do I get this here, and also any comments on this treatment one way or another from those who have experience with this? I try to stay away from prescription pain meds, and would be happy to have other comments on alternative, natural treatments.

bmh Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I eat lots of turmeric sometimes with pepper sometimes not because I cook with turmeric and other spices a lot.. I never noticed it did anything to pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the the black pepper is in tablet form also...my question is where do I get that? I am not talking about turmeric and black pepper as a spice, because the result would be inconsequential for my purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnMama Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 You can get turmeric with black pepper from several of the vendors at the Tuesday Market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexijims1 Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Try El Granero, across from Ajijic Clinic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 You could try prasad, on the lateral near Telmex in Ajijic. I know he carries Tumeric but not sure about the pepper additive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy it at the Farmacia San Andres west of Ajijic. I was skeptical about it but it really works. https://naterra.com.mx/product/pain-flex-forte-30-caplts/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
