Hello, lulu12:

Yes, these are common symptoms of costochondritis, bursitis, and general periostitis--can be very annoying. Turmeric powder is too starchy for the good effects of the curcumin to be noticed; the inflammation it causes will swamp out the anti-inflammatory properties.

Please take EVOliveOil by teaspoonful throughout the day--12X at least but especially before meals. Upon retiring borage seed oil at 5-7g will help very much. Also 4-6oz fresh wheatgrass juice on an empty stomach 3 days in a row per week can help eliminate established inflammation, but long-term nothing is as effective as diet of course.

HEALTH,
John
