What do you ladies use for joints?
Posted March 20, 2025 by MaryDyer in WomensHealthLounge

I’m 34, overweight, and I have PCOS and endo. However, even prior to gaining weight, I noticed that my knees were protesting at work (I work a physical job with lots of up and down). Now every time I have to kneel down my knees make a bunch of obvious pops, and with each forward movement on my knees, they make crackling sounds. I also spent about a year on Lupron when I was 15/16, so not sure if that’s related.

Obviously losing weight will help some, but that could take a while. In the meantime what supplements should I be taking for my joints?

A good Afghani landrace strain.

...but seriously: I see both glucosamine/chondroitin and curcumin (turmeric) mentioned all the time, both positively and negatively ("didn't help me.") I've tried both and didn't think they either hurt or helped, but others will swear by them.

I’ll give those a shot. I think my mom uses both so we should already have them in the house.
