Thanks for the info Scott. I might add that natural anti-inflamatories (I'm experimenting with them now--no results to report yet) include tumeric extract 3-300mg. caps p/day; ginger root up to 10-550mg. caps p/day; and bromelain manufactured by Nature's Plus (take according to directions). My accupunturist has me on two Chinese herbal remedies called "nourish the root" and "brocade sinews". A friend of mine who pulled some ligaments in her back swears by Liga-tend, a vitamin complex manufactured by Biochem. My understanding of healing with herbs is that its a slow process and results are not noticed for 2-3 months sometimes. I've been taking all of the above for about three weeks. I'll let you know if and when I notice improvement.
