I can't answer the other questions about tumeric but will do some checking on my own as I'm curious too. As for Vioxx, it works okay, nothing great but then ibuprofen does little for me. I tried Mobic (meloxicam) first but that didn't work. Voltaren worked very well but gave me terrible stomach aches, so it's Vioxx or nothing. My pain comes from a very old injury I had as a child in both shoulders. I have torn & scarred rotator cuff, muscles and/or tendons. My muscles & joints have learned to compensate over the decades so at this point in time, there's little I can do to change them. It must be a weakness in our family as 2 sons already have problems with them & my Mom has very bad shoulders. If tumeric will help with the pain, I'd much rather use that.
No snow, hey? Well, send me your address & make an extra bed up - I'm moving there for the winter. I hope it's normally sunny there as I love rain but after a whole winter of it, deserts start sounding good. Ah, to dream of being able to garden outside all year long. Wonderful! What country are you in?
