Was searching for thread on joint pain/treatment and found this thread. I have no problem with medical Mary Jane, but I wanted to post on a possible option that some NFL players are starting to use that, unlike MJ, helps the body heal itself.
The procedure is Regenokine treatment. But here is the hitch, it is apparently a variant of Orthokine treatments, which were banned in the USA. In 2011, Kobe Bryant went to Germany to get Regenokine treatments for joint pain and worked wonders for him. I don't know where current NFL players (SEA KJ Wright just had it done with good results, and based on that success 3 or 4 other Seahawk players are having it done this week) are getting the procedure done, but if within US borders it might be an affordable option. Some links:

Another option: I have used Costco's Kirkland brand dried seaweed for spinal pain successfully. Dose: 3-5 flakes a day. But you have to get over the foul taste. Once I did I actually tolerate the flavor, stopping short of saying I like it. Weird? Exactly what I said when a coworker told me his amazing story, which he confirmed with before and after MRIs of his spine, which showed the treatment significantly increased the height of spinal disks. Apparently after a certain age the body's ability to retain spinal fluid is reduced due to lack of certain nutrients in normal diet. The seaweed has that nutrient. For me, my upper neck pain was caused by several injuries over the years that cycling aggravated. A month of seaweed and the pain was gone. Best cheap cure I ever had.
