@arpie just in case I haven’t said already - I have 3 friends who have found great relief from arthritic pain with Curcumin which is the potent refined ingredient in Turmeric.Its half price this week at one of the Supermarkets or Chemist Warehouse. BUT not recommended during chemotherapy as counters effectiveness of chemo drugs and also not recommended if on blood thinners like warfarin.
My oncologist recommended Krill Oil for joint pain relief whilst on Letrozole which I take daily .My joint pain has been minimal possibly helped by the Krill Oil but also a daily one hour walk .I think my body has adapted to the Letrozole after 10 months but in early stages was creaky - I did find I could walk thru it though and it would come good.
PS Always check with your doctor before taking supplements as they can conflict with treatment.
