vitamin c pain relief
I have no idea if you're taking any vitamin C now. In my experience, which includes years of caregiving, doctors will rarely if ever mention supplements and will say fairly little about diet. My mom had a good GP and cardiologist who okayed the supplements she took and made sure she got them even when hospitalized, and gave me their cell phone numbers in case I ran into a doctor at a hospital who wouldn't listen.
Some people can't tolerate vitamin C, and there might be other reasons you in particular shouldn't take it. Check with your doctor.
But in general it's a safe and effective way to get some pain relief for many conditions.
