You take 8-10 grams Vit C daily? I take four but I have read a lot about it. I know what it did for rheumatoid arthritis and by accident I found out that it helped immensely with the pain of a bad shoulder injury. Now, I also believe it protects one from plantar fasciitis, and carpal tunnel. Reading about intravenous Vit C and it's ability to control pain is extremely interesting.
Most days. I've become a bit nonchalant about exact doses. Approximately four ½t amounts daily in water. My 8-10 grams is based on a recommendation by Pauling. IIRC it was extrapolated to human weight from what various animals synthesize for themselves.
It makes sense for rheumatoid arthritis from what little I know about it, and for tendon or ligament repair in the shoulder injury as well.

I did vigorous Scottish Country Dancing when younger. I developed a plantar fascia problem in my right foot at one point from dancing too exuberantly and without enough control. I figured out what the problem was, slowed down and modified my dancing until it healed, and never had the problem again.

How could one ever get that kind of therapy?

If you search the net you can probably find it. I know of a doctor in Omaha who does it and there is a quite famous clinic in Wichita who seems to specialize in it.
There are also been grants made to study the effect of intravenous Vit C on cancer.
It's been a long time since I spent a lot of time researching it but it's fascinating reading once you get started.
