I injured my shoulder several months ago and since I don't trust doctors I live with the pain. By accident, I found 1 gram of Ester C taken at onset of pain works wonders. I have to do this several times a day but it works. There's no bad side effects with Vit C and it works for this problem. Do a google on Vitamin C and pain. There's lots of info.
Do you take the C by powder or capsule? I have 500 mg. Ester C capsules, but don't know the Metric system well enough to know how many 500 mgs. of the C would equal one gram?

Vitamin C has side effects on the digestive system and there is evidence that it may have genetic effects as well.
Well now, there ya go. You're a grandma after my own heart. Vit C for everything. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT trust doctors. They have agendas. I only resort to my family doctor (good Christian) for a six month check-up. I'm never sick so I have to re-introduce myself to him when I do go. LOL.
