I used to have various chronic pain, including arthritis, sciatic nerve pain, migraines, etc. No longer have any of these awful pains and I found relief by avoiding meds. I am a firm anti-med person, due to the many nasty side effects of most meds. What I did is to eliminate all wheat (a known inflammatory food), avoid all sugar, avoid processed foods such as any canned soups and also any of the boxed breakfast cereals, avoid refined carbs. I eat lots of high quality fats (olive oil, coconut oil, butter, animal fat from grass fed sources, etc.), I eat lots of veggies, I eat moderate amounts of animal protein, especially lots of fish but also beef, pork and poultry, I eat a dozen eggs per week (uncaged source) and avoid cows milk and I minimize fruit (fruit has lots of sugar; a ripe banana is loaded with sugar which is very bad for health.). This is not a vegan diet (I firmly believe an all-plant-based diet is unhealthy and recent reports are now indicating health issues facing vegans and some vegetarians.). What I eat now has resulted in total elimination of all my previous arthritic pain and all other chronic pain. My wife also eats this way and has noticed her chronic back pain has diminished; she used to wear a back brace but no longer needs it. We use food as our medicine; it's far better than any prescription meds and costs a lot less.
