Here's a different thought. My wife had a lot of issues with joint pains, etc., and assumed she was getting arthritis. Turns out not too long ago a dietician determined that she had a intolerance to the gluten in wheat (also in barley and rye). Removed all foods containing gluten from her diet, and all the problems went away within a few weeks. Feels better than she ever has.
There's a DNA test that can determine if you have a gene that predisposes you to gluten intolerance. Turns out my wife had two copies, got one from each parent. You can order it on-line...I don't think conventional doctors will prescribe it.

The gluten free diet is a real pain, because there's gluten in all sorts of stuff you wouldn't expect, but it sure made a difference.
