It’s been 5 months since my hip surgery. I haven’t talked about my recovery much because truthfully, I I forgot I had hip replacement until a friend texted me asking about it last week. I guess that’s a good sign!

Looking back on the months and years leading up to surgery, I can’t believe the horrible arthritic pain I lived with everyday. I couldn’t do simple things like get in and out of a car, stand on my feet too long or get off the couch easily.

It impacted every aspect of my daily life. The scary thing is I didn’t realize how much pain I was until I had surgery, or how much I had to modify my life around my condition.

Living with avascular necrosis for 18 years, is not something I would wish on my worse enemy. I was told I had arthritis of an 80 year old woman in my hip. It was a miracle I was able to stay as active as I did swimming, biking, walking, hiking, lifting weights and teaching spin class on a daily basis.

The truth is staying active and taking Curamin® Stop Pain Now helped me manage the pain.

Curamin® supports pain relief and is recognized throughout the natural product industry for pain relief with 28 awards and counting.

It contains a curcumin , an anti-inflammatory chemical found in turmeric produced by plants that may be beneficial for inflammation and chronic pain. It’s a safe, effective, non-addictive herbal formula- different from over-the-counter pain meds and prescription drugs that can sometimes have negative side effects.

I’ve been taking Curamin® for years and I swear by it!

Last week I was at Sprouts stocking up and exchanged stories with a clerk’s about Curamin®. She explained she takes it daily for arthritis, making it possible for her to work on her feet all day.

It’s comforting knowing I’m not the only one dealing with chronic pain and to hear how much others love Curamin® as much as I do!

While I don’t have the same type of pain now, I still take it to manage different pain. Pain I have from muscle weakness, lack of range of motion and balance, which I’m working on. There’s 18 years of muscle atrophy and it will take time for it to come back.

In the meantime, I’m being good to my joints by doing lower impact workouts and feeding my body things that reduce inflammation.

Homemade snacks like these Turmeric Protein Bites are another way to I like to do that. Packed with healthy fat, antioxidants, protein and carbs, they’re the perfect post workout snack. Great for packing in your gym bag and eating on the go!

Making the snacks is simple. No baking required! Combine all ingredients in a bowl, stir to combine, roll into balls, roll over coconut flakes, refrigerate and enjoy! Store in the refrigerator or freezer for an easy breezy healthy snack.

    I definitely am with you that no one should live in chronic pain. Anything we can do to stop that for others is the best gift we can give them!

    Pain is a weird thing. Pain is the worst thing you can experience, and then when it’s over it’s like a faint past reality. I wasn’t able to sit for more than 5 minutes without pain or heavy anti-inflammatories for two years, it was excruciating and changed every area of my life. For the most part, that is gone, I even did a bike workout for 40 minutes the other day! Now it seems like a distant reality, almost unreal. I think women are hard-wired to forget pain so that we continue to have babies…. just a thought ha ha

    First time I’ve seen turmeric used in this way, Megan. Makes a good anti-inflammatory snack. My wife takes curcumin as a supplement and it’s effective.

    These look awesome! We definitely need them in our lives. Between myself and Vegas, something is always hurting. Hazards of living hard, I suppose. Sure does hurt though!

    I love finding new ways to use turmeric and these were so easy to make! Very tasty however I want to make my next batch with a little bit of honey (keeping it paleo)…they needed a touch of sweetness for my taste.
