I agree with earliest investigation + also check out a simple non-toxic joint cream made by Native peoples of the SW 0 www.medicineofthepeople.net
I use their 'Sore Joint Cream' - made with palm kernel oil and shea butter - it has had quite a surprisingly good effect on several painful joints, especially a knee - along with a lot of physiotherapy including life sentence home program.
