In my experience, eggs are fine, but for joint pain, gentle stretching and pranayama work wonders. I eat one boiled egg daily for strength, and my joints feel much better with regular morning yoga.
I tried turmeric milk, garlic paste, and many remedies for my knee pain. Eggs never made my arthritis worse, but keeping a healthy weight surely reduced the pressure on my knees.
Yes, eggs are generally safe for arthritis. Just ensure they are not fried in heavy vegetable oils which can cause inflammation.
I have been managing arthritis for a decade. Eggs actually provide vitamin D and protein, which are good for bones and muscles. Unless you specifically feel pain after eating them, there is no need to stop.
I know how frustrating it is when simple things like walking become painful, and you start doubting every food. I felt so hopeless with my diagnosis, but keeping eggs in my diet actually helped keep my strength up.
Listen, don't worry about every little thing you read online. Eggs are a good source of nutrition and won't harm your joints. Just keep active and don't let the pain stress you out too much.
