I had totally forgotten about tomatoes being in the nightshade family. My knees started hurting about 2 weeks ago. Nothing I do for inflammmation (vit-c, echinacea, etc) seems to be doing some good. Even high powered linaments are not working. My tomatoes started coming in 3 weeks ago and I normally eat a minimum of 4 daily. That is just me alone. I do dearly love a tomato but not worth hurting all the time. I even have to put a pillow under my knees so I can sleep. I will drop them and see what happens.
