    Default Glucosamine and chondroitin

    Does anyone use these supplements with any success for their arthritis? Cheers Jim

    My Wife tried just about everything for her Arhritis, including those you mention and all the gels but nothing helped. Relief came with a new knee.

    Since then there have been many articles about Turmeric, which is supposed to be effective.

    Ta Dave, tried turmeric, did nowt for me, I'll give these a go then it's to docs, surgery awaiting but can't take time off work just yet. Jamesons seems to work best but I doubt it'd go down well at work

    A bullmastiff we had a few years ago had a problem with an arthritic hip, apparently quite common with this breed. The vet put him on some tablets, which helped a lot, but he would be on these for life. It got to be quite expensive.

    When doing some work for a woman who bred horses, somehow the subject of my dog's condition came up. She recommended glucosamine and chondroitin tablets, which she really rated, but to forget getting them from the vets, and buy them from Morrisons.

    We kept the dog on these for the rest of his life, and he wasn't troubled with this condition ever again.

    May not work for everyone, but definitely worth trying.

    According to my GP Glucosamine might possibly work though probably not, whereas Chondroitin was proven to be totally useless.

    Another one to consider James, is cannabis. There is some evidence that some people have found relief using this.

    The downside is that you would probably get through a lot of cakes and biscuits. And you might want to leave your motorbike in the garage

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    ive been using glucosamine for about a year now after a mate and his father in law both recommended it. Apart from the occasional annoyance of nighttime heartburn i can definitely say it has improved the arthritic pains i felt in my knee.
