Glucosamine-Chondroitin 500/400 mg X 3 a day. Available at any drug store.
Do this for a month, then you will know if it works or not.
Works for my knees.
Also found that salmon oil and Lecithin is great at solving "getting up in the morning stiffness" .
I'm 60 next month.
+100
That stuff really worked for me.
When I have big flare-ups and my joints are screaming (when it gets rainy and cold), my ortho doc just started me on a gel-creme called Voltaren (not everyone can use it because it is an NSAID medication) that really taked the edge off the joint pain.
Still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers TT, joint pain is b!tch.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
