I am 61 and have started feeling pain in my shoulders, knees, and hips associated with arthritis. Does liquid glucosamine-chondroitin-MSM act faster than the pill form of the named ingredients?
I Used To Suffer But Not Anymore!
I began
searching for information on natural remedies, alternative
medicine, and anything I could find. I had actually tried
searching for this information years before, and found nothing
relevant. Then
one day I found a source of information that led to another
source, and so on. It was the break I had been looking for!
Despite having read over and over that arthritis was "incurable"
and that people with arthritis had to learn to live with
it for the rest of their lives, I found hope. Out of all
the informational sources I found, I learned that people
with arthritis had been curing themselves all these years! What
I learned was that there were four (4)
different methods that were used to cure arthritis. Each
source mentioned only one method, though. Some gave importance
to one method and briefly mentioned some of the others.
What I also learned was that some people got relief by using
one method more than another. So what
I did was combine ALL 4 methods into one
program , and by applying just one
of the initial methods, I
became totally pain-free in 3 days!
Glucosamine and chondroitin have never been medically proven to have any effect on pain or on joint health. Vitamin C would do more good for joints as it is essential for the production and maintainence of connective tissue, i.e. cartilage and bone. An NSAID would be the drug of choice for pain and/or inflammation.
I am 66 and have taken the pills, but it didnt seem to help…maybe ask your doctor for something that will work…good luck…
i’ve heard that it helps some people and not others…it is worth a try if anti-inflammatories and other pain management methods aren’t working. And i haven’t heard of it ever having an negative effect so it sounds like its worth a try to me.
It really shouldn’t matter- it has to build up so it takes a few weeks to really notice a difference, and just about the time you think it isn’t working and quit - you will notice pain returning within a week.
Try yoga - a nice relaxing kind for the flexibility
Do you mean the solution injected into the joint? The manufacturers claim it can delay surgery in arthritic knees for about 1-2 years depending on the severity of the disease. Haven’t come across liquid taken orally. Oral tabs usually are made from shellfish. If you are allergic to shellfish, you shouldn’t take the tabs.
