Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I, too, took Glucosamine, etc. for weeks prior to my knee surgery (removal of some cartilage) in January. The only thing that helped with the discomfort is Knox Gelatin (go figure!) Find it in the grocery store over next to the Jello section. Orange & white box, contains four packets. Typically, take about 4 oz. orange juice (or juice of your choice - COLD), stir as you pour one packet in and drink immediately. I usually follow with another glass of water. I took it last Tuesday a.m., and woke up Wednesday a.m. with no pain. I was amazed! Plus, I just feel better all over (I'm almost 58) - I wished I'd heard of this sooner. For most people, one packet a day works fine -- but if you need more, then take another one with a cool liquid in the evening. I researched on line for any bad side effects, found none. It's also less expensive than glucosamine/chondroitin, etc., and you only have to take it once a day (as opposed to three times a day). They use it on dogs and horses who have problems with arthritis as well. Upon mentioning it to my son (who raises horses) he said, " oh yeah, we use that on our horses all the time. " I will say, however, if I walk on concrete (the mall ... I hate to shop any way) for a while, some pain comes back. But once I've slept, taken the morning juice combo, I feel fine again. So I'm learning not to push it. Dede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
