Does Glucosamine/Chondroitin really help joints?

Research done my me for another site lead to details about magnesium and calcium being one solution, as well as avoiding certain foods, such as nightshade vegetables. G'mother said all nonsense and to drink apple cider vinegar in a bit of warm water daily.

I haven't tried it and my orthopedist doesn't recommend it.

I am not sure But if you find out I would love to know. I have Fibromyalgia, Arthritis and other medical issues that cause me chronic pain

Telling the truth I have read about that before but I had my doubts about it. Also eating tomatoes is supposed to provoke inflammation. But then you read somewhere else that the information about tomatoes and so on is utter nonsense. So who can you believe? I think that a bit of everything and eating more than a third of fresh greens is a must every day. Hope that hip is not playing you up now. I am eating less bread and biscuits also to see if that is what causes all the inflammation although I don´t have any Arthritis as yet.

I've never taken it long enough to know if it helps. I get all gung-ho and take it for awhile and then forget to take it. Hope you can find some help with it if you decide to take it

No side effects. After some heavy phisical work I get it. It is a good med.

I have been using it for about 15 years and for me it does help. I have found that it has to be the 1500-500 combination, some have started to skimp on the Chondroitin. My orthopedic doctor suggested it to me. It is not an instant fix it takes a month or two to see result and no, there are no side effects and it does not interfere with my blood pressure or cholesterol medicine. It has saved my life, I was in so much pain before. I order it online from Puritan pride where it is well priced.

It helps dogs..... it's worth a try.

I was on it for ages and have now been off it just as long. It's hard to say if it helped. I don't think I'm much worse but maybe it did help. I don't remember having any side-effects. My main problem was that I find it very difficult to swallow tablets so it was always an issue for me just to take them. It was easy to stop.

I did try it but for me it didn't work. I didn't have any side effects from taking it. I hope that if you try it that it would work for you. Maybe it depends on how bad your arthritis is on it's helping?

I haven't tried that one, but I know a lot of people with joint pain like water aerobics ... hope you feel better

A relative of mine used it for months, but she still has to take a pain killer whenever she goes out.

I think you need see doctor.

Yes, it helps. Take care!

Sorry, I cannot be of any help, I never tried Glucosamine/Chondroitin. Have you made a search to see what people write about it?

No, I dont. I dont have any complain to use this medicine
