Glucosamine Chondroitin is also in the pills we give our Labrador for
her bad hips. She can run all day after taking that stuff!

Louise,
I agree with taking glucosamine for joint pain, and I am not one to jump
on the band
wagon about new trends.  I have only been taking it for a couple of
months and it has
helped me greatly.  I have had arthritis since high school (okay guys,
you know that
has been a long, long time) and most of the drugs I have tried had side
effects too
difficult to endure.  When I was without it for a few days, that is when
I realized how
much it helped.  I have carpal tunnel in both hands as well from
repetitive motion from
the 37 years in histology.  I recommend everyone to check with their
doctor and then
give it a try.

Shirley
