Hi there Doody. I was thinking of you, and your aches and sore hand when I saw this post. Must have been mental telepathy, and also DH and I were discussing Glosomine not one hour ago!

He has the most awful back pain, and two knees that need replacing, but he's never tried Glucosmine before. We discussed it a little while ago and he's agreed to give it a go.

At the moment he uses a Toredol weekly patch which he doesn't really think helps much, and some Epilum for the nerve pain in his back. He also has magnets strapped to his back inside a belt and he thinks they help heaps with his back pain, but his knees are getting more and more painful all the time.
He'll get some Glucosomine tomorrow, but he'll get a reputable brand at least until we see how it goes.

Maybe we can compare notes.....
