Arthritis in the Knee

[Maisie]

Well done and congratulations what did he say about the supplements by the way?

He didn't say anything specific about either of them. I think that he must have assumed, correctly, that I have read the research about Type 11 collagen or wouldn't have been aware of it. With regard to glucosamine, he said "high strength glucosamine is good too"
But, clearly, weight loss is the main factor in pain reduction. For further info about this see -

So many people have mentioned the Omega 3 fish oil capsules to me recently, and said how they really work if you are a bit (or a lot) arthritic, so I'm going to try them, as I have arthritis in my wrists and hands, and its getting worse as I age, so I'll give them a go.     

Let me know how you get on with them Deetta but give them time, I swear by them, my wife Yvonne an X nurse told me to take them years ago when she sure I was having a lot of pain walking during the cold winter months. Taking the pain away allowed me to exercise and lose weight. With out them I wouldn't be pulling a golf trolley round a golf course 3 times a week feeling young and active.

I have hardly suffered, until this tear and my arms/wrists cause me pain if lifting anything over head height

 Carolyn I take the 1000mg one a day tesco brand but most large stores have them. As this as come on so quickly I would be incline to see your doc but these won't do you any harm and should do you a lot of good..
