Unfortunately it is the English disease, all the wet weather we endure, you know! We take a cod liver oil carsule each day and hope for the best.  :-\

I agree with Rita Terry Omega 3 pure fish oil 1000mg once aday as worked wonders for me. I use to have alot of pain in my right knee but not any more. I get mine from tescos but most stores sell them.

Yep with you both on the cod liver oil tablets but I also add glucosamine-sulphite as well and it works but don't just take it for a month and then say its not working it takes a couple of months at least to notice the difference and when you wake up one morning and put your feet out the bed onto the carpet and you don't feel pain you might not notice it immediately but the penny will suddenly drop and you will smile

Agree wholeheartedly with the Glucosamine fish oil therapy I added MSM to those two nearly12 yrs ago and as already said by the other forum members the improvement although not immediate has worked well for me too. Go for it Merrytel!  :D

Many years ago I read in a magazine that MSM is good for nails.  As mine split very badly, I looked MSM up on the internet and couldn't see any reason why I should not give it a try.  After a few months my nails were very much stronger.  Several years later I was taking a few other pills and decided to cut out the MSM.  A couple of months later my nails started to split so I am back on it with strong nails again.

I have noticed that the older I get, the longer the body mainenance takes!  Excercises for achilles, exercises for bursitis, etc. etc.

 Been trying to, just ignore my aches and pains, for nearly two years now, yes I know, ‘stubborn old sod’, but I’m not really that old, and I think that’s why I’m having trouble getting my head around it.
A new pain is starting in my arm now, I really must go to the doctors……Mañana.........Maybe ::)

Hi Puff never ignor a pain your body telling you that you have a problem. Could be nothing but you never know until you have had it checked.
