Funny you should mention that I was getting nowhere with it until I added Honeygar cider vinegar to my daily intake of it. Ranulph Fiennes the explorer swears by it. My arthritic knees Fenural arthritis and my frozen shoulder are under control and improving by the day.
You have to take everything long term, its true what you put in is what you get out etc.

Tosh,

Dont you get side effects with these tablets,.. i have heard they can make you either physically sick, nausea, and dizzy., and constantly going to the loo to have a pee???

I'm nearly 40 just a few months to go.

I aches when i wake up in the mornings but after an hour or so at work i'm fine.

Then about 3pm my back will start aching i then go home due to having back problems for the last 6 years i'm not taking any chances.

I've not heard or experienced this from glucosamine! I believe it's a natrual substance derived from shell fish shells.

What you're describing sounds like 'Stella abuse', I'm talking about glucosamine.

The "magic bullet" for bad backs is in fact the corect excercies, try a JJB sports "Bean" and some oesteopath reccomended backs excercises for the rest of your life. I have a prolapse spine

I'm 41 and I feel no different to when I was in my 20's! No aches or pains at all, just lucky I guess? Although I have always looked after myself, and eat healthily.

i have a dodgy disc but it was done 8 yrs ago
the pole does aggravate it more than trad did but the move to a van mount has helped alot (no more barrels

) worst thing for me is neck ache from looking up. Get it while working and then sometimes get tension headaches in evening
alcohol usually sortsthat out tho

I'm on too much codeine to ache.
Over half my work is high level work so I invested in carbon poles at that height to save wear and tear on my body and to do the work quicker.
Lower work is hybrid poles.
Fibre glass poles....no chance....let the youngsters buy the bargain poles and save their money for more important things like beer and Fri/Sat nights as they don't worry so much about their health as they think they are invincible whilst they have no ailments.
Look after your health, if you don't it will catch you up sooner, rather than later in life.

I will look into one of those JJS sports bean jeff.
I had an op on my back 6 years ago as i had two damaged disks.
Now arthritus has set in on my lower spine and does give me some jip from time to time.
I do the back excercises i have a sheet from the physio with all the excercises i should be doing.
But window cleaning itself seems to be pretty good for my back.

Heat cushion with beads inside are good for arthritic pain. Throw the heat cushion in a microwave for 2mins then apply to discomfort zone on body......works wonders

Thanks wayne i guess you get these at the chemist.

I will get one to try out.

Yes Boots have a good range of shapes and sizes. The bean bags work better than the gel bags.

Poll

Do you ache at any time in the day?
