Yo pre...
..seems like I don't have time to do all the things I want. I guess it's because I'm "retired".
In July our grandson flew out and we took a trip to Utah. During that trip I thought I had pushed my bum knee to the surgery point. It had popped real loud and swelled up. I hobbled around the rest of the trip in pain and figured I'd have to make arrangements after my grandson flew home. Well, I had been taking glucosamine with chondroitin, stuff that's used in many over the counter joint and arthritis treatments, and you know that my knee got better without seeing the doctor. I was taking it hoping it would help with the sciatica and didn't think about the knee. It's still loose but not swelled or painful at all. Talked to other 'gray hairs' I know and quite a few say that this stuff does help with joint problems. Still have the sciatica but the joints are much better, even my 'trigger' finger knuckle that was getting about twice the size of the other one and sore much of the time, looks and feels normal.
Don't know if you suffer any joint abuse from your youth and if you've ever heard of glucosamine but I thought I'd pass my experience along in case you did. It works for me just as long as it doesn't cause me to grow a third arm out the middle of my back!
God am I getting old or what? Instead of trading ballistics stats, we're sharing medication info!
Later guy,
Matey
