User Reviews for glucosamine

I don't believe in magic cures and snake oil BUT this stuff really helps me with my shoulder arthritis. I've been told I need a joint replacement but so far I actually have great movement and am playing golf regularly.

Since starting glucosamine, my knee pain is at least 50% reduced. Yesterday I walked up the stairs for the first time is 6 months. (not without some pain, but I was able to do it) I hope this is safe long-term because the last 30 days have been an enormous relief! Some diarrhea side effect, but manageable.

As for last 8 months I am using Glucosamine HCl with Condoroitine and got 50% relief of pain swelling decreased by 40%. Namita Dutta Chowdhury (Wife of your subscriber)

I began taking glucosamine sulfate for knee pain shortly after being diagnosed with arthritis. After about a week the pain stopped & I could walk up & down stairs painfree again. I stopped taking it thinking I was better. The pain returned, I started the glucosamine & after about 5 days the pain stopped again. I haven't missed a dose since! Now its pain free stairclimbing for me :-)

I have osteoarthritis. my back is extremely painful. I could barely get up, always in pain. Started taking Glucosomine Chondroiant, the generic form, as I couldn't afford the name brands. After aprox 10 days the pain had decreased immensely.

If I do not take this medication daily I diffenently have more pain in my knees.

It has made my arthritis so much more bareable. There was times, i had trouble walking, after taking this for several months, you can't always see any signs that i have this problem, well recommended.

Tried a liquid Glucosamine 2000 mg HCL with 1200 mg Chondroitin Sulfate Product for three months with no relief/success. After switching to ProCaps Laboratories 1500 mg Clucosamine Sulfate with 1200 mg Chondroitin Sulfate I had relief of knee pain within a week's time, with increased relief as I continued to take it to the point of not having to take Advil anymore.

I've always been active (tennis, running, skiing, etc.).Ten years ago I started feeling discomfort in my left knee during activity, and began taking Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM daily. Within six months the pain was gone and I am still very active and pain free at age 61.

I have osteoarthritis(knee). Five years ago considered knee replacement This treatment changed my problem to manageable and I would not have such a good and active life without it.

while in extreme pain with RA,no insurance to buy celebrex..I turned to a tablet containing extra strength chrondrointin, gluccausamine & MSM.After a week and half, I notice more flexibility & some reduced pain in the joint.Although I am still in a lot of pain and take pain medication every 4 hours, I am convinced this combo has helped.It is available at the pharmacy and cost less than prescriptions. May God bless you. I hope you feel better soon.

I believe it helps somewhat, maybe that's just wishful thinking.

I wanted to take Glucosamine for joint pain that started bothering me after my runs, but I was forced to stop after a few days because it was causing me severe intestinal distress: bloating and gas that bordered on painful.

This treatment has been great but the pills are just too big.....I don't look forward to taking the pills everyday. I used it for several years then came off because of the pills but my joints started to hurt and stiffen again after a couple of months so I'm back on it now. The juice for glucosamine is too expensive.

I am experiencing vaginal itching, but the arthritis symptoms have lessened in intensity. I take 2000mg of 2KCI once a day.Spring Valley is the brand.

I stopped taking it for a month or so, then I went back to taking Glucosomine. I was much more comfortable and woth less joint pain.

I started taking glucosamine 1993,It works for me; However in large doses it can cause a stomach discomfort, This I [for me]have found can be eliminated by eating a piece of onion[about the size of two olives]just before or imediately after.
