I took glucosamine and chondroitin. I don't know if it made my knees less sore or if they just healed on their own. Carrying a baby around does add stress to the knees, since your weight and the baby's are on the knees. The other thing is, the more padded your shoes are, the more stress gets transferred up the leg to the knee instead of the foot. If you have recently purchased some cushy shoes so your feet feel good, try your older ones to see if your knees feel better.
I am looking for natural arthritis remedies for a 10 year old chihuahua. I read somewhere that blackstrap molasses works wonders for arthritis pain in dogs. I also heard of extra virgin coconut oil and apple cider vinegar. I am really tempted to mix all these and give it a try. Has anyone tried these? or are there any other natural remedies? My dog has been on metacam but it doesn't work very well, I can tell she is still in pain.

I find taking chondroitin + glucosamine tablets twice a day, provide invaluable relief for my osteoarthritic knuckles (for a year I'd been using anti-inflammatory salve twice a day but was on the lookout for something else as I don't like the concept of long term anti-inflammatory use).
I found a research study that seemed extremely promising and was pleasantly surprised to find I enjoyed appreciable pain relief after merely 2-3 days of starting the pills.

Your tendons and ligaments are relaxing, and with the added weight of being pregnant it can make some sore knees. Try to rest them and you can take Tylenol.
It is very common for dogs 13 years or so to have degenerative joint disease (arthritis). The parts are just wearing out. The problem can occur anywhere there are joints in the body, which include her spine, hips, knees, ankles, feet, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and even in her tail. Lyme disease can contribute to joint pain and should be checked often and treated if necessary.
I have taken glucosamine for 10 years, due to a dislocated knee injury/surgury many years ago. I took it all through treatment (just ended 48 wks). I guess I was fortunate. I never experienced joint pain while on tx. My doc said it was OK.
I have heard many different things about glucosamine for dogs . That is is okay for your dogs, and also that it isn't. There can be many benefits to providing supplements for your dog.

I have been exercising and doing yoga, reasonable walk, but at get pain in knees as well. The xray of knees indicated early signs of osteoartheritis. I have been taking 500 mg Calcium with D (for over 7-8 years, regularly and Multivitamins as well. Lately started taking Glucosamine 1500+Chondroitin 1200 mg (but half the dose). I have craving to cover my legs with additional heavy cover, and use a small pillow between my knees at night.
t tried it myself yet, only because I HATE taking pills, but have heard a few success stories about Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Another thing you can do is start physical therapy. Strengthening the muscles and tendons around the joints helps to slow the degenerative changes.

It really does help. You hear that the dog has to have taken it for a few weeks for there to be any noticeable change, but I have found it can take effect quicker than that.
To give you an idea of dosage, my dog weighs 28lbs and I give her 500mg Glucosamine, and 200mg Chondroitin daily. If his weight is twice hers, or approximately, you can give double that dose.
if you take them at mealtime it will just act to digest the protein you just ate, whereas for antiinflammatory purposes you want it to digest the crud that forms around joints and muscles that partially cause inflammation. (Very scientific term, crud, eh? There is a word for it, but I forget what it is). A cheaper supplement you can find in any health food store is Woebenzyme, but I don't think it works quite as well, at least for me. Sells a whole lot better, though.
