I just recently started taking glucosamine and Chondroitin to help my knee recover from a dislocated patella. but for some reason my contact lenses have become very dry is that a side effect of the glucosamine??. I have used this type of soft contacts for a long time but never experienced this problem. Thanks.
I am 52 years old and I have had chronic pain in BOTh my hands and wrists extending up the forearm for 2 years.
I have seen physios, reumatolgists, hand specialists, you name it, I have been there.
I have had physio, acupuncture, hand therapy, a carpel tunnel release on my left hand (hopeless) and recently a right side rib ressection.
I have had xrays, bloods, bone scans, vascular studies, and MRI to my thoracic region and this week an MRI on the top part of my neck.
for restoring cartilage and reducing pain. I know an abundance of ppl that initially took the supplement - and very few that take it today.
There are still ppl that take glucosamine and chondroitin, alone or together, for osteoarthritis. Some people believe this helps. But an analysis of studies looking at glucosamine or chondroitin for osteoarthritis in the hip or knee did not show that these supplements slow joint destruction or relieve pain. It's kind of gone by the wayside.
For the last 4 years I live with left thigh and left leg pain. It started as pain in back of thigh whenever I wake up in the morning. It would disappear after I walk around, about 1.5-2 hrs. or after I do my daily exercise (stretch or Nordic Track). In 2006 I took Glucosamine Chondroytin and the pain seemed to disappear, only to come back in May this year, 2008. This time I got the thigh pain back for sitting for hours doing computer work on a chair with hard wood seat.
Glucosamine is sometimes very effective for arthritis, especially in older dogs or after injury etc.
But at 5 years old, and especially as no arthritis was found, it may not be that Glucosamine will help. I don't know.
Has he been checked for Cruciate ligament tear? If this IS cruciate ligament, surgery -as far as I know- is the best option.
Muscle atrophy is often caused by inability to use the leg properly often because of injury or pain etc.

This medication has made such an enormous transformation in her well being. Shes like a puppy!! Its been several years now, and shes still doing great! We added glucosamine to her daily regiment too. Her monthly prescription is only $36 a month.

My dog is 12 year old and has arthrits and the vet told me to use glucosamine. In the summer time he does not need it. Now my dog is whimpering and shakeing, when I pet him he stops. This started a couple of days ago. The weather got really cold fast and I just started him back on glucosamine. Does this sound like the arthrits acting up or do I need to worry? How much glucosamine can I give him? I hate when my dog is in pain, I have had him since I was in kindergarden.
s fish oil with enhanced DHA and EPA (15 grams daily), megadose vitamin E, and megadose glucosamine+chondroitin+MSM daily for anti inflammatory effects for my joint and tendon problems. I am looking to treat trauma of the brachial tendon to treat pain during bicep workouts by using a glucosamine cream. I have heard anecdotally that the cream format increases bio-availability by a staggering amount and that the oral supplement is essentially a snake oil product.
s when he started taking the glucosamine and a week after the tube was sucked in completely , and vomiting started then doctors blamed it to glucosamine.
I went to human vitamin store and got her some glucosamine supplements. I got the liquid flavored glucosamine and the glucosamine soft flavored chew. I know some cannot swallow pills. My dog eats the chews if I slightly warm them. She will not touch the liquid. I would rather put a pill in some meat or something. It is much easier for her to take. I put her back on a food with glucosamine and she isnt having any problems. I learned my lesson about changing foods.
I have degenerative disc disease of L5 and S1, and when I am in pain I use a rib belt for a few days.

I have not had any back pain, but I am having pain down the front of my leg and cannot lift it or the pain goes into my groin. Everyone is telling me that its from my back being unaligned, even if it does not hurt.

Your leg pain could be from your herniated disc. Fish oil and glucosamine with chondroitin can help lessen the pain. Leg pain is also a symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency - called intermittent claudication. Monthly B12 injections is too far apart in my opinion. I take sublingual (under the tongue) B12 spray daily. Extremely effective and pain free! Vitamin B12 is only one of the many deficiency states found with hypothyroidism.
