I take Ultimate glucosamine powder dissolved in water. It was prescribed by my naturopath and I rarely have pain from osteoarthritis. I order it directly from the manufacturer by telephone with no shipping fee. It's also available through Amazon, but at a higher price. It's just crushed shrimp shells. If you're allergic to shrimp it's not a good idea. I'm allergic to clams and have no problem with it.
Thanks ๐ Margaret99 I will order some Cuz that Voltereen gel is not working much anymore & Let you know how it worked out oh gosh โPrimero Dios que sรญ ๐๐ผ โ Godโs Be..๐ฅฐ
I use the Extra Strength Voltaren every 12 hours (off the shelf) but now since I had a fall my GP gave me a prescription for the stronger version. I didnโt expect much but I was really surprised. It does help a lot. I cannot take oral anti inflammatory medications due to GI upset.
I'm a a leave of absense. I worked retail for the past 16 years. I stocked shelves, brought down merchandise from the very top shelf to the next shelf that the merchandise went on. I climb a ladder cart and pulled pallets. I moved every part of my body while I worked an 8 hour shift. My ac joints got very painful and my upper arms are so weak. I also have osteoarthritis in my hips and left foot. I had to ask for help everyday from my co-workers. We got a new manager and she was watching all of us work. She noticed I was using my fmla leave, I limped and was asking for help. So, my dr. put me on a leave of absence. He also sent me for a functional capacity evaluation. I can't stand long, sit long, I walk very short distance, I can only lift 0 to 6lbs. My family helps me with the chores and cooking. When I exercise the pain is so great I have to stop. So the only exercise I try to do is walk. I have to use a walker due to so much pain. My pain medication isn't helping anymore.
