The Pain.

[ShadyGrady66]

I don't really have a question, I've been reading for a few days now comments about OA and Fibro and actually I got a feeling of some kind relief with my pain and its toll on my body and mind. I first notice OA and found that I had it about 25 to 30 years ago. For years I just thought everybody hurt like I did, my feet would ache then my hips, wrist, shoulders. I noticed other people having issues with their body parts and doing the same thing I was doing. (pills) I never did like the pills because of the bm side effect. I never abused them, I told my doc that I didn't get that high feeling people would ask me about, he said it was because I had real pain and wasn't just abusing drugs. Anyways, my family roots have never had a habitual problem with alcohol or drugs. I feel fortunate for that. I don't smoke, or drink, or take pills for OA anymore. I have 7 other pills I still have to take each day. Anyway back to the pain. I set here kinda laughing at what I have read. I've often thought here in my mid 60's that I'd like to have the ability to let anybody I wanted to just give all my pain to them for 15 minutes just to see if I am a wuuusss or if other people would just bark every time they moved something.. like just getting out of a chair. It's a real shame that OA is so devastating to our bodies but that's just the way it is. It's aweful to say but it's nice knowing that there are people everywhere in just as much pain as I am in. Love those Cortisone shots!!!!

I also eat Extremely healthy (homecooked meals, almost a vegan vegetarian).  Don't know if that has anything to do with g & c capsules working for me, but it might be a factor (heavy reliance on junk/convenience/processed foods can worsen some syndromes).

They didn't work for me.
But is still worth trying.  

I also tried other remedies - rosehip, celadrin, Vitamin A supplements.  
Unfortunately, there comes a time, when nothing helps.

Glad it has worked for you.

You've osteoarthritis?  Have you tried chondroitin + glucosamine tablets?  I found they worked wonders at pain relief for my osteoarthritic knuckle joints.  They did not reduce the swelling but I can live with that.
