I take Ipriflavone to build my bones as well as Calcium and D3. The Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM does nothing for me. But everybody and every body is different. After experimenting, I found Essiac works for me. - So, Gram551, you might find something else that works better for your body. Also, I forgot to mention that "we" need to avoid potatoes, tomatoes, mushrooms, and eggplant and any other nightshade vegetable/fruits. These cause inflammation and pain.
Do you take any supplements such at Glucosamine/Chondroitin/MSM? They work great for me. As long as I take them every single day. My bones/joints would get so back I could barely walk, and I could tell if it was going to rain anytime soon because they would hurt even more! The Glucosamine really helped! Also a good calcium supplement. If these thinks don't help over a few week period I'd talk to your Primary Dr. about other possibilities. Good luck, I hope this helped!
Sounds like Fibromyalgia, used to be called Fibrositis. Nobody knows exactly what causes it - but the person who has it knows it isn't all in their head. I have Fibromyalgia and find that taking supplements helps alot. Especially Essiac - an old American Indian remedy. You can get it from a health food store or from HCBL 1-800-544-4225. Hope it helps you, too.
