I take it everyday not to heal just to keep going. you need to take it for at least 3 months before you will start to feel a benefit and even then is so gradual you won't really feel a difference. for me I only feel a difference when I stop taking them. as injurys need more immediate attention, I would recommend physio would be better. but start taking the glucosamine as it deffinately helps the jopints.

I did take it not for an injury but as piste2powder, to keep going. Not sure if it had any marked effect though - I'm still a sh*t skier

David E Goldsmith, are you on another 'father-figure-of-snowheads-so-will-try-to-start-interesting-(and to 99% of people irrelevant/waste of time)-topics-of-conversation trip or something? The place has been littered with pseudo-journalistic crap recently.

Tried it once for a hockey injury, gave me the sh@ts, never taken it since & fixed the problem with stretches

DEGsy's siege of the Northern Place doesn't seem to have broached the defences, so the "pseudo-journalistic" trebuchet has been wheeled south again.

I felt like flushing myself down the bog after reading that, I must admit

Clarky - sometimes DG is genuinely irritating - why don't you save your bile for that?

Another inciteful, factually correct and unbiased story from the Daily Mail.
I am currently taking Glucosamine and Chondritin on the recommendation of my physio for treatment of a ski injury and have not experienced any of the side effects referred to in that article. Having said that I haven't experience any benefits either, but not sure I could tell if it was working!

Reckon DM have that skull-and-crossbones pill image pre-printed on all their paper and just fill in the words around it.
Previous pearl of wisdom stories by Lynne Wallis include...
"A cracked rib? The pain in my chest was potentially fatal pneumonia. Shame my GP didn't spot it"
GP was too busy cashing his massive NHS cheque or perscribing heroin and The Pill to under age single mother illegal immigrants
and
"How that 'healthy' fruit juice could give you liver failure- or worse"
Worse by DM standard probably means a 4% drop in your property value.
Again

There's very little good quality evidence that Glucosamine has any beneficial effect, other than as a placebo. There is some evidence that it can cause GI side effects.
I don't routinely recommend it, and I don't prescribe it on the NHS.

I took it for a few months for general back problems. It didn't help at all and did cause some stomach problems.

Don t mean to put downer on this but there was a newspaper article where a chap had died from over dosing on glucosamine . . This if I remember correctly would have been in past 3 years. .obviously papers sensationalIze and other factors may have been at play. .. .however I am a fan of trying to help oneself. It s just a bit scary to hear such news

As pointed out above Glucosamine is a waste of money, another fish oil type pill company money maker

David E Goldsmith, the shocking thing here is that this is almost accurate health journalism from the DM. Welcome back btw.
As Kramer says - Glucosamine is unproven, pointless and kosciosco's sarcastic description of the story may, ironically, be correct.

I think this thread is about to save me some money (which has got to be a first for snowHeads). Thanks, Drs and others.
