Garlic 1st Gear July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 Hello everyone, Does Glucosamine help reduce kneel joint pain and rebuild cartilage? Pain is very bad when climbing stairs. Does this pain has anything to do with gout if a person has high urine acid? Thanks. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman888 Moderator July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 you so old liao meh? Glucosamine helps (use Tri-flex if you want to reduce pain), i took it for few months (took twice weekly and not daily, heard there are side effects). But best is to avoid certain food like soybean drink, long bean, etc. I can immediately feel the pain after having those food. I have stopped taking those pills Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusnik Neutral Newbie July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 I have been taking Gluosamine supplement for about 2 months now. It ease the pain alittle, makes the knees loose not so stiff. Does not help much. Doctor says its my weight. Reduce weight and the pain might go away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLord 1st Gear July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 Not much use lehz.. Maybe its becos my knees have taken so much abuse during NS and also after 4 surgeries, no amount of supplements are going to help much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chongster 6th Gear July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 glucosamine helps to rebuild the cartilage but gout is gout. if you have gout, treatment or prevention is a different. for joints, losing weight is probably the most helpful.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearoil 1st Gear July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 What's your age? Probably onset of some form of arthritis...which is an auto immune disease....same as gout tiggered with uric acid accumulation. See your rheumatolgist. Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer : I might be talking crap here but hey!...you are asking a medical related question in a car forum and I treated you as though you are a car with a case of bad constant velocity joints!

Guniang Clutched July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 gout may b a factor as "crystals" will be in ur joint... Try a healthy diet... low sat fat diet and up ur fish oil intake... Try self myofascial pressure release(Smfr)... Your muscles may be too tight too... stretch ur ITB,Hamstrings calves and glutes.. Mobilty and flexibilty is very impt as they also do link to backpain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 I do blame NS too for my shot knees too. Being to one arthroscopy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthroscopy ), clean up the meniscus, but still it won't heal. The pain will always be there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this pain has anything to do with gout if a person has high urine acid? Thanks. eh.. is uric acid not urine pain from gout will affect any joints, there will be redness, the joint will feel warm and there is tenderness. And it can be pain even with no movement of you affected joint. If is only walking up stairs, should not be gout. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
