Glucosamine and kneel joint pain

[Garlic]

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.

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

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.

rest... rest helps me a lot.

 

also dun over stretch gg up the stairs. i used to b able to run up 2 steps at a time.

 

and i wud also grab the railing and swing down the stairs btwn landing. all those impact must hv cost the cartilage a lotsa damages

 

really lao liaoz..

[DarkLord]

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.

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....

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.

yours sounds like gout to me..

[DarkLord]

Avoid beans stuff, certain type of fish, red meat and wine.

[Guniang]

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

[Apollo]

muscle too tight tio si liak kut liaoz... must look for PeeSai Ong and his fr on angpai..

 

[Jman888]

maybe it was, but glucosamine can help to reduce the pain. so far no more pain unless i am in country with winter, the pain would kill me

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.

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.
