Guest guest Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I just started back on my osteo bioflex pills. Went off them when I started chemo, and dreaded going back on them cause they are such big pills. But my joints are crying for some sort of relief. Am about to head for bed but am out of books to read now. Drat. I was at Walmart too and could have got a couple more. I think next week am going to get son to help me box up my books and take them to library. Got to make some room here. LOL. Take care Jolene Re: Joints/Chemo In a message dated 11/11/2005 8:18:16 PM Eastern Standard Time, spiritmp@... writes: Incidentally my husbands doc who did orthoscopic surgery on his knee for torn cartilage/joints told him to use Glucosamine and Condroitin - you can get it in Vitamin section or warehouse clubs - has been recommended by many docs and physical therapist as well - take daily - helps joints.
