Re: Crunchy Knees

March 29, 2001

Hi Stephainie, My doctor basically said

that the pains to watch out for were those that began

at some point in the activity, and got steadily

worse with continued exercise. That's sort of the rule

of thumb that I go by, that, and if it's a sharp

pain. I pay attention to those no matter whether they

linger or not. That, I think, means something's

seriously tweaked and I need to back off. Mild aches, and

pains that come and go, particularly when associated

with an increase in intensity, are the ones I don't

worry so much about. Tony

Neighborhood crunchy knees Posted By: lisa o- Date: Wednesday,

Q 4 people taking glucosamine sulfate: (Edna O+,

non-secretor) Hi Edna, I've had really crunchy

knees for most of my adult life (40 yo now) - even had

some bone chips taken out by the doc. When i read your

email i realised mine were feeling much better, but i

hadn't noticed 'til i thought about it. Used to be i

could sit on a chair and straighten my knee and hear

these really horrible grating / grinding noises (not

much discomfort though- thank goodness). Now they

hardly make a sound. I've been taking glucosamine

sulphate for about three years now with curcumin. Haven't

changed much else except for just starting er4yt properly

in the last week or so. I think for me personally it

has taken a while, but it [glucosamine] has worked.

I second that. Sometimes excercise creates some

mild pain but if you back off a bit but carry on, the

pain gets better. Important to ease off though I think

when you have pain. If the pain is bad or gets worse

then stop. Any sharp pains stop immediately. Mild pain

carry on carefully to see if it gets worse or goes

away. If the mild pain keeps coming back then take a

rest. Important - I'm talking about mild pain! Bad pain

then stop! I'm gradually walking farther and farther,

not 2 miles yet! Joe

Tom, Thanks! You're always digging around, always finding things to give us

hope! I have less pain now, been taking gluco/chondro for 4 months. Good

post. Joe

, I probably should've clarified

what I stated in my post about stopping exercise

during pain. I have a general dull and achy pain quite a

lot (caused by my CP in one knee and beginnings of

osteoarthritis in the other), including when I exercise. But any

dramatic increase in the pain, or sharp pain, that occurs

during exercise is a good indication to stop, according

to my OS. And then the overriding factor should be

the second and third self-checks I mentioned: does it

hurt worse the next day, and is it getting worse or

better over time. BTW, my CP knee grinds all the

time when I exercise, and that causes some dull

achiness. And my knees are sore the evening after exercise.

But sharp pain or increasing pain is a whole

different ballgame. I hope that your OS had you quantify

the type of pain you experience...otherwise I'd be

appalled if he told you to exercise thorough it. As

you've seen on the other posts, G/C could help,

especially with the osteoarthritis. I've had great success

taking it for three years now. Also, I've cut back

walking on blacktop or asphalt, and that has really

helped - I'll prefer to walk on a treadmill or grass

(uneven, so watch your ankles) or a cinder block track and

that has cut down on the amount of shock the knee

receives and so on the soreness I

experience. Hurtknees

BTW, further to what Joe said (post 795), the

mild pain stops or gets less as you continue your

exercise b/c your body produces endorphins, those natural

pain killers that block the message of pain from

getting to your brain. Also, as you warm up,

you're synovial fluids get going and provide better

lubrication to the knee, and that will help alleviate some of

the pain as well.

I have several replieds about Glocostrine I

highly recomend this product. Or else there is always

knee surgery. By using glocostrin along with OPC-3 You

will feel better and be able to walk better. OPC-3

sells for $27.95 for a one month supply or $64.95 for a

family size bottel. Glocostrine sells For $39.95 for

a 120 tablet bottel. E-MAIL me a

taz46055@..._ and I will put you in touch with my

repersentative.charlie

I knew there would be a sales pitch for this one... watch out guys... Joe

August 7, 2001

In fact I would go as far as to say please ignore

" snake-oil " salesmen with incomprehensible sign-ons who join

this site and within 90 minutes start trying to sell

their own products (eg glocostrine and OPC-3) We have

no need for them on this site... I won't waste any

more time on this subject and certainly won't be

sending this guy any money... Joe

August 8, 2001

You don't have to listen to me. I don't sell this

product. I though I might be helping you, Because it

works for me. Check out some of the other club on

this site people are talking about it. If you don't

want any help why are you complaining. Snake oil went

out in the forty's when these phar- misutical

companys started poising our body's with chemicals. But

be my guess keep on with the poisen IT is not

going to hurt me. I hear about women every day

having their breast removed because of cancer.Its is

a known fact that isotonics have helped women

with certain types of cancer and never had their

breast removed. So talk all you want thought the

back part of your body and give some doctor your

hard woking money to mutalate your body.

August 8, 2001

ps don't knock a product until you try it.

August 8, 2001

Hey guys, sorry to cause controversy, but some

things have to be said.... The thing I like about

this site is that it's a friendly and caring

community. Everyone here tries to help each other and people

post with genuine information. So far we haven't had

many (or any?) sales pitches from people trying to

make money out of our pain. So let's keep it that

way. Also, as far as I can remember, we've never had a

newcomer, who has arrived and after a couple of token posts

and within 90 minutes, begins to sell us a new

wonder-product. Complete with prices, quantities, and an

anonymous web-mail address. There are many points I

can make about Charlie's claims but I'll save those

for the moment. I would ask you to be cautious

however about a product which 1. WILL definitely

work: " It will help you to walk better " " your body

should be able to cure most deseases that you come into

contact with " " Try it and feel better " " By using

glocostrin along with OPC-3 You will feel better and be able

to walk better " 2. Will also apparently cure

cancer! " Its is a known fact that isotonics have helped women

with certain types of cancer and never had their

breast removed " 3. If we don't use it we will

have to suffer surgery and mutilation: " Or else

there is always knee surgery " " give some doctor your

hard woking money to mutalate your body " I

shalln't go into details about Charlie's level of

vitriole, other than to say this is not normal behaviour

for a " carer " . Like Tom, I did a quick search

on the web for both glocostrine and OPC-3. I drew a

blank on glocostrine but OPC-3 has been around for a

few years. It's some kind of vitamin complex. It's

marketed by " Market America " (mentioned by Charlie in his

first post). Market America is some kind of web-based

franchised marketing scheme and they bill themselves as

" America's Most Powerful Business Opportunity " . Erm,

need I say any more? Here's their

link <a href=http://www.marketamerica.com/

target=new>http://www.marketamerica.com/</a> I'd REALLY like to think

that Charlie is a decent

guy. Maybe Charlie really did get better and

attributes this to glocostrine? So go on Charlie, prove me

wrong! Give us some web links to sites which talk about

glocostrine, preferably containing independent research.

Please give us some web links to reputable,

household-name suppliers? Joe

Hi JDM,

The 'crunching' in your knees will likely go away on this diet since joint

problems are related to candida. Oftentimes, the 'crunching' is a precursor to

arthritis even though you don't have problems right now, so it's great that you

are following this diet to help your body heal.

Here's an article about arthritis and the candida connection:

all. They just make noises when I make certain moves.
