Something I did forget to mention yesterday. I have been taking Glucosamine Chondroitin ever since my surgery in September. My surgeon recommended it but was very non-committal on its benefits. He basically said that some of his patients have said that they get some relief from the arthritis pain. I don’t think it has helped at all but how would I know with all the work that has been going on there.

I need to mention a couple of things about it. Supposedly you need to have a very large dose for this to have any affect. My pills suggest taking the horse-sized pills three times a day. I’m relatively okay at it; I take my morning pill with my multi-vitamin religiously. The afternoon pill I am usually good at, at least on the workdays. It’s that last evening pill with dinner that I routinely forget. Lastly, those pills are expensive! At this point I do not think I am going to be getting any more once I run out of the batch I have.
