Louise,
I agree with taking glucosamine for joint pain, and I am not one to jump on
the band
wagon about new trends.  I have only been taking it for a couple of months
and it has
helped me greatly.  I have had arthritis since high school (okay guys, you
know that
has been a long, long time) and most of the drugs I have tried had side
effects too
difficult to endure.  When I was without it for a few days, that is when I
realized how
much it helped.  I have carpal tunnel in both hands as well from repetitive
motion from
the 37 years in histology.  I recommend everyone to check with their doctor
and then
give it a try.
