In reply to glucosamine and chondroitin, posted by obsidian on May 24, 2009, at 11:14:05
Almost 10 years ago I ended up in hospital with septic arthritis.
The fluid on my knee became infected and half a cup of pus was removed before (thankfully) it exploded into the joint.
Since then I've had an arthroscopy to remove some non-functioning split-off cartilage.
I have managed to remain asymptomatic since then by the use of the recommended (non-mainstream) supplements, which of course include glucosamine and fish oil, as well as other anti-inflammatory compounds from plants.
