Constant Joint and muscle problems!

exercise forever

Hey ladies,

I have been dealing with alot of well I would say joint and tendon problems. I first dealt with achilles tendonitis last year and now recently I have dealt with my other foot hurting around the ankle and the same hip bothering me off and on. I have been forced to do low impact and alot of times I won't do anything at all! Dh says the it sounds like my body is depleted from some type of vitamin. He says it is not normal to have so may pains.

I guess I'm asking if anyone has had this problem and if there is some type of vitamin or something to take? I don't know if this is arthritis and if it is, what do I take for it? I am really frustrated with having some sort of pain all of the time!

I appreciate any advice!

Hey Deb,

Yes, I have heard of the supplement you are talking about. I read on the bottle one time to take it three times a day. Is that the way it should be taken? And yes I had AT and PF, and it can be frustrating sometimes!


Thank you,

kim
 
Hey Kim,

I trashed my ankles and my hip from 20 years of running and then training for a marathon. Supposedly because I'm taller (5' 8") it's harder on my joints? Who knows. Anyway, I can't run anymore unless I'm on vacation and have no other options. Too much step hurts my hip, so I try to do more indoor cycling in the winter and use an elliptical to balance out the step workouts.

Anyway, I was taking glucosamine and chrondroitin (sp??) with very minimal relief. Then my mom told me that she started taking Osteo Bi-flex and was able to sleep all the way through the night for the first time in years (she has had one knee replacement and needs another). Then I heard some other people talking about it so I figured I'd try it. BIG difference! I don't know why, but it helps soooo much more. I buy it at Sam's. You are supposed to take 2 a day. I think it took a week or two for me to notice a difference.

Good luck!

I take a supplement from Total Health Enhancement.
They make a product called Hemoxide for overall health and they also have a supplement for joints. I have alot of aches and pains from too many horse related wrecks. I really notice that I feel better overall, have more energy, sleep better at night, and my joints don't hurt. They work of the Nitroxide pathways in our bodies.
Just click on personal health.
They also have a money back guarentee so you can't loose.

I second the podiatrist recommendation. I pulled my AT, then reinjured it doing step too often. Once I got my shoes corrected (and not just my workout shoes...I only now wear shoes that fit me well all day long), it finally healed. It was affecting my AT, my knees, my ankles...very frustrating!

Now I can do step without a problem, though I baby it just in case. It takes too long to recover from those injuries!

I also take GNC's Triflex (glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM). Honestly, I'm not sure that I really notice a difference, but it comes in a chocolate or peanut butter chewy and it's like eating candy twice a day! :9 :)
