Do any of you suffer with arthritis? I have it in my right knee and since having our 14yr old dog pts,in August I have to admit to being less inclined to exercise,so my knee is giving me hell! The little bit of extra weight from lack of exercise hasn't helped either ;)
I take glucosamine and cod liver oil supplements,but don't want to start on strong pain killers or anti-inflammatory tabs! Doc. suggested the gym:( nearly killed me!
As we have a new pup due in a few weeks I want to get much fitter again,I am back to walking,after being so lazy,but it hurts! have any of you tried alternative treatments? and has anyone used Emu oil as I read somewhere that it has good results for this complaint?
Any help/advise will be truly,gratefully received :)

A friend of mine swore by a teaspoon of honey a day for her knees. I know that the health food shops sell royal Jelly Capsules which have health benefits????

Didn't it make her knees sticky, Brainless? ;) Or did the action of the dogs' tongues licking it off provide a benefit?
:D

Shark cartiledge, chondroitin, green lipped mussel extract also assist with athritis. Celery seed helps detox the joints. Cider vinegar & honey are also s'posed to be good.

There is a product called Synflex, that I buy for my dogs, but is also for use in humans which has Glucosamine, chondroitin, shark cartiledge etc in it available from http://www.activexamerica.co.uk

Judging from he results I've had with Taz, I'd say its worth a go.

If your into natural stuff these are good on price. Simple packaging and bulk buys, they are cheaper for some stuff than the wholesaler we go to. They'll send a free catalogue too.
