Update
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It started out as a crooked path but all is well. Such pain in my knees back on 2/6/08 - like needles of fire. All I was doing was walking, albeit too much too soon but the pain was a shocker to me. I came to this site and a bunch of you helped me in trying to figure out what I could do. Well,,,,,
I purchased Schiff Move Free Advanced tabs and started taking them 2/12.
I rested for a week & then resumed my walk on 2/18 *s l o w l y* at 1 mile for 1 week. Then 1.5 miles for 1 week.
Glad to say my knees are better & pain free. Ankles ache a little but I've always had a weakness there.
This glucosamine, etc. seems to do the trick. I am so glad I asked questions when I started because you guys saved me from giving up!
I will continue to take these supplements for they seem to be turning the corner for me and it is FUN to get out to walk every day. Yesterday, for instance I walked 5619 steps for a total of 2.39 miles and no pain! Yeah!
Now if only the cold weather would beat a retreat so I can ditch the beanie, scarf, gloves and coat!
Thanks again to all!
