RE: Went to Dr. about my back
 

I feel for anyone with a back problem as well especially in how it relates to bowhunting. Back in college I fractured a vertebrae in my back out on the football field. I was in a brace for almost two months and missed out on the entire hunting sesaon.

It was not a good year.

Have any of you tried Glucosamine. It really does perform miracles on joint pain.
I too said yeah right when my father in law said I should try it for my back and shoulder pain from years of athletics.
I could barely raise my arms over my head and could not play catch with my son or do a push up.
After 30 days of taking glucosamine my left shoulder was pain free, it took 6 months but now my right shoulder is pain free and I can play catch with my son pain free.
Now I have been taking it for a year and can barely remember the pain I had before. I am back to lifting weights playing catch and I am up to 30 pushups pain free.
All I take is 1000gms of glucosamine once a day with 500gms of vitamin C.
This is no BS and I don' t own the company. It is worth trying, you should start to see improvement after about 30 days and for me I continued to improve after that.

Yes thats been tried. It does work for my wife, but not for me. I guess it only works on certain things.
