Hi folks
I hope that someone out there can relate or give me some direction.
I live a very active lifestyle. I have an acute pain in the shoulder and hip
areas in the evenings. It is weird because when I wake up the pain is no
longer there. I thought this was from the work outs and so forth but when I
even do not do the work outs I get this uncomfortable pain. On a scale of
1-10, the pain is about a 5.
My friend told me to start taking glucosamine.
Just looking for some direction. I do not plan on going to see a Doctor yet.
Thanks

Hi Robert -
You really should see a Dr. There are over 177 different types of
arthritis and different drugs are used for different types. Glucosamine
works for some people to regenerate cartilage, but if that's not your
problem, it's not going to help.
It's strange that you have no problems in the mornings. Most people
with arthritis have stiffness and/or pain first thing in the morning.
Glucosamine can be pricey so if it were me, I'd see a Dr. You might
have a soft tissue problem, i.e., tendons, ligaments.
Good luck!

Hi,
I have shoulder in the evenings as well. I also have spinal pain. I
wake up stiff and slow moving, but the pain is barely noticeable. By
4pm...the fire starts! By 9pm I am ready to pull my hair out.
I have Osteoarthritis in my shoulders and spine, but I also have lupus
and gout. A good Rheumatologist will help you. I now take meds to
control pain and I also take Osteo bi-flex glucosamine/chondritin. I
feel that it has helped with the 'grinding' I was feeling in my
shoulders somewhat. who knows?
My 2 Cents

My aunty has just got a unit that provides thermal therapy (yes nomore drugs
into your body) and has cleared up her arthritis and lymphodema.
It's by a company call Hsin Ten and teh unit is called a HOthouse. You can
find them on the web, and will save you doctor going through the list 177
drugs (!) for arthritis.
Just doing my bit!
