Riding 4 wheeler and playing basketball. Collide with guy in mid air and I hit concrete on one leg and then fall down. Wake up in pain cant move for few hours, fine few days later. Back never the same.

Re: Glucosamine Fails to Ease Aching Backs (CME/CE, with video) Do you take one combo pill that covers all three things. From the UK the MSM combo's tend to be lower dosages. I take Glucosamine 1500mg/Chondroitin 1200mg daily. I also take Collagen Two 650 mg/daily. I don't take MSM normally but wondering whether I should! I've taken it in the past though. Do you take a high dose MSM?Originally Posted by sportsnut3007
There seem to be as many studies supporting these things as there are against - you can't help wondering if you're wasting your money but after 2 major spine surgeries I think I'd rather hedge my bets!

Re: Glucosamine Fails to Ease Aching Backs (CME/CE, with video) Well I take 2 usually sometimes 3 a day of a combo of glucosamine/chondrotin/msm with the brand name spring valley ( idk if that is godo brand or not ) With the recommended dosage of 2 it comes out to750 glucosamine/600 mg chondrotin sulfate/500 mg msm.

Re: Glucosamine Fails to Ease Aching Backs (CME/CE, with video) ThinkI might re-introduce MSM into the equation!

I take 1500 Glucosamine and 1200 Condroitin Sulfate twice a day and my knee feels much better as for my spine maybe a little?
But I think the P.T.and massages is helping the most with anti inflamitories (sp?)

Re: Glucosamine Fails to Ease Aching Backs (CME/CE, with video) I can't remember what I took, but it was a couple of supplements I had read could help spine problems. I never noticed a difference; but figured they couldn't hurt. Like Ruth said, hedge your bets.
