  1. Hi After a long day of hill walking, my knees feel like they
    have a fluid retention, although after i run, i don't get
    this. My mother has arthritic joints & i am concerned about
    if i am next in line! Does running cause arthritis or remedy
    it & prevent. Should i take glucosamine or cod liver oil to
    help & do these products work! Thanks Gary

  2. No, jogging doesn't cause arthritis. It does however, cause
    shame, low self esteem, unlikeability, impotence, and
    atrocious fashion sense.

    try googling in the group for glucosamine or cod liver oil.

    Glucosamine works for both me and my horse. Use the stuff
    with chondritin.

    It does not cause arthritis but if you have it, it will
    aggravate the hell out of it. Running strengthgens
    healthy joints.

    work!

    I take glucosamine for preventative reasons - I'm old, run
    long and want to increase my odds. Some people knock on wood
    others wear a St. Nick around their neck. Is the glucosamine
    helping me? I ain't got the faintest idea. Glucosamine is a
    good non stomach irritating anti inflammatory. The notion
    that is causes your meniscus to regenerate is somewhere
    between BS and Smokey mirrors.

    i take it usually also. but, the fact is, it's unproven.
    just a lot of anecdotal "evidence". stuff plenty good enough
    for prevention magazine but not really science. to me, it
    looks like something to try. it's cheap enough. i forget if
    it was glucosamine or chrondroitin that was bad for you if
    you had high blood pressure. might be worth investigating if
    you're hypertensive. ...thehick

    Tell the truth. You take it to try to "stiffen up" something
    that hasn't been working for a whole lot of years now. We
    (your wife and I) all know it's never cuming back again.

    No scientists have yet published peer-reviewed results of
    clinical trials; in fact the first rigidly designed trials
    have only begun recently.

    The consensus seems to be that glucosamine probably won't
    hurt, there is a good bit of anecdotal evidence that it does
    help a fair proportion of those who try it, there is
    speculation that it slows down erosion of cartilage, and
    there is general scepticism that it promotes regeneration of
    cartilage.

    aggravate the hell out of it. Running strengthgens

    Your second line gets agreement from the research (as
    quoted by Noakes), but the first is incorrect (ibid.) If
    anything, it seems that running slows the progression of
    arthritis even after you've got it.

    The mental obstacle of going running when your joints are
    hurting before you start, however, is pretty big.

    I haven't seen any data points to suggest this but if you
    can point me to smething I would like to read it.. Once a
    joint gets inflammed the Orthopod will tell you to let your
    pain be the judge of how much/little you do but never
    suggest that running will help.
