One thing that I started taking, that has helped me a TON!!!!!
Was Controlled Labs Orange Triad multivitamin.
It helps....there is some joint pain....but not like it was.
Definitely more manageable.

It's gonna sound a bit silly, but eat 3stalks of celery daily. It has helped my mom with her knees and wrists.

Move Free is an excellent supplement for Joint pain and aches. It takes about a week to work, but there is a noticeable difference.

I take Vitamin D3

I have a little crackling in my hips when I do squats and lunges, so I asked my doctor about it. She said her husband (an osteopath) had the same problem and started taking glucosamine for it. After taking it regularly for a few months he saw much improvement. I've been taking it for about a month now and I hear much less "cellophane" from my hip joints now. Maybe it would work for you too? She did say it has to be taken regularly and takes some time to show results so you have to be patient.

I take a move free ultra daily in the evening, along with a multivitamin and a capsule of turmeric. I'll take a ginger in the morning if I remember. Both ginger and turmeric are natural anti-inflamitories, the move free is for cartilage etc.

I don't have joint specific pain, but I'm 47 and my mom does, trying to ward it off. I do have residual pain from a car accident 10 years ago that left me with bursitis in both shoulders, and neck issues.

Taking the spices has allowed me to almost completely stop using ibuprofen or aspirin for daily aches and pains, because I rarely have them now.

First thing is talk to a Doctor to make sure you do not have a condition they need to address. I can say that taking glucosamine has helped me with my wrist pain caused by a couple injuries. My chiropractor recommended it to me. The adjustments would help but would not "stick" after 3 months of glucosamine I am almost pain free. I have had only 2 adjustments in that time. I take other supplements also but did not see improvement until I added the glucosamine.

I take glucosamine which really helps. I notice if I forget to take it for even two days in a row I start to have the pain and stiffness in my knees and other joints.

Also, as I lose weight and there isn't as much pressure on my joints the pain and discomfort decreases, so that's something to look forward to.

Lasmartchika

Triple Flex Glucosamine from Nature Made. It's been such a huge help for joint pain.

No, it doesn't (unless you're referring to a placebo effect).

Just published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), a meta-analysis of glucosamine and chondroitin for osteoarthritis involving 10 trials and 3803 subjects – showing no benefit for either, separately or in combination. These supplements, like so many that have gone before them, are little more than expensive placebos.

Consult your doctor first. Common causes joint pain are arthritis, osteoarthritis, degeneration of joint cartridge, and hyper flexi joints. For supplements, I would suggest Deer Velvet, like that of Kingly Life. Kingly Life has proven to assist those people suffering from joint pain.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Very common dancer/athlete supplement.

I know this is anecdotal, but my arthritic dog has gone from barely shifting around to running around after a couple of months of taking it. There must be some kind of benefit and pain relief, at least in his particular case.

Like someone else mentioned, go to a doctor FIRST. I had elbow / forearm issues where they were hurting all the time, and at work (desk job) I had t constantly stretch my arms out after an hour or so of working due to pain. I had tendinitis which needed surgery to clean and get the inflammation down.

It still hurts to this day, but when I workout I use these: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/sling-shot/compression-cuff.html

You are not a dog.
