Question I had an x-ray on my left hand, suspecting I have arthritis, because my left thumb has been hurting me a great deal for the last six months. My doctor sent me a paper stating that the person who read the x-ray said I have arthritis in my left wrist. Can you get arthritis in one area, like a wrist, but feel the pain in another area like the thumb? My wrist has no pain. I am confused. Thank you. Jonathan.
Answer Your answer is simple Jonathan.
Take 3000mg/day of glucosamine sulfate with MSM in liquid form and it will reverse the OA (osteo-arthritis). Give it a few months to rebuild the cartilage since it is not a pain killer. On that note, don't take Nsaids or other pain relievers since this blocks the ability of the GS to work.
Google the research and you will see the stellar results!
