I have been to a Doctor recently with an X-ray of my hands. The Dr said that I must be in a lot of pain based on what she could see from my X-rays. I don't suffer very much pain at all and the arthritis has not progressed much in 20 yrs. The medical people have suggested Glucasomine which I do take . I also take 2 capsules of New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel extract and 2 capsule of Curcumin daily.
That is why I have pain-free hands despite what my X-ray says!
