I got hit by a car years ago on my 10 speed, punted 30' and screwed my knee, Norm -

Never bothered me until the last few years - got some knot on the side now, probably calcium..I dunno...

We've been giving our dogs glucosimine chondroitin, one of them tore her ACL a few weeks ago, she's going to Boston Feb 3rd for surgery...

I'm gonna start taking it too - haven't yet, but want to see if it helps.

Be warned, it ain't cheap - look for it at CVS or something when they do the 2 for 1 on vitamins and minerals - the vet told me brand doesn't matter, start at 250 mg to see how it's tolerated and try to push it to 1,000 - I guess the same would be true for humans -

Google it and check it out anyway - it gets good reviews with no serious downsides that I know of - good luck.

Start it now man - if ya wanna hit the Spring blackfish spot in your old backyard...

Even though things are more or less the same as last year you really don't think about it until after the 40th.

Gonna get the glucosimine chondroitin this week.

Some Spring blackies sounds good right about now my friend.
