Saw this product recogen and understand its meant for the joint. Not sure how effective it is. Has any forummers tried it before and is it useful or effective? What about other products that is also good for the joint, especially at the knee area.
Just my humble opinion no offense intended. Maybe you should get your knee looked at before goin for these stuff. Not that these supplements are no good, but you may be shocked to find out something you never knew. I went thru this myself not too long ago. Severe back pain after my gout episode 4yrs ago. Went on many supplements then for bones joints etc then my back pain started & getting worse & worse. One day cannot heck, went to see GP, referred for Xray, then referred to Mt E to specialist, then referred for MRI & the MRI shows it all. I have a slip disc & another is degenerating. Surgery is not necessary for it has not reached the stage where I cannot live a normal life but if I wanna blow 60k away, they'll be more than happy to cut me up. Now going thru physio therapy & it has helped lots. I do not have those pains or what not anymore & I'm still goin thru physio & still eating those supplements. Hope this helps

L4/L5 S1 slip disc and degenerative. The operation is known as fusion. They will remove the damaged disc/discs and replace it with artificial discs at the same time, joining L4/L5 together with metal bars and screws to let it operate as one piece. Thus the affected disc will not be an issue after the op. Degenerative disc is normal for all aging folks, only how fast how severe. Such cases, physio can help. My mom has also just started going after I brought her there. She is so active now & says it saved her life. She's 70+ fyiWas that your lumbar number x & lumbar number y is degenerating or impacted right, something like that? what can they do with the operation? I do not have this, but I know an elderly person who has....the doctor say...too old & risky to operate!
Yes, understand where you are coming from.
Have seen the GP and was prescribe some supplement (Cartiflex was the name). It seems to be working, normally after going for brisk walking, the pain is not so obvious. Interestingly, the pain is at the side of the knee area and the doctor says that is it due to the soft matter (not sure what is that) thinning out. Have gone for X Ray, though could not tell much.
Not sure if going for MRI will help.
The thought is if the collagen in the product will help to alleviate the problem.

The problem in Spore is that they follow the American system. Each time you visit a doctor you will end up paying $$$ from your visiting the GP, Xrays, Specialist, MRI,... If you had proceeded with the procedure, there would be other costs adding even more to the $$$. It's like a gang rape
.
Well, that's life here. Spending, if it works, is worth it I feel.
Looks like one more image was missing it's this anyway
