I have been diagnosed with the start of DJD/OA in my shoulder. Having seen the two older men who competed in the Venice competition, I am wondering how people get around such a problem, or am I really unlucky to have to deal with it at 36 and basically screwed for upper-body exercises?
Fish oil and glucosamine are great to take but it takes along time for them to work and they only work so well. When you take a glucosamine take a glucosamine condrotent product and make sure to take a fish oil in probably a 6:1 form. You should start seeing improvement in 12-20 weeks. A product that will definitely take your pain away is called Kaprex from a company called Metagenics which is all natural but works amazing at taking the pain and inflammation away. The product is professional line so you can get it from a chrio, or a nutritionist.
