It wouldn't be right if I didn't share this supplement with y'all. A few weeks ago I was seriously worried I'd need to quit this flooring game due to long term pain in my knees and ligaments. A friend suggested glucosamine which is a supplement popular for arthritus. It works by rebuilding cartilage. I'm been taking tablets for a month and the difference is immense. Pain is completely gone and I just feel so much fitter. If you have knee probs they're deffo worth a try and you'll find them in most supermarkets.
Good to know, I've a ruptured cruciate ligament in my right knee, along with a grade 3 cartilage tear, will have to give that a try.
glucosamine & chondroitin capsules etc - the chondroitin is basically good for cartildge, keeps it healthy... i've been taking supps for a while & after 22+ yrs rugby & flooring for many years i need it & guess many of us on here will / do to...
Lost a shed load of weight since last year thats my number one tip! 30 years on the floor and my knees no longer kreak!
not bad advice, i've only been laying floors for 7 years and im 25 this summer, still long enough but nothing compared to some of the veterans on here i tend to really only get the sharp pain here and there, usually if im lying in bed i just get this sharp fast burst of pain then its gone. or the same with my back quick sharp pains at the bottom of my back and sides at the same time, weird like. anyone else had that?
Ive always bought my glucosamine from here: Glucosamine and it has always served me right! However, just to answer a question above no.. there is no Glucose in glucosamine!
