Cathy-never used the gluco/chondroitin, combo. My vote goes to the nerve
block shots I've had in the past for my back. It's the one they do under
X-ray. Not sure what drug they use, but it made a BIG difference for me.
They use the X-ray to find the exact right place to inject and it lasts for
a while if you're careful. Mine was for the lower back/leg pain but I bet
they do it for knees too. I'd check with the Dr about it.

PS-so glad you got to go to Hawaii!

Cathy, Have taken glucosamine-chondroiton for a few years but have recently 
 given it up 'cause of a chance that it was aggravating muscle aches. Have 
been  very pleased with the result of knee replacement done at the end of 
Oct. and  would highly recommend it. My doc encouraged me to go ahead and do

it while I  was still " young enough to handle it". I am planning on having 
the other  one done this year. Kathy

Just got  back from almost two weeks in Hawaii (DH had meeting, I had   
relaxation).  Was so glad that the roads were ok in my neck of  the  
woods. The doors of the car were iced shut, but once they were  open we  
drove the two hours home without incident. Missed my  hibiscus bloom,  
but came home to flowers on 5 orchids! Has anyone  tried that  
glucosamine-chondroitin stuff for arthritis? DH's right  knee is really  
bothering him. It didn't respond to steroid  injection, and the synvisc  
(?sp) injection isn't providing much  relief either. He would like to  
postpone the inevitable knee  replacement as long as possible.
