I'm not known for my "wiles", but there is an Indian craft store in Hannibal. I'll look for something "masculine"!

Cathy, use your feminine wiles.  Don't try to sell it to him as
therapeutic.  Get a good-looking heavy one and give it to him
as a gift - tell him how sexy it looks.  Some of them are quite
handsome, and not at all expensive.  Indian craft stores often
have nice ones.

Thanks, I'll try to convince him, but as a physician, he somehow
thinks that pills are legit and anything else is voodoo! I agree with
your doctors - the ones who say if it works, do it.

Cathy, I've used the glucosamine-chondroitin stuff, but couldn't
really tell that it made much difference. I did give it to my
arthritic old cat, and it seemed to help her.
Don't laugh at me, but get your DH a copper bracelet.  On our
honeymoon we had an automobile accident.  I was sitting
crosslegged - nobody had seat belts in those days - and
slammed both knees into the dashboard.  They were x-rayed
and said not to be broken, but the doctor who examined them
said I was sure to have arthritis in the future.  Sure enough, in
a few years I was barely hobbling.  Also had arthritis in my
neck and shoulder.  Someone gave me a copper bracelet, and
I have worn one (actually, two - one on each arm) ever since.
The change was slow, not dramatic, but very definite.  I won't
claim I have no pains in my knees, but that's usually because
of a recurrent flare-up of my long-term Lyme disease, and when I
can get a doctor to give me doxycycline it usually clears up in
a few weeks.  Some doctors see my bracelets and poke fun at
them, but others look at my hands, which aren't gnarled, and
say if it works, don't knock it.  For an old lady with disk problems
in her back and long-term Lyme, I trot along pretty well.
Give the copper bracelet a try - at least they are much
cheaper than any other remedy.

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.
