A member asked:
Is there anything to take that will help build cartilage in the joints or something that's good to help support or slow down arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Nsaids, some use chondoitin/glucosamine as a suppliment, and also activity changes or modification. They all help 2 some degree. Neoprene knee sleavs (sp) work as a non-functional brace. It gives more awareness of where ur knee is in space, and acts as a reminder 2 take it easy.
