Pain In Plucking Fingers - Solved With Osteo Bi-Flex!

[mrjim123]

I'm 74, and play electric bass. Several years ago I developed pain in my two plucking fingers. It was never diagnosed, but I suspect it is arthritis. I got through 3 hour gigs OK, but the pain made me cut down on practice time a little. Ibuprofen (oral and gel) helped somewhat, but I found something better!

A few months ago I started taking Osteo Bi-Flex (the one with Glucosamine and Turmeric). About the same time my finger pain disappeared! I'd highly recommend trying it if you have similar pain.

A few days ago I switched to the cheaper Kroger brand "Glucosamine Chondroitin / MSM Complex". Only time will tell if that will be as effective.

I used to take that but stopped. I think I'll try it again now that I'm 65 and my hands get achey and numb...

Good to know! I'm going under another shoulder surgery next week and the MRI confirmed osteoarthritis throughout. Will need to pick up some of this

In the original post I mentioned that I had switched from Osteo Bi-Flex to the cheaper Kroger brand "Glucosamine Chondroitin / MSM Complex". I've been taking the Kroger brand for two months now and still NO finger pain!

Does the generic stuff taste any better than the real ones?

Not much taste, but the pills are pretty big.
