An MRI scan on my back showed it to be in a right flipping mess - and I am now on silly high doses of a load of painkillers including tramadol, diazepam, paracetamol, amitryptyline and ibuprofen if required - I tend to alternate the tramadol and paracetamol with high strength co-codamol - but nothing is really working (although a crufts qualifier and my meds did ease the pain for a short period )

A few months back - I had to send my bioflow bracelet away to have the catch fixed - OMG - I noticed a significant deterioration in my pain levels until I got it back - proving that although it doesn't actually solve my problem - it certainly does help in some ways.

Unfortunate about the Green Lipped Mussel - as it's a very good supplement -have you tried other products where it is incorporated to see if that makes any difference?

Bioflow do a Booster belt containing three magnets which can be velcro'd to a whole host of things - I've definitely found these - along with a heat patch to help a little when I am showing (plus a huge dose of all my painkillers beforehand)!! - otherwise, I am now lucky if I can walk to my car without being doubled up with pain - I know far much more than I would like about osteo-arthritis for my age - both personally and through my girl

Thankfully, my OH is now mobile again following surgery on his knee - otherwise we would be in a right pickle !!
