Does glucosamine help alleviate back pain caused by osteoarthritis?
Most pain relief creams, etc. target the muscles, rather than the nerves that are affected by osteoarthritis. I have heard that glucosamine may be helpful in treating arthritis. I am not looking for a cure, just pain relief. I am currently taking high doses of Ibuprofen, which can cause liver damage. I would rather take something that targets the source of the problem. Has anyone taken glucosamine and had positive results for back pain relief?
Yes with chondrontin mixed with it, it will help arthritis pain and is alot more healthy than ibuprofen. You might want to get off of the ibuprofen for a while as it alone does not have long lasting results. Aleve has naproxin in it and very helpful.
It concerns me that you say osteoarthritis, but you nerve pain relief?? OA usually causes severe joint pain. So if you are experiencing nerve pain as well you should see you doctor, because you may have ruptured or herniated a disc.
