Back / Knee problems.... Options

[Dogmeat]

I am assuming TTU has sports medicine people or whoever that can take a look at a possible lower back problem I have and what I am guessing are starting to be problems with my knees?

I screwed my back up snowmobiling last winter, and I thought it was fine for awhile, but now it's at the point I can't even lift a keg of beer up ..

And, my knees are seeming to be fucked up too .... I have to support myself with my hands on my knees even getting up from a couch or getting out of my computer chair these days

Also, does anyone know of any *cringe I hate this word* suppliment or something (legal) that aids in joint tissue repairing itself or something?

Go to a supplement store and get Glucosamine, MSM, Hyaluronic Acid, and Chondroitin.

Most brands combine Glucosamine + Chondroitin and Hyalauronic Acid + MSM in one pill so you'll only have to buy two supplements to get all four.

I used a Glucosamine supplement and Hyaluronic Acid + MSM supplement to help heal an overuse injury in my knee, worked great. Never tried Chondroitin but most people swear by it.

You can find all these in the joint health aisle.

I will give that a try.

Are there any side effects of these .... IE, are they "banned substances" or anything?
