I had knee pain in both knees so bad I thought I might be headed for a 
wheelchair.  Thanks to this list I found both CS and MSM.
I probably don't take the CS regularly enough, but average about 4 to 8 oz per 
day.  I started on one heaping teaspoon of MSM twice daily (about 8 to 10 
grams), and I use the Lignisul with no side effects at all.  Within 3 days I 
was 80% pain free, and now experience no pain whatsoever.  If I forget to take 
it the pain will gradually return.   I have been trying to find out if anyone 
has gotten rid of the arthritis completely with CS, but haven't heard from 
anyone as yet........ I order mine from msm-msm.com and find the people there 
wonderful and very knowledgeable.

  Hi,
  My name is Mary Anna; I am new to the group and learning I might add...My Dh 
is having terrible knee pain; he needs a knee replacement but the physician 
will wait till he is in his 60's so that the replacement will last his 
lifetime...Nevertheless, he need help..He is taking Glucosamine Chondritin and 
Celebrex arthritis medication...Nothing really helps!...Outside of CS, I am 
wondering about something to rub the knee with...Any and all help appreciated,  
 TIA, Mary Anna
