The glucosamine never did much for me either, but my husband swears by it. A few years ago I found a cream called Australian Dream. Its made out of emu oil and it really helps with the arthritis in my hands. I use it a couple of times a day. Lynne

I could sure use some of that on my hands and other achy areas too. Do you just buy it at the drug store? A few months ago I bought a tube of some kind of cream for arthritis and it really does nothing. I don't even want to think about how much money I've spent over the years on products that claim to help with joint pain. It would really be nice to find something that gives some relief. Linda
