Being unable to take anti-inflamitory medicines, and in terrible back pain with a lot of spinal problems, I researched this, and am pleased with the relief already!

Comment:
MSM has been a miracle for me. I took a lot of it for the first 5 days and then decreased my daily dose. Now I take 1000 mg about three times per week. I no longer have pain in my knees or lower back which was previously debilitating. I love this stuff.

Comment:
Pain and stiffness have been greatly relieved. However both thumb joints seem at times to feel loose, like they are slipping. I have cut back from 2000mgm per day to 1000mgm to see if this will eliminate this side effect.

Comment:
MSM helps reduce the pain in my finger joints. I have used it for a numer of years and stopped at one point. I had much more trouble with swollen and painful finger joints so resumed using and have little pain and swelling in my finger joints.

I was using Glucosamine and Chondroitin when I was fist diagnosed with Arthritis.When I started using MSM I could finally use the stairs so much better.
I have a hard time taking most drugs,so this was a blessing to me.I have had arthritis for 11 years and am so glad I found this early on.I walk every day .Even places with steps are easier for me.
