I had some knee problems 2yrs ago and my chiro recommended taking Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM plus Vit C.


I took GNC Triflex which has these 3 components plus C1000 also from GNC

Now no more knee problems.

Taking care of the knee is more than just taking glucosamine. You would want to take care of the bones and muscles as well. So to overall take care of it, it means lots of rest, theraphy and on top of taking glucosamine, take calcium magnisium and protein powder as well.

There is a product called Cam that can help knee cap problem but it's only available via direct sales. I am taking it and I can swear by its effectiveness. PM me if any one of you interested.

After my recent HK trip, my knees hurt a bit from all that walking…came back home resume my weekly hiking routine.


Yesterday, we went to Bt Timah and did our usual dairy farm loop… noticed my left knee gave a little pop sound (painful enuf to make me cry out) when I got up from a seated position…happened a few times and I had to sleep with a pillow under my knees to lessen the strain.

Today, after dropping son off for his cca, we went to MacRitchie; walked all the way to the ranger station (near tree top) and back.

And the popping sound and slight pain is still there. Will taking glucosamine help? or is it time to see a doc.

Think your might want too see a Doc to see if anything is amiss first. The Pop sound sounds pretty worrying.


I do have pain in the knee cap when walking up and down the stairs about half a year ago and start applying Glucosamine Cream (TGC from Watson), eating more calcium(Milk and Soya) and Glucosamine supplements for …that kind stop the pain for me after 2 weeks or so.

Now only apply the cream like once a week…or so for maintenance…

I have also injury my knee cap due to falling down. It has recovered, but the pain will appear on and off previously, especially when the weather is cool (raining day). These is what I do for the past few years to prevent the pain from coming back. Hope it helps:


- At night when you sleep, wear long pant or cover your knee cap with blanket. To prevent the night wind or air-conditional moist.

- I apply a cream make from Thailand. Can find in most of the phamacy or those chinese medical shop. It's call \"Counterpain\" Analgesic Balm. When you find the symption of pain or cracking sound, apply it, especailly before you gone to sleep. It really works.

- Do simple knee cap exercise when not in pain. You can do when you sit down in office or watching TV. Simple!
