    The Dr has increased my dosage of the SR over the last couple of years. 800mg now and he says don't be afraid to take an extra one a day if its bad.
    Im off to Tekapo for a weeks hunting tomorrow so I'm likely to rattle when I walk.

    Yes but it isnt released all at once like the little tablets but rather over 8 or so hours. Doctor started me on 3 800mg tablets a day 2 in the morning and one at night for a week than down to 2 for 2 weeks, now 1 a day. Its certainly not turned me into a ballet dancer but boy have I got some movement and quality of life back .

    Im the same. 1 800 a day and an extra if I need it. If I have a big carry in front of me I sometimes pop the one extra before I haul my pack on.
    It makes my knees and hands bearable and eases the lock-fingers.

    In the end I 'suppose they will all need to be replaced My brains in good order though because its never been used

    No actually its one of the few things I haven't tried.
    Come to think of it Dad takes it too.
    Expensive?

    Yeap my knees are rooted, both been reconstructed and the left one is about rooted again which will eventually mean a joint replacement probably, surgeon told me after both reconstructions "you might get ten years out of them, if you look after them..."
    Carried a fat as fallow buck for a bit last night and the knees certainly felt pretty unstable and had a few good "Clunk!" Out of them
    Trekking poles, voltaren emulgel, and a jab with hydrocortisone every couple of months keeps them going for now

    Nope, just that we have a few walking wounded at the moment.
    Shoulders, Elbows, Knees and Back get looked after first and foremost.
    The others if rebuilt just slow you down a bit, the first 4 stop you solid

    Remember the thread I started on 'Are we eating the right bits' ? This was what I was on about, eat the leg cartilage and save the trimmed silver skin from the backsteaks etc and put it in the bag with the casserole meat. Eat the shanks etc. We need to consume 12 - 15 grams of collagen per day to make a difference.
    The reason velvet deer antler helps is because of the collagen it contains in combination with growth stimulants like IGF1 these stimulate the body to absorb the collagen - so taking velvet + sinew + Ginseng = very good.

    Wish I’d taken more notice of the ol’ timers who told me off for doing so.

    Notice to all you young spikers out there..... listen to the ol’ boys. They know what they’re on about
