I've had osteo in my knee for 5 or 10 years. If I didn't take some of those things it would be a real problem. As it is one knee's just a little different to the other one.
How long does it take for improvement? If you take the right things you should notice some improvement within a week. That's what I'd expect for myself. Since you've got significant whatever it was (please excuse me, it wasn't osteo you said, I forget) I think you might be best advised seeing a naturopath and getting some good products. I order mine from Life Extension (from the US to Australia). I take a preparation which contains all those things (and one other) except the fish oil and green lipped mussell thing. I take a bit of fish oil anyway. The aim is to block all the inflammatory pathways, I don't know what their names are. COX 2, leukotreines, there's lots of different ones. I think osteo is actually quite treatable with alternatative things. It's the only treatment that does work. But expense? Yes, it's expensive because it's chronic. It's not going to go away. Hope that helps.
