My 8 year old boxer mix has been showing some signs of arthritis-how much glucosamine supplement should I give him to help his joints operate better?

ive been cracking my knuckles for about 2 years now and my neck for about a year. I know that the cracking of bones does NOT cause arthritis but it DOES increase your chances of getitng it. i play guitar and i reli dont want to get arthritis when i grow up but i just cant stop doin it!!

Also i get sore necks every now and then but now i get them very often and damn they hurt!!

i dont wanna end up on a wheelchair either!!

plz help!!! Is there some kind of home-made treatment or do i need to see a doctor?

ok so abput 30 minutes ago i put zostrix hp arthritis pain relief cream on my back because it says its for muscle pain and simple back pain….after less then 2 minutes i noticed it was burning extremely and when i took my shirt off its red and i already took a shower and its still burning…it says consult your doctor if severe burning occurs buty thats not an option for me because its too expensive to go and i dont have insurance…anyone know what to do to stop the burning and what should happen??

I am especially interested in what happens to suspects with frozen shoulder syndrome who are being arrested.

for 6 months now ive been inside
forgetting about health, forgetting about reality, no schooling, no working, no more hanging out with friends, no more socializing, no more having fun with life in general. just staying inside everyday on the computer.
i have a breaking body..i dont care about my looks anymore..have graying hair, overweight, extremely weak bones..probably having some sort of arthritis, my teeth are really weak and gross, acne all over my face..
when i go out everyone gives me stares because of how unhealthy i look. so i stay inside..no more confidence in life, extremely quiet almost like a ghost that no one notices me around, slow in the mind, low attention span, when i speak its not clear and it sounds like im always depressed, i cry for no reason, im really selfish now cause i spend time alone, when im inside im comfortable because i dont have to show the world what ive become, people have talked to me but i just ignore the problems im having and getting worse. i used to want to be who i used to be..but now i dont care
i have things to pay for..but i dont care..i ignore all my calls. my health is so bad but i just ignore. i always feel empty inside so i eat, but it never fills that empty feeling….
i have things to pay for..but i dont care..i ignore all my calls. my health is so bad but i just ignore. i always feel empty inside so i eat, but it never fills that empty feeling….i get mad easily even for the littlest things now..i hate being put on spot because i dont think.
i can be happy for a couple hours and depressed the next..people think im weird so i just stay away from everyone now.
maybe its cause of my childhood? my mother had schizophrenia and my father was in and out of my life constantly.
i know i need help i just dont care. im getting slower and slower in the mind i can feel it..its like living life backwards now..becoming a child again and not caring about myself. thanks for the comments though.

This is what I have and frequently I am in severe pain and cannot walk. Does anyone have any helpful advice?

My dog is 13 yrs. old and poops in the house once every week.I let him outside today and ten minutes later after he was let in the house he pooped in the house.One time he pooped and was just laying on it. I asked him if he wanted to go outside and he just looked at me. Other than this the dog has to take Ridalyn 75mg pills to help him with his arthritis so he can walk.I give him one 75mg pill a day. He weighs 60pounds.Maybe I am not giving him enough pills?Please, serious answers only.

For the past 4 or 5 years, I have been suffering from chronic allergies, crhonic rhinitis, and sinusitis, and chronic ear popping. I went to the docs today, and she said I need to get allergy tested, but I also have a right ear infection, eustacian tube dysfunction. I think prednisone doesn’t directly treat allergies, but bacterial infections associated with allergies. I have some medical background and have taken some medical college courses, not a degree though. She said the Prednisone is used to treat my right ear infection, but she also prescribed me amox k Clav 875 mg, and that can be used to treat otitits media and allergies. Just need to clarify with my doctor as to why she prescribed me the Prednisone. I guess the right ear infection is a skin condition, according to the description on the piece of paper that came with the prescription. It says it treats arthritis and asthma too, and severe allergies. I have the allergies, but not the asthma or arthritis. I was just curious as to why my doctor specifically told me that prednisone would cure my right ear infection/ eustacian tube dysfunction? What are some side affects of this medicines, I took it awhile ago, and I’m feeling fine so far. It says take 2 tabs a day and it’s a 20mg tablet. Any info about prednisone, right ear infection, and allergy treatment will be helpful. Thanks.

My grandfather noticed this supplement, Instaflex Joint Support, and asked me to purchase it for my Grandmother, who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and often has intense joint pain in her shoulder, hands, as well as other joints. She started taking this all natural supplement and was noticing fantastic results! She normally has to take arthritic tylenol daily, but after a couple weeks of taking this supplement she was taking NONE!! It was working great for her and we really like the idea that it was all natural! :)
But recently she quit taking it as it started to cause her to have indigestion, to a point where it was bothersome.
My Question is, Is there anything she can do to ease the indigestion from this so she can continue to take it? I believe she was eating a little something prior to taking them, as she does this with her regular prescription meds, anything you can suggest would be much appreciated as she would love to continue to take this and reap the benefits, but would like to overcome the side effect of the indigestion…I’ve included the supplement information below to see if perhaps one of the ingredients is perhaps the culprit?
Thanx much!
