Hello
You are taking REJOINT tablet as in the left joint there is osteoarthritis , while right leg is polio effected .
Some thing I want to tell you that rejoint ( glucosamine + chondroitin ).
Glucosamine acts as an essential substrate and stimulates the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans and the hyaluronic acid needed for formation of proteoglycan .
I mentioned all this so that you can understand that this will act as a normal substance for joint and you can use it for even very long time ( within normal doses ) without any side effect.
Since your weight is 160 lbs ( 80 kgs) 1 capsule 2-3 times a day is sufficient.
Lemon juice in lukewarm water on empty stomach help in many cases but I don't have any scientific proof .
Hope this will be useful for you.
Good luck.
