Osteoarthritis In Hands, Spine, Neck, Painful Hands, Feet. Taken Glucosamine, Chondroitin. No Relief. Is Instaflex Recommended?
I have osteoarthritis . I m over 65, it started in my hands when I was 29. I took glucosamine and chondroitin for a few years, it never seemed to make a difference. It is now in my spine and neck. It is not terribly painful anywhere but my hands and feet . Surgery in my feet has been suggested but, for other medical reasons, that s not an option. I just read about Instaflex. I wonder if WebMd recomments it? Thank you,

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Advanced osteoarthritis is an age related degenerative process. Instaflex is a nutritional supplement of joint lubricants. It is not likely to be more effective than the supplements you have already taken.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
