Does Joint Ease really work?
AnswerNo, a new study shows that this type of treatment is not worth spending your money on.here is why....Background Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are used to treat osteoarthritis. The multicenter, double-blind, placebo- and celecoxib-controlled Glucosamine/chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial (GAIT) evaluated their efficacy and safety as a treatment for knee pain from osteoarthritis.Methods We randomly assigned 1583 patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis to receive 1500 mg of glucosamine daily, 1200 mg of chondroitin sulfate daily, both glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, 200 mg of celecoxib daily, or placebo for 24 weeks. Up to 4000 mg of acetaminophen daily was allowed as rescue analgesia. Assignment was stratified according to the severity of knee pain (mild [N=1229] vs. moderate to severe [N=354]). The primary outcome measure was a 20 percent decrease in knee pain from baseline to week 24.Results The mean age of the patients was 59 years, and 64 percent were women. Overall, glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate were not significantly better than placebo in reducing knee pain by 20 percent. As compared with the rate of response to placebo (60.1 percent), the rate of response to glucosamine was 3.9 percentage points higher (P=0.30), the rate of response to chondroitin sulfate was 5.3 percentage points higher (P=0.17), and the rate of response to combined treatment was 6.5 percentage points higher (P=0.09). The rate of response in the celecoxib control group was 10.0 percentage points higher than that in the placebo control group (P=0.008). For patients with moderate-to-severe pain at baseline, the rate of response was significantly higher with combined therapy than with placebo (79.2 percent vs. 54.3 percent, P=0.002). Adverse events were mild, infrequent, and evenly distributed among the groups.Conclusions Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate alone or in combination did not reduce pain effectively in the overall group of patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Exploratory analyses suggest that the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate may be effective in the subgroup of patients with moderate-to-severe knee pain.

Will dysplasia in dogs happen over night?
Hip Dysplasia is a progressive genetic joint disease.It is not predictable as to when or even if a dog with HD will start showing signs of lameness due to pain. There are many environmental factors, including caloric intake and the level of exercise, which can affect the severity of pain and lameness. Many dysplastic dogs with severe HD can run, jump, and play as if nothing is wrong, and other dogs with barely any HD x-ray indications are severely lame.Eventually, when the joint cartilage wears away there is a bone to bone contact, which creates osteoarthritis.Initial treatment is aimed at relieving pain and improving function with medication for the treatment of degenerative joint disease. If pain cannot be controlled there are surgical procedures which may relieve pain and improve function in some dogs.Many people swear by the daily use of a Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplement to help slow the progression of the condition. The time to begin supplementing a dog's diet withGlucosamine and Chondroitin, is before the condition becomes advanced. Glucosamine in a pure form, or combined with chondroitin, can be purchased in health food stores, at veterinary clinics, and in pet supply catalogs. Products that contain human grade glucosamine and chondroitin are much more likely to be of high quality and in a purer form. Products designed for dogs often have ascorbic acid or manganese to help aid in the uptake of glucosamine in dogs. Products made especially for dogs may be flavored or fortified with other minerals. The most expensive product is not always the best. Compare the ingredients between products to ensure that you are getting what you pay for. Some of the most popular products for dogs include Drs. Foster and Smith's Joint Care, Cosequin, and Glycoflex, or ask your vet for a product recommendation.Your dog would need to receive the glucosamine and chondroitin supplement daily for at least 8 weeks before you see better mobility. Your dog will need to take glucosamine and chondroitin supplements for the rest of his life, because if he stops taking them, he'll begin to experience a recurrence of arthritis symptoms in four to six months.Glucosamine and chondroitin do not control pain, so using some kind of pain control medication is necessary. After the first 8 weeks you can decrease the amount of pain medication to see how well your dog is doing.
