Default Hunting with Bad Knees and Hips

I know a lot of guys with joint problems from accidents, work or just age. There have been a few discussions about exercise that won't make them worse. Common consensus is swimming and Biking are two of the better low impact workouts. I also know that with all the Government incompetence in the way our health care system is managed that getting knee or hip surgery is turning into a multi year wait for many people.

I was at the point that my one knee was constantly very painful, the result of a previous injury that accelerated arthritis in that joint. After x-rays and an MRI the doctor and specialist said the only fix was surgery once it got bad enough. I had tried physio etc but that doesn't fix osteoarthritis. I wasn't to the point of wanting surgery as I could control it with over the counter painkillers but I refuse to take them two to three times a day so I just learned to live with the constant pain and having to use a cane. I saw a discussion on another hunting forum about bad knees, hips etc and a fellow on there, with quite a few corroborating comments from people who had previously taken his advice: Take two 3 Milligram Boron Tablets a day, one in the morning, one in the evening. Boron is a naturally occurring element, like iron etc. After a bunch of Google searching I could find no issues or contra indicators to using it, unless you had Kidney problems.

I ordered some Now Foods brand off of Amazon. You can get two 250 capusal containers for 40 bucks. To try it, I ordered the 100 pack. After a week I could feel quite a difference. After two weeks, my knee no longer had the chronic pain, now even when I walk on it a lot, it will get tired but it doesn't hurt like it did. I also no longer need the cane for walking. After two months my knee is not back to what it was before the injury but it is a WHOLE lot better. I have recommended it to a couple of friends with hip and shoulder problems. It has worked for them too.

I know there are a lot of other things that have worked for people and posting those is always helpful to.Like all things, consult your own doctor before taking a new supplement but if it works as good for others as it did for me, you will be very happy with the results.
