: I have arthritis in my lumbar, and knees,what I need to know is what is good for the pain, and it has to be non habit forming and something that will not hurt your liver etc. I know this is a big call, but I hate to take pills etc. Thank you all and God Bless

Hi Stefano
I have a friend that suffers of the same arthritis and he is exactly like you does not want to take any medications that will effect his organs in the long run.. He has been taking Glousamine and Chrondoitin sulfate which is over the counter pills for the last two years and swears by them.. the Glousamine gives the cartilage its strength and rigidity and the Chrondroitin Sulfate attracts and retains the water.. If I were u I would give this a try make sure its a combo of the both I am sure it will not cure it but hopefully it will help the pain. Thanks Connie
