I wish to know where I can get the medicine Free Flex Forte. Who is the main manufacturer. What is the price in Indian Rs Thank you. ## This is actually not a medication, it is a supplement, that contains Calcium, Chondroitin, Glucosamine and Vitamin C. The manufacturer name is listed as Universal. There are several websites that sell it, that will come up in a Google search.

INGREDIENTS OF ARTHRI D ## This is a supplement, therefore it has not been tested and actually proven to help with ANYTHING. The same is true of most supplements on the market, they have not been tested and proven to actually help with any medical condition. They do have a website and they list the ingredients as: Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Magnesium, NAG, Chondroitin, Termeric, Rice Flour, Boswella, Ashwagandha, Bromelain, Evening Primrose Oil, Green Lipped Muscle and Hyaluronic Acid. You have to call to order and those who have said it runs about $50 to $60 a bottle. Do you have any other questions? ## What are people saying about the product, good or bad? ## You might be interested in reading what many are saying about this product at the related discussion thread for Arthri D.

some of the enbrel injections are painful, the more painful, the less pain and swelling i have with my RA. has anyone else experienced this. ## Usually, when you experience pain like that from an injection, it's because some of the medication has stayed in the muscle and not gone directly into the body, so it takes longer for it to be absorbed. I wonder if the slower release of it just works better for you? This is just a guess, since I have never had to use it myself. Does anyone have any experience with this? ## my husband slowly injects the enbrel injection, thankyou for your reply, do you find that, only 50% of the injections give you, stiffness and pain relief. i have been injecting the enbrel for two years and seem to be getting less relief.

for leg cramp ## Have you looked into trying Glucosamine supplements? Glucosamine + Chondroitin is a joint supplement to promote healthy joints during exercise or daily activities in general. It is also used in the treatment of arthritis. Many health food stores and grocery stores carry this joint supplement combination. You can view more information in the link below... There is also Glucosamine + MSM, which may be worth researching as well. These supplements however take time to build up in your system, so you may or may not notice it working for a while. My suggestion other than that is to stretch at least 30 minutes a day and drink lots of water. Please post back if you have any other questions or concerns.
