Thats what the doctors told me. So far so good. When it does hurt me, I do a few exercises to help it cool down. Maybe even ice it. -------------- If you can't hang with the big dogs, go your little ass home.

If the normal smooth gliding motion of your tendon is impaired, the tendon will become inflamed and movement will become painful. This is called tendonitis, and literally means inflammation of the tendon.

My right knee bothers me during squats from a fall off a scaffold 7 years ago. My left shoulder gives me some problems from working overhead though the years. I'm not a power lifter but I do work out regularly with lighter weights to failure and things hurt, especially my shoulder. I don't take pain killers.... I work through the pain. My point is, if you are injured you will know it and you should see a physician. If it is minor pain work through it. weights before dates....... pain is my friend.......... I'll rest when I get home..

I've been using both for about 2 months now, and my shoulder is starting to feel alot better. I've had some physio on it in the past, and it did help, but I truly believe the Celadrin is making a big difference! I do not believe in working thru the pain, you just risk further injury. -------------- Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

I worked as a carpenter for 35 years and pain is pretty much a common occurance, so I'm used to it. I had an MRI on my left shoulder 5 years ago and the doc recommended surgery, i.e. a cyst and some other words that are difficult to pronounce but being stubborn like I am I said no. I'll try the Glucosamine and Celadrin as I would like to eliminate the shoulder pain without surgery. Thanks :) weights before dates......... pain is my friend............
