Hobbayne Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The fingers on my left hand have become quite painful recently. I hope its not arthritis kicking in, that,ll spell the end of my bass playing days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Omega 3 fatty acids are where it's at. And the balance between them and Omega 6. I take flaxseed oil every day at that has really helped with my bad joints. Even my big right toe which I have a bad case (supposedly untreatable other than cortisone injection) of impact arthritis in from a football injury.

SteveK Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I had a similar concern a few years ago. My sister in law, a nurse of many years, [i]suggested [/i]I try Glucosamine Sulphate. AFAIK there is [b]no[/b] scientific evidence to show that taking Glucosamine Sulphate as a supplement will help. Maybe it's the [i]placebo effect[/i] at work, maybe it isn't... all I know is that I've had no serious aches and pains in my fingers since taking it.

It seems I need to get myself down to holland and barrett. Thanks discreet for the pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
