answer:Is it osteo? Is it in your other joints? Did you start to develop it at an unusually young age? Does it run in your family? I have gotten the best results by going to a Physical Therapist for several months and gradually doing a series of stretches, weight-bearing exercises and treadmill work. I start each session at home now by lying on a heating pad (on the floor) for ten minutes. I also take Omega-3, vitamin D3 and daily freshly ground flax seed plus lots of walnuts, almonds and pecans.
