Sore Joints -

If not please read on for our story...
Sore Joints, my husband's that is, were for me the unknown factor in our early married life.
I have known my husband for over thirty years, but it wasn't until after we married about ten years ago, that I realized how much arthritis was destroying his quality of life.
Shortly after, I began to search for answers that would help him.
At that time the cartilage was already entirely gone in both knees, two discs in his lower back were entirely gone, and a third was ninety per cent gone. The arthritis doctors had already told him that he should quit working, apply for permanent disability, and have both knees replaced.
However his regular doctor assured him that no one could get disability just because he had arthritis. He told him that he should just "grin and bear it". Since my husband loved his job, that was really what he wanted to hear anyway, so that was what he determined to do.
I began to buy joint health supplements for him that I hoped would help, but he didn’t think they were helping, so I finally quit buying them.
Sore Joints get Sorer
Six months later another specialist again told him that he needed to take disability, and that he wouldn’t be able to work more than another six months because the pain would be unbearable.
My husband was upset, but he was also determined to prove him wrong. When I pointed out to him that the supplements had been helping, and that his pain had been increasing ever since we’d stopped buying them, he told me to start ordering them again, and never complained about buying them after that!
Sore Joints Ignored
For another three years he continued to work, ignoring the pain. But finally three of his doctors met with him at one of his regular check ups, and insisted he needed to have his knees replaced.They said if he didn’t quit he’d be in a wheel chair in six months. They said he had worn away a quarter inch of bone from both legs so they would have to rebuild them as part of the knee replacement surgery.
That finally got his attention. By then his pain level was so high that he sometimes needed prescription narcotics to keep going during the day, and always to sleep at night.
He loved his job, but after forty years of working as a construction electrician, he knew it was time to quit.
Knee Replacement Fails to Solve Sore Joints Problem
Over the next three months he had both knees replaced. The surgeries went well. He was only in the hospital two days after each one.But after the second surgery he developed shingles. We didn’t realize it for four days, so the anti-viral drugs weren’t very effective.
Due to the post herpetic neuralgia that developed after the shingles, and the drain the surgeries had been on his system, he just didn’t seem to recover.
He completed his physical therapy and regained the use of his knees. He could bend both to 129 degrees when they stopped his therapy. But that didn't change the sore joints in the rest of his body.
He spent eight to ten hours each day sitting in his chair with his feet up sleeping.
He would always tell me he was SOOO tired.
I was afraid he might spend the rest of his life sleeping.
He didn't seem to have the energy to do anything but sleep!
He has arthritis in his hands, his shoulders, his elbows, and his back.
His arthritis knee pain was much improved, but the sore joints were still a major problem.
Then a New Superfood Supplement Concentrate Turned his Health Around!

He insisted it didn't help his pain, only his energy level at first, but I think he had more energy because it was already lessening his pain some. Anyway, he was soon able to go back to living a somewhat normal life in spite of the pain.
After taking it for over six months, I heard him tell someone that his pain was less than half of what it had been.
He is still not pain free, and perhaps he never will be in this life, but his sore joints no longer dominate his life.
He can enjoy his grandchildren, his fishing, and the opportunities to help others once again.
