I Had A Knee Replacement Op Two Weeks Ago How Long Will It Be Before I Can Reduce Taking Pain Killers?

Your new knee joint should also allow you a full range of movement. If you are still getting pain quite often or if your knee is not moving as it should you should go back to your doctor to get it checked over. Good luck.

Has Anyone Ever Known A Dog To Get Sick From Taking Glucosamine?

I have given her dosage in the past and found out that I was giving her too much. I have started again recently, giving her the proper amount according to her vet. She is a very large (not fat) Golden Retriever, so he said to give her 1500 mg per day (split 750 twice a day). She refused to eat this morning and still had not eaten when my husband checked on her at lunch – that is not like her at all. She is also very lethargic. My first intuition is to stop the Glucosamine again, but I don’t want her joints to go bad. She is only 8 years old.
