Dawn, its just a thought but may be worth a try. I learned from my physical therapist during my rehab from a broken hip in two places; your joints, muscles, etc. need the proper nutrients to operate he said. I was on Ensure each day among other things until EnsureAliv came onto the market. Once I used it, I have not needed anything else; since something that it has didn't get through in the amount needed. Try it, maybe you won't need medicine if you can find out why such components arent being absorbed.
