I was taking Glucosamine Chondroitin for years and it made no difference, my knee deterioration continued.

I'm sorry to hear that! We all have individual reactions to our pain and to our improvements with one or the other modalities. I just like this 'forum' because I learn and sometimes benefit from one person, and sometimes not...AND my friends who've had TKR gave me a heck of a time about cancelling my TKR, and I finally said, 'I don't have pain anymore! Would you do it if your pain stopped?' That pretty much stopped them from making me feel guilty! BUT I am perfectly aware that anything can change in a heartbeat...at 70 years old, that statement is true for everything! Good luck to you!

Many studies have been made without any conclusive evidence that Glucosamine Chondroitin works. I like you also took Glucosamine Chondroitin for years without any benefits thinking "what the heck, it can't hurt."
