I have had to steriod shots and then the biggie, Syncisc. (This costs about $2,000) I have had leg pains from the ankle to the upper high, muscle spasms and the knee pain has not gotten better. I wake up at night from the leg pain. Thinking about starting Osteo Bi-Flex. Has anyone gone through this?

I started using it because Celebrex had too many side effects. My knees and my back can tell when I don't get the daily dose of the OTC joint lube products. I am concerned about quality controls. I really don't understand why the FDA will regulate the herbs sold, but then won't regulate supplements. How about capsaicin oil for cooking vs. capsaicin oil for joint pain? Sorry for the side-track, but I am concerned that each pill has a quality a degree of pharmaceutical purity and accuracy.

I am 63 with afib meds= Coreg, Aldactone, Lasix, Zestril, and Coumadin. Your pg said Osteo bi-flex could react with the Coumadin. I have PTINR test every 6 wks and it's run 2.6-2.9, till today when it tested 4.6. The only diff is that I started taking Osteo bi-flex since the last visit. I know that it supposed to take 30dys to work, but for me it started working after 2 weeks. I tried it a year ago before all these meds, and it did nothing for me. Is this kind of reaction what you might expect?
