Last New Years day I had to go to the ER for a UTI. (live in a small town and we don't have clinics and my docs office wasn't open on holiday). Anyway the ER doc comes in and asked me why on earth I was taking Glucosamine. I told him it was for my joints and he asked if I had joint pain, and I told him that I did not, but it was for prevention. He told me that I didn't need to prevent joint pain unless I was doing something stupid....like running. I told him that I have been running for 5 years. He spent 30 minutes telling me how dangerously crazy running was and that it would ruin my knees and I would have to have my knees replaced before I'm 50. He told me that I should swim everyday instead. BTW, this guy was about 50 pounds overweight.

You cried? Might want to get a checkup from the neckup. She said it's not the endo your running career. Your thinking it's the end of your life or something? Get a perspective. You have a bulging disc, your sister's Phd doesnt make her a doctor.<HR>

Such hostility....give it a rest, for crying out loud.....
