I got the cane after a bad fall and told myself it was temporary. That was 3 years ago. It sat by my front door every single day since and I never once got used to the sight of it. I started VitaJoint expecting nothing. It was gradual, but by week 8 I walked out to the garden and realized halfway there I'd forgotten the cane by the door.
I've wasted so much money on joint pills that I almost didn't try this. Nothing happened the first 2 weeks and I figured here we go again. But on week 3 and 4 I actually started to notice something. Less stiffness, a bit less pain, even slightly better sleep. I'm not saying it's a miracle but I'm 4 months on it and I have slept through every night since.
I was getting cortisone shots every few months. A couple weeks of relief, then the pain came back worse than before. My doctor said surgery was the only option left. I started VitaJoint as a last ditch effort and the difference has been crazy! I haven't gotten an injection in 6 months and I don't plan to anytime soon.
I couldn't kneel without holding onto the fence post, so I'd been telling my daughter gardening was just "getting harder" for 2 years. Tried glucosamine for 8 months, nothing. 3 weeks on VitaJoint mornings were less stiff, and by week 8 I was in the tomato bed for 20 minutes without thinking about it.
My knees had gotten so bad that I would plan my entire day around avoiding stairs. Going up felt like an impossible challenge. Coming down was somehow much worse. I started VitaJoint and by week 5 I was already going down stairs without help from my husband. I had not done that in years.
My knees had gotten to the point where I was afraid to pick up my granddaughter. I was terrified my legs would give out and I'd drop her. After 6 weeks on VitaJoint I finally felt steady enough to scoop her up at a family dinner and carry her around the yard. I hadn't trusted my own legs like that in over a year.
