The first time you get a flare up in your left knee and one in your right big toe and can't walk to the restroom, let alone go fishing, you will get to the doctor! But don't wait for that to happen. Longer joint exposure to the build up can cause permanent damage!

I'm no doctor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night! LOL!

Lol. The orthopedic told me to talk to my regular dr about it. Since I’m on other meds he wouldn’t prescribe it. But I sure don’t want it again. It’s bad enough in the toe but the knee was almost unbearable.
