Serrapeptase and knee pain, January 14, 2009
By Herbalist13 from Baltimore MD

"A year ago at age 41 I found myself with debilitating pain in one knee with no known injury. In desperation I started taking a glucosomine/condroitin supplement and several months of physical therapy. The pain lessened after 8 months but still was not acceptable. After finding this product I am pain free. I am able to do everything that I could do before (such as get down on my knees) and I believe this product was integral in my recovery. I don't plan to ever stop taking it."
