Hyaluronic acid supplement for join pain
Writing this on behalf of my mother. She has been suffering from lower back pain and acute knee pain. Dr has prescribed her just pain killers in both tablet (Acenac MR) and injection form. She suffered severe loose motion for 5 days and became too weak. She discontinued her pain killer tablet and her stomach condition improved but the joint pain resumed. She is currently having Ostocalcium as a supplement and taking heat therapy. Can she take hyaluronic acid supplements?
