Hey John, let me start by relaying my personal joint story. When I was sixteen I went to football practice and I started warm up laps around the field and felt a sharp pain run from my hip to knee. I didn't think much of it so I continued practice anyhow. even though I was active my entire life with sports I had never really weight lifted before. So I pushed myself really hard that day and I am pretty sure I didnt have really good form. So you can imagine how bad poor form and heavy weights are for ur back n legs. Pretty much from then on I have had problems. I was in the bed and couldn't move because my back n hips hurt so bad And I needed help getting out of bed because I couldn't do it myself. I went to the doctors and he didnt really have much to tell me. It got better to the point that Would get me through basic military training but only from borrowing motrin from my shipmates. At this point I had on and off pain. It gets worst when I wake up or I sit for a long period of time and god forbid I get on a flight out to the east coast. I never really could walk right n I always constantly getting shit for it. When I was in 'a' school I decided to try physical therapy again and i was diagnosed with ITB syndrome n I started stretching to target the IT band. It helped but I never really had relief. If I didn't workout everyday my back/hips would swell and become very painful. So now I am doing physical therapy again with a new doctor and I have also super tight hamstrings and SI band. Basically he told me I have tight body syndrome lol. And I also found out that I proved positive for the protein hla b27 which could lead to anklosing spondylitis. So this brings me to now. The other day I was researching supplements to bring for my eight month deployment coming up. I decided to go with a more natural manufacturer this time and since I really like jack3d and oxy elite pro I decided to research other products by usplabs. I came across supercrissus rx which is joint health supplement. Before I buy any new products I always research them. The main ingredient and almost the only ingredient is crissus quadrangularis. It is a super plant that primarily grows in India and is closely related to grape plants. This plant has been used for really long time to treat various medical conditions. Joint pain, weight loss, diabetes, hemorrhoids, gonorrhea and the list continues. I went and checked my findings with supplementreviews.com and supercrissus has received a 9/10 rating. And majority of the reviews I have read were success stories. I felt the product to be pretty legit so I went out and got my own bottle. I had an immediate response to it. I had taken it right before going out to see a movie at the theater and I will tell u that is the first time that I have gotten up from the movies and not had my hips swollen. I woke up the next day and got out of my bed with limited swelling in my hips. The swelling In my knees was down and the problems I have been have having with my upper back lately were minimal and that was the first day. Ever since i have been feeling better and better every day. Don't get me wrong this was not just supercrissus alone but also with physical therapy, stretching, weight lifting, ice and heat, But I feel that is definitely helping. It might help you in ur case but don't go off just what I have told but do your own research and let me know if you try it.
