As soon as I saw this thread on Natural Health....this immediately came to mind. Back in 2000, I had a severe foot issue and it was discovered to be Plantar fasciitis. I will never forget it....was walking from the parking lot into work and it felt like I was walking on glass. Every step felt as if I was being cut and it took about 10 minutes to get from the parking lot into the office. I worked at an Arboretum.
I had been having trouble for several weeks prior and had gone to the podiatrist, even getting cortisone shots in my feet, twice! The pain came back withing 2 days. The day I mentioned above was the worst day of all and the day my life changed. When I finally got to my desk I was actually crying and the other office girl after learning my symptoms decided to call her chiropractor of all people. I remember sitting there and thinking, " well, she's trying to be nice but her doc isn't gonna care about me." That women changed my life, she got off the phone and her doc said for me to take a total of 3000mg daily of MSM in tablet form. Take the 1500mg tablets, along with 1,000mg of Vitamin C and 1- B complex daily. I was told not to take everything at once but to spread out these through out the day, except for the MSM. Take all 3000mg at once.
I was in a level 20 pain. I had actually considered a few weeks prior the possibility I was going to be in a wheel chair, I was 42. Again this day made me realize, "hey what do I have to lose". So after work, I walked myself into a GNC and purchased what I needed. I woke up the next day and came down my stairs and immediately I could tell a 30% improvement. The long name for MSM is Methylsulfonylmethane. It's organic sulfur. As God is my witness, this stuff helped me practically overnight. The next day, I had a 30% percent improvement, to say I was elated would be an understatement.
I will put the link to both the problem and the cure. I also have had many others we knew who had the same issue and told them what I am sharing with you and it helped them not have surgery. But....my brother said it only helped him a tad, not enough to get excited. But it does help many other joint aliments and other stuff. You can research and read others opinions.
Also I am bad about not keeping up and taking it everyday, but when my legs, knees or feet start hurting, along with exercise to flex my plantar fascia tendon, I take my MSM. I now take the powder from the GNC, as that stuff is is it's purest form. I use a tsp. of that and dump in a glass and then add the water about 8 ounces. I can't taste anything and it dissolves on it's own. Research will tell you if you can see the powder in your glass you didn't get pure MSM. But some like the tablets.
