The Importance of Joint Health in Women Over 35
As I have gotten older, I have become far more aware of how my body feels. My joint health has been affected by many things over the last 8 years. I believe that this has mainly been down to stress for a number of different reasons.

Joint health issues I have experienced
I have always had weak ankles – right from my early teens. As I put on weight, due to comfort eating, IVF treatment and pregnancy including the pre-eclampsia – my feet once again started to suffer.
I was diagnosed with plantar faciitis as well as something called tibialas posterior tendon dysfunction. My left foot has been so painful as a result of this and, whilst my weightloss has helped, I still get a lot of foot cramps at night.
As well as the ankle issues, I got a frozen shoulder. This happened just after my first miscarriage and the pain was excruciating. Thankfully, this is so much better these days.
How can I help myself?
I have tried a number of things to improve my joint health.
After I was diagnosed with the frozen shoulder, I refused the cortisone injection opting for a less invasive treatment. I had sports massage from a lovely lady called Fay. Despite the fact that I had to travel quite a distance for this, it certainly helped.
When I initially got the ankle pain, I was also trying for Rex with IVF treatment. To help treat the whole body, I had acupuncture and Chinese herbs from another lovely therapist in Dorchester. Again, it was a long journey but totally worth it.
Now, I would like a less time-consuming solution which helps to keep everything in check so I have decided on using a supplement to help support everything.

Collagen formation is important for the normal function of cartilage, however, external factors may have a negative impact on collagen formation. Normally, the cartilage protects the adjacent bones, however, if your cartilage deteriorates your joints lose flexibility. If the bone surfaces touch, it will result in pain and inflammation in the surrounding tissues.
