I am a runner and my knee is bothering me?
It isn’t my shoes, because I go to a very reliable runners’ store who assesses my stride. I was wondering if drinking glucosamine chondroitin would help? (http://www.supplebodies.com/productquestions.html)
I know it is for arthritis, but I was curious as to whether it may even help my joints now.

Yes, it should help as it is a natural anti inflammatory. I would also recommend alternating heating pad for 20 minutes and then ice pack for 20 minutes. Stay off of it (meaning no running) for about 10 days and you should be good to go after that. If it is still bothering you after 10 days then you need to see a doctor because you might have pulled a ligament.
That is what I use to stop that (and any other joint related)problem(s)
stop running and see a doctor!
MOst anit-inflamatoris will help with a soar knee. For immediate releive simply add heat and the pain will go away. You might also look into a neoprene sleeve for your knee to releave the tension on the joint while you are running and or take a few days off to let teh knee relax. The Assumption with the glucosamine is that it is a endon problem and not a ligament or muscular problem. Run, take the sleeve off, shower, ice the knee, and if the pain continues heat the knee, and if it still continues see a doctor.
