    Default Knees? Joints?

    I recall someone posting a product they used on their knees or for their knees that helped them look less beat up.

    What was that product?

    Also, what does everyone use for joints, if you use anything?

    arnica-- though personally for me it didn't work.

    soaking in epsom salt baths (1 cup to hot water...can also add apple cider vinegar or 1 cup non-aluminum baking soda IN ADDITION TO epsom salts) helps both marks and soreness-- (it's the magnesium)

    MSM/Glucosamine Condroitan pills help me personally

    MSM is an anti-inflammatory. I also have some MSM aloe muscle rub that rocks my socks. I don't tend to take traditional aleve, tylenol, aspirin stuff-- I just don't buy it. I did really notice the MSM helped me out a lot and that was before I knew it was an anti-inflammatory so it wasn't a placebo.

    also-- drink powders that have potassium (help prevent muscle cramps and help not let the muscles be sore)

    and don't forget lots of water to flush out the lymph nodes, and self massage (or massage from the guy if you're lucky) to work out the lactic acid crap that builds up.

    you might also consider taking a hot bath, washing off with cool water (after the first couple of times you try this it actually starts to feel good), and alternating between hot and cold.

    increases circulation really really well. and if you're blood is circulating, then the crap is getting cleaned up quicker.

    Did you take tablets or use rub? If you use rub you have to apply it frequently to get results. I put some on every time I go to the dressing room.
    Bromelain tablets will also reduce bruising and swelling. I took that stuff after my nose job and I barely bruised at all. No black eyes or anything.

    Odd, arnica cream gets rid of my bruises in a day or so. I swear by it. It also helps my joints feel better. But I think it effects everyone differently.
