A physical therapist who is working on my shoulders for increased range of motion commented on all the clicking noises in my shoulder joints. The original injury was many years ago and was never well-rehabilitated. Reduced inflammation with RPD has let me turn my attention to getting full use of my shoulders again, hence the return to physical therapy.
The PT's casual suggestion was that I try glucosamine with chondroitin supplement. I looked these up in Wikipedia and I get the general idea that glucosamine is present in bone marrow, which I eat regularly, while chondroitin is present in cartilage, which I don't consume regularly.
From a RPD point of view, what are some opinions of taking a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement, or getting these components from animal foods.
P.S. One of the cooked foods that I miss is pho with tendon slices. I miss it almost to the point of craving it. Pho is a bone broth with certain spices that might be classified as "warming" (star anise, cinnamon, clove, peppercorns, ginger). Pho traditionally has rice noodles, but I want it without noodles. I tried to eat tendon raw, but I couldn't even slice it with a knife.
