Default Is osteoarthritis and osteoporosis something just women get? - 12-25-2008, 09:15 AM

I am wondering if there is a"best", or most effective supplement that can be obtained over the counter for help with control of the effects that this condition has on the hip and legs? Can men get this disease, and if so, can liquid calcium and glucosemine supplement help? I was trying to find something I could get for my husband that might work. Thanks to all who answer.

Both men and women can be affected by either osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, though women are far more prone to osteoporosis. If you have either osteoarthritis or osteoporosis then you should speak with your physician about all the treatment options available for you.
