Yes, I am taking Lipitor and valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide combined. For the last month I have been having Sciatic in my back and down my left leg. I have had lazer treatments, decompression treatments and about two weeks ago a cordizone shot in my hip. I am feeling slightly better and can now walk, but having problems in my knee joint, prolly from a fall last year, when it was bruised badly. I would like to know if I can take the glucosamine chondroitin?
