VERY HEALTHY) THIS IS MY 10TH YR THAT I HAVE WALKED EVERY DAY AND AM INTEDNDED TO CONTINUE AS MY HEALTH IS EXCELLENT. I DO NOT WANT TO STOP JUST FOR A PAIN AND AM WORRIED AS IT IS LASTING AFTER THE WALK LIKE IT DID NOT USE TO.

Hello,
I suggest that you try the supplement glucosamine at 1500 mg daily. It is not a pain pill but can help with joint pain if taken consistently for 1-2 months. It has helped many people continue to be active.
