Years ago my daughter visited a nutritionist and was put on a number of vitamins and supplements for stomach and back issues. They helped tremendously and she has continued taking them. She feels the difference if she runs out, especially when it comes to her back pain. So recently, when my husband was complained of back pain my daughter suggested a supplement called CollagenII. We purchased the pills, and after joking and complaining about their size, he began to take them.
Every few days we questioned Dad about his progress, and was told no change yet. With life taking over as it does, two weeks went by, and we stopped asking my husband how he was doing. I noticed though that he was limping and questioned him about it. He stated that his leg was bothering him. This leg pain continued and intensified to the point where he was using a heating pad and taking Aleve like candy. He couldn’t sleep and was miserable. I didn’t think twice about the Collagen, but my husband commented that it was the only new factor in his life. He decided to stop taking it, and three days later he was feeling much better. A week later and the leg pain was completely gone. It was unbelievable. We concluded that the Collagen started to loosen up his joints, causing the surrounding muscles to work harder and therefore causing them to cramp. This is solely our suspicion and not based on any medical knowledge or information, but my husband has sworn off of Collagen, and his leg pain has not returned.
