I used to get out of bed in terrible pain. I sometimes could hardly walk until I would take my Collagen UC-II capsule. Then I also started taking Magnesium and a potassium tablet once a day and that helped also. I still had some discomfort when I got up and then started having heart palpitations. Doing some research for those I read that too much thyroid medication like Synthroid or Levothyroxine could cause palpitations and I realized my Dr. had increased my dose several months before. I decided to skip a couple of doses and the first night I didn't take it I woke up pain free. Later my blood work showed I was over-dosed on the Levothyroxine. I am off of it for a while until another lab is done and am still pain free.
