Ladies, would glucosimine help I wonder? I've not tried, yet notice an abundance in the vitamin section and have wondered how effective or not? I've had many a shin splints from marching/running, yet I've not done either for nearly a decade. I know how painful foot injuries are, and, at least for me, more of an inconvenience the older I become! I don't like to be held back and injuries take longer to heal, too.
