      I've had knee replacements last year and didn't have any problems being on Atkins and recuperating. As long as you exercise and keep your percentages in ratio, you should be okay.

          I have OA in my Lower Lumbar Region as well as my right hip and my left hand. I have taken Celebrex, Bextra, and most recently Relafen/Skelaxin. I also started taking SAM E this summer. About 2 weeks into induction I was able to stop (for the most part) taking the Relafen and Skelaxin.

          I am a firm believer in SAM E and Atkins. I have had no ill effects only good effect from Atkins.

          I have now started a low impact fitness routine and I am feeling even better. Hopefully in the next few weeks I will start the C25K program.

          Good Luck,

          Julie

                Do yo have access to a swimming pool? No impact on the joints!! I have OA in my knees ...have had 2 knee surgeries. I'm sure I have it in other joints but no diagnosis. I have found now & in the past doing Atkins reduces my joint pain.

                  Give Osteo-Biflex a try. I am a runner and occasionally suffer from hip pain and I find that it really helps.
