Glucosamine has no evidence for Treatment of joint pains effectively.
Literature says it's not more than Placebo.
Rather you can try home made bone broth which gives vital amino Acids and Collagen peptide, Collagen peptide is more helpful in soothing joint pain.
MSM may give some relief in mild pain.
Curcumin is proven to be more effective in pain relief.
Astaxanthin is more effective.
Omega 3 fatty acids more than 1000 mg a day is more effective.

This doesn't cure the disease. May delay the pathology. You have to do physiotherapy. Treatment depends on clinical examination and x rays.

I have not seen your MRI . If a cartilage charting shows there is a defect on the cartilage then an arthroscopy is better to treat that defect. Depending on the size of the defect the treatment is biased. The pain is only immediate. If a definite defect is there then it needs to be treated otherwise will lead to early osteoarthritis

Hello, Thanks for the query.
It is better if you give details of Thyroid hormone levels as well as TSH and current treatment with dosage. That will give a clear idea about what is the situation. As regards taking Glucosamine and chondriotin for arthritis related pain, these drugs are really not much effective. They are supposed to be helping in restoring cartilage in the joints, which is a doubtful action. It is better to consult an orthopedician for the same issue. Thanks.
