Stuart Ibuprofen (IBF) inhibits prostaglandin synthesis (sp) which is one of the mechanisms of pain associated with swelling. Some divers will take IBF pre and post dive to reduce the possible tissue swelling typical of long deco dives. Glucosamine works in an entirely different way by enhancing the synthesis of synovial fluid in the joint capsule. therefore it would have no real effect on the post dive swelling seen by some. R ----- Original Message ----- From: <stuart.morrison@sw*.co*.uk*> To: <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 15, 2000 10:45 AM Subject: Joint Damage and Prevention There was a thread a few months ago on the use of ibuprofen as a preventitive measure for damage to the joints. I've been using glucosamine for a (non-diving related) recurring shoulder joint injury and I was wondering if anyone had looked at the effects of glucosamine in a similar manner to ibuprofen. It is reputated to be a beneficial supplement for preventing general wear and tear on the joints and surrounding tissues, does this extend to diving induced stresses?
