Also try MSM.  My right shoulder was so bad that I couldn't even lift my 
arm to hang a t-shirt in the closet.  I tried glucosamine and 
condroitin, too, but they didn't work for me.  The MSM did solve my 
problem..  They have combinations of all 3 which might be worth a try.  
Cheap at WalMart.  I am totally pain free in that shoulder now.  It does 
take awhile, but better than surgery if it works for you.
