Thanks.  I took grape seed extract for some time and have dropped it as
it didn't seem to do all that much for this sort of pain. The
glucosamine and chondroitin seem to do more.
Incidently, I used the cream made from peppers on the right leg, good
old Bengay on the left.  The right leg, after only three days of light
application of the stuff, hurt like crazy at night. I called the
doctor's office back and told them, and the nurse said to just use the
Bengay.  I will try that for another week.
I do know for certain now that the pain in my legs is intensified by
something I am allergic to.  Boy is it ever!  The difference in the pain
level in the two legs is marked.
I will just have to wait now until my system gets rid of the pepper
extract entirely before I find out if the Bengay is going to help the
other leg also.
