Thanks all
I intermittently get gluscosamine for him. i remember it for a few weeks, then forget :P
The good effects of the acupuncture seems to be fading. I can see his movements getting stiff again and his back is all tensed

Still, she did say he'd need it every week for a month before droppng to as and when needed. He's still in a better mood than he was a few days ago though; so obviously not as uncomfortable as he was then.
@ UT: yeah, it's not always that clear when they're in pain. Unless it's something very dramatic or a sudden pain, Pil really doesn't let on. I only know by his overall mood.
