Hi,
Are you sure the pain in your chest etc is not related to your heart.
Some RA and PA medication cause angina. 

He's not being treated for these conditions AFAIK

I get repeated angina attacks
and have had that many heart tests and have past with flying colours
but.....the specialists say it is due to the medication.
Can't help you with the chondroitin/glucosamine as I had no side
affects with it - actually I had no affects at all but they were
helpful for my husband.

Yeah, the glucosamine+chondroitin is not responsible for what he's experiencing (a shellfish allergy would be much worse, and manifest itself differently). Taking a sufficient dose long term is sometimes difficult, because finding what a 'sufficient dose' is for each individual can sometimes take quite a length of time.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
