My doctor told me to get a tube of 'Joint Flex' at the drugstore. It does provide some relief.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319195721919876091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062608.post-80916096213807025802008-02-21T17:53:00.000-08:002008-02-21T17:53:00.000-08:00I have been diagnosed with arthritis in my right k...I have been diagnosed with arthritis in my right knee and it probably came from playing racquetball. I don't recall any of my aunts having arthritis but my Grandmother had arthritis in her knees so bad they were locked. She rocked back and forth in order to walk. I have a faint recollection of Marty's Mother having arthritis.<BR/><BR/>Pat's hands have both osteo and rhuemetoid and her hands are begining to look like her Mother's hands. Of course, you do not share in her gene pool.Marcelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873926169538493967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7062608.post-85817426637325125892008-02-21T07:26:00.000-08:002008-02-21T07:26:00.000-08:00I recall my father complaining occasionally about ...I recall my father complaining occasionally about arthritic pain when the weather was cold and rainy. I was very young so I don't know any details. Maybe Marcel, Bernie or Monica can provide some details.<BR/>I have only minor arthritis in my neck. My doctor found it in a routine x-ray about 5 years ago. That's when I noticed I can turn my head left farther than I can turn my head right. Don't know if it is osteo or rheumatoid. I hope this helps you.John Beauregardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16923339453879187524noreply@blogger.com
