[eggsarascal]

Anyone know much about it? The doctor tells me I've got it in my hands/fingers, if you've got it what do you use to relive the pain, apart from beer,pot and painkillers?

Dont know much about it but had a problem going on in the top of my left arm for near on 12 mth know, been docs and been arsed about in there for 4 mths and then got refared to the MSK team (muscular and skeletal team) since then things have really been addressed, had my first app on 13th dec then got a app for a MRI scan on the 8th Jan, and got the results on 31st Jan, not good but it is how it is, partly detatched tendon, badly torn muscle, other tendons showing signs of tendonitis and just to top it off arthritis in my shoulder joint F - - - - - - G great, was told the tendon and muscle damage can possibly be sorted with some light physio and this may help the tendonitis as well but not the arthritis, so thats something to look forward to as the years tick by,,,

Cheered me up no end, my knuckles are swollen twice the normal size, the other hand isn't much better.

Try rubbing nettles on your knuckles. Burny but it's said to work, ancient remedy. Or bee stings, if you can get em. They have a long history of being a miracle treatment for arthritis.

I think its called getting older, and most will relate to what we have done in the past and how we looked after ourselves when younger, i for one was a billy bunt never listened to any of the older guys i worked with on site and was told dozens of times working in the rain day in day out piss wet through was no good to any one and i would pay for it later on in life 🤒 and here i am

Cheered me up again, don't go down the hole, Egg, said a older and wiser man than me.

Bee stings do relieve the pain for up to a week but only because you get a weeks worth all at once!
