  1. Working on the allotment or gardening really sets off the arthritis in my thumbs.
    But I find it astonishing how quickly I get relief by using a simple thumb splint on my right hand and cheap wrist supports on each hand.
    The splint makes lots of things very difficult but removing the pain is worth the inconvenience.

  2. I fell down and went BOOM at work yesterday. My fault for rushing around (caught my foot in a door stop) but at my age you don't bounce at all! You go splat.

    Got an X-ray of my wrist - thankfully not broken. But my head, elbow, hip and knee are pretty banged up.

    The X-ray confirmed what I knew: severe arthritis in my thumb joint. Like, there's no joint left.

    I think my near constant knitting is keeping the motion high and the pain at bay.

    For now.

  6. Potentially good news for arthritis sufferers. A study on mice found that the loss of cartilage points to a protein called 15-PGDH. The protein becomes more abundant as people age and disrupts healing. But old mice experienced knee cartilage growth with the introduction of a 15-PGDH inhibitor. Read about it from @ScienceAlert:

  7. One thing I did on today's bike ride was to try a wrist support to see if it helped with the arthritis pain in my thumb and carpal bones after cycling. (It's the hand position on dropped bars, plus weight on the hands)

    I think that I can say that it's been a success - the pain levels are about the same as a non-cycling day. After last week's ride I was in agony.

    I can barely walk at all when it's raining. #Arthritis makes every slight movement into excruciatingly painful.
    Best I can hope for a a slow crawl across the living room.

  9. Researchers have developed the first therapy for osteoarthritis that, in tests with mice, reverses the disease and regenerates cartilage and bone in weeks.

  10. Massive pain in my left shoulder and arm woke me from my siesta. I've lived for 30+ years with constant pain, manage it with drugs and willpower, fuck it and get on with it. But every now and then it explodes like a day-changing kick in the balls. Drugs. Too late but still necked them. Lying here in massive fucking bastard pain.

  14. Once or twice a year, I have a good sleep that lasts several hours in one glorious stretch. Last night was it, midnight to 9am with only one brief toilet trip and straight back from there into the land of nod. Bloody marvellous. I'm slow getting started today, but have no complaint about that.

  15. Had to recover one of the recycling wheelie bins as it decided to take a trip down the garden and leave the other two behind.
    Not an easy task when it's difficult to walk.

  16. Recommendations for jar openers for those with #arthritis or other diminished hand grip issues? Mostly for use by a guy in his 70s.

    NO AMAZON links please. US shipping

    Thanks! for the boosts and responses.

    I have a number of assistive aid sites bookmarked. Fortunately I looked at reviews for one before ordering it as they mostly negative citing major decline in quality in the current model.

    Good advice on the OT. I'll check with the OT/PT I went to post wrist fracture.

  17. Seeing the x-rays of my shoulder was interesting.
    I've had issues for many years, including flare ups of Frozen Shoulder starting in my late 30s, but previous GPs never referred me. Just paracetamol dear.
    Then tipping over my previous road scooter some years ago, on yet another dodgy dropped kerb, I had an x-ray. The emergency doc thought Id broken it but ortho said no, that's arthritic damage. So it finally went on my record.
    Today I could see more damage in the joint. The ball part is a curved wavy line instead of an arc.

    Not surprised, and glad it isn't broken, but evidence for GPs is good.

  18. So ... this is aging ... braces on both my wrists and my elbow to control the pain from ... yes, the weather.

  19. Psychedelics like psilocybin, LSD helps against chronic pain shows a study from the university of Maastricht.

    ————

    We analysed data related to five conditions selected based on diagnostic homogeneity within each of them: fibromyalgia, arthritis, migraine, tension-type headache and sciatica.
    RESULTS: Except for sciatica, volunteers reported that psychedelics led to better pain relief compared to conventional medication in all examined conditions. More specifically, full doses performed better than conventional medication.

  20. #SnakeGaiters have been used & fit me. 🤗

    Not exactly hand #arthritis friendly, with my sausage fingers taking about 5 minutes to attach the gaiters to each leg.

    Probably a 1 minute job if you are arthritis free.

    I’m wearing my old paintball boots in the photos - soft toed - I’ll need to dig out my old metal toed boots for full protection.
