I have arthritis in my hands and as a lifelong professional pianist am keeping them exercised and trying to prevent them getting worse (diet, turmeric, etc). Can still play okay - for now. I'm late seventies. However, although mostly painfree, I have hugely swollen, bony elbows which seemed to have crept up on me. It has…
Its weird. I am off painkillers, but when I go to bed my elbows stiffen up and become painful to move, in fact its so hard to move them they nearly become locked. Its a new symptom while every other joint is perfectly happy and strength has come back. Knees ok. Ankles ok. Shoulders a bit stiff. Hands a bit stiff. What is…
