    Hi Elna thanks for replying ,you are right iam amazed that you have all taken the time to talk to me, and iam not alone anymore. I have had a blood test but not had results back yet. I want to wait as long as i can realy before i start taking painkillers. I am a school cleaner so my hands gets quite a lot of exercise so i guess thats a good thing ?.

    Don't forget that exercise doesn't mean hard work, I 'don't do' exercise as such but I try to do as much as I can in the way of household jobs and gardening. Swimming is a pleasure and gets the old endorphins moving around the body.

    Painkillers aren't all about killing pain, they help with inflammation and swelling and dull the pain a touch, you'll still feel it, just not quite so wearing or sharp a feel.

    8) Its a grin, honest!

    Hi I do hope you go back, theirs so many things that can be done to help and explain to you. Doctors, I think they expect us to mind read sometimes! :) Take care, Love Sue

    Hi, when i go for my results i will have to do a questionaire so that iam prepared and wont forget what to ask him. I think they forget that we are not as informed as them (well some of them anyway)
    wish you well, luv sandy

    Hi airwave, so true ! i didn t think about it being hard work v exercise, i will have to watch how much i do. I also didn t think about painkillers being an anti inflamatory as well, so i might start taking some at night, they may help me sleep better.
