Hi Guys,

Haven't written in a while and am in so much pain i can't sleep so thought i'd have a little rant/talk on here. My ankle is soooo painful! Finished work at 12 on my feet since 5:30 and it's just horrid! The movement in my ankle has completely gone and it's fused itself in a position that is only comfy when i wear a heel. The pain goes all up my leg not just in my ankle which is rather annoying and i'm pretty sure i'm developing the family traite of arthritis in my hands as they are becomming extremely painful so any tips for that? I've read on here a lot of people suffer with arthritis in their fingers, my Grandma and Aunty do so it runs in the family sadly! I feel i'm going from 21 to 80 at the moment! Sucks!

It's not just arthritis aswell it's other things in my life! I'm a graduate and work for an events company that are really quiet atm so money is really hard! everything just gets on top of me and i want to scream!!

lol Other than that i do have some job interviews coming up!

Anyway people please post about how your doing! Or if anyone is close to a cure for arthritis and needs a test subject i'm well up for that lol.......i wish!!!!

Much love guys! I'm feeling your pain....literally! xx

    Hi Amie

    Poor you :sad: I hope you have seen someone about teh ankle like a podiatrist or something?? :shock: I shouldnt have thought being on your feet that long is such a brilliant idea, but l expect you are glad to have work theses days.

    My bro works at a casino (big one in coventry) and they have lots of events so I get your job a teeny weeny bit as I (have to)listen to him :lol: The upside is he saw take that and pink and allsorts free :grin:

    I have no miracle cures for you today and wish I did have.

    Arthritis in the hands may well run in teh family, but these days there is more can be done to protect them. I've woken up with a sore bunion :shock: How'dthat happen? I've been asleep!!

    Love and take care

    Toni xx

    right remember stress makes things worse so when you can chill what ever helps you relax walking by sea read good book chill in the bath what ever works for you. get ankle seen to do not leave it soak hands in warm water to get rid of stiffness or wheat bags if swelling use ice wraped in towel look at exercises for hands and feet(on here) they do help takes few weeks but worth it good luck val
