Simply given our general age profile on FWW there must be more than just me that is having to adapt to life with the big A ...Arthritis.
I saw a presentation by this Dr Vijay Vad the other day and have been wondering if any of you have read this book but even more important do any of you have any specific proven tips to improve living with the big A. http://www.amazon.com/Arthritis-Rx-Cutting-Edge-Program-Pain-Free/dp/1592402747
My youth and two motorcycle accidents are really catching up with me and affecting the quality of my life. Ever since I went away 3 months back and went fly fishing in a river in NY state, my knee has been hurting like crazy making for a pretty irritable day each day. Went for MRI the other day (yeah the negatives of state provided health I had to wait 3 months for an appointment) and found out I have chips of cartilage floating around the joint. Already had one of those clean outs (arthroscopy) on the same joint and these days they saying they possibly do more harm than good. Currently waiting for an appointment with a specialist to check out the MRi. I aint one for taking pain relievers so I am looking into alternative ways of dealing with this, its not going anywhere anytime soon.
So anyone have any home style tips. When it gets to food and what to eat and not, I have felt the effects of red meat and its amazing how quickly it puts you off eating it, same with a glass of wine, but chip away at all these things and man I might as well become vegan and if that has to happen I rather go in a box.
So what's your way of dealing with this nuisance. I certainly don't wish to be sitting all the time and currently once I am standing I don't wish to sit because of the transition pain both ways.
