do you have it or know someone who does? Yes I can look up the stuff on the internet and my nursing books and get the clinical stuff, want to talk to someone who has it or experienced it. Just below my thumb on my left hand there's a bone before the wrist that most days for about 10 hours a day feels like someone is jabbing an ice pick into it. If I move it the wrong way or go to pick something up the wrong way I've had the pain take me to the floor.

Not sure that's arthritus. May be a "pinched" nerve or somesuch. Arthritus makes joints hurt and moving them sharpens the pain. However, at least in the cases I know, sharp, ice-picky pain is not a feature. Doesn't mean it could never be.No matter where you go, there you are. - Buckaroo Banzai

AAHZ, yours sounds closer to what the old folk I know call "arthritus." Temperature, humidity, the day of the week, the phase of the moon, and so on seem to them to affect ther level of pain and degree of stiffness. I don't envy you your hassles with your hand. Of course, right now I am going through an outbreak of shingles, very painful over a good stretch itself.No matter where you go, there you are. - Buckaroo Banzai

Yes, indeed. You can feel cold long before it gets there. My knee is jacked up.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Ditto Sloww. My knee is more about the rain then the cold though. It always seems to hurt about a day or so before rain. Maybe it's the change in presure. I think my hand is more from playing the piano for 15 years, typing for 30 and now making pies. Maybe the poor thing is just worn out!Welcome to earth, my name is Tia and I'll be your tour guide for this trip.
