Arthritis...

After posting yesterday about "tension" in my hand and it possibly being arthritis, my body ended up telling me it was arthritis by the way everything started to hurt by days end.

My right hand is still the worst and my spine hurts something awful. We stopped to buy Tylenol Arthritis and that seems to help a little bit.

Went searching for "Arthritis pain" on the web and found this...

The most common symptom of osteoarthritis in any joint is pain that worsens during activity and gets better during rest. As the disease advances, the pain may occur even when the joint is at rest.

Pain is generally described as aching, stiffness, and loss of mobility.

The pain may behave like a roller coaster, with bad spells followed by periods of relative relief.

Pain seems to increase in humid weather. (not in my case, not this time)

Some people experience muscle spasm and contractions in the tendons.

What made me feel a little better was the last line...Muscle spasm and contractions in the tendons. Since that is where most of my discomfort is, in my hands the last few days and my fingers reacting (twitching) on their own from time to time made me a little nervous.

So...this is just a flare up again. They are infrequent but seems yesterday's drop in temperature triggered it the most. I will have to monitor it from here and see how this winter shapes up.

It's always something.

Be Well.
