[CW] Fake or Real? MGY

[Richard Knoppow]

    My arthritis comes and goes. I can't figure out what its 
related to, doesn't seem to be the weather. I sometimes get 
excruciating pain in one or two hand joints. Lasts maybe a month 
and then goes away. When I had carpal tunnel release surgery on 
my left hand it seemed to have helped a lot. I still get painful 
joints but the general flexibility is much better. I will have it 
done on the right hand soon because I am beginning to have 
trouble typing. I don't think I have any tumeric but its easy to 
find at the grocery and, of course, have black pepper. Worth a try.
     Oh, yes, clicking joints. I have what is called "trigger 
finger" where the finger moves suddenly and clicks or pops. hand 
surgeon explained what this is about and said he could fix it by 
sticking a fine needle up the shafts of the connective tissue. I 
never had it done because, like the arthritis, the trigger finger 
went away by itself. This also comes and goes, usually in the 
same joints each time. Have it for perhaps a month and then it 
just goes. I have come to the conclusion that doctors really have 
no idea what causes any of this stuff.
    When I was young I used to wonder why old people talked about 
their health so much, now I know.
