Wild Garlic

This morning started early today left home at 8am off to Colchester General to see Debbie Rogers of the Rheumatology dept,I have been seeing her for a few years and she has helped me with managing pain ,I am told at the moment I do not have Arthritis but I do have wear on all my joints which makes me borderline for OsteoArthritis she told me today,
I am fighting the urge to take tablets and have found with Debbies help that I can overcome the pain by keeping my bones in the right position and that means I have to keep muscle tone at it's best.
Exercise is the key .
And I have proved it first with the Hydro pool at colchester building up my muscle tone you only get 6 goes at that but it showed me it works and it is up to me ,or end up taking endless Tablets .
I decided to fight, part of the reason for doing blips outside walking is very good for you but not on hard ground.grass and sand very good low impact.
I have been experiencing strange tingling in my left arm and hand ,I was bit worried that I might have been having a stroke, I am assured by Debbie this is not so ,I now have to add Angels in the snow just with my arms standing up to strech the nerve from my neck down my arm, my neck is one of my achilles heel my weakness and I must keep it in good order or suffer, with her help I have been pain free with the odd few days here and there where I have not done as I should,I need to use all my joints all the time if I don't move them I go stiff and get pain and need pain Tablets.
sorry to tell you the long saga but it may help someone else out there.

You can sit there and let your body crumble take tablets or you can fight back. :-}
