Arthritis and Me

Arthritis typically hasn't bothered me much in the past.   I have ankle injuries from playing football and the resulting arthritis has been present for 20+ years, but hasn't hampered me from any activities.  A few years ago, my right knee starting bothering me and it turned out to be arthritis due to a torn meniscus when from playing rugby.   Both the ankle and knee have been treated by a orthopedic specialist.

About a few months ago, the joint pain starting to bother my hands more.  I don't know whether it is because of arthritis or medication I am taking for my heart.   I talked to my primary care doctor about  my hands and he said the main treatment was to relieve the pain with acetaminophen if needed.   Not much else can be done.

We'll see how that works.
