[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone on this great forum for the helpful replies. I

sent an email to Koen DeSmet about the problem and I'm sure he'll

respond promptly as he always does. He'll probably want me to get an

x-ray to him. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks again.

Hi Maureen,

Actually I don't think it has a time limit on it......... Many of my scars

are over 35 years old and with my new found enthusiam for exercise many are

placing objections to being stretched and pulled off places they have sat

for ages.......... and hate to think what role the scar tissue around the

inside of my left joint plays in the various patches of soreness I get at

times.........
