Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 During the snow storm, I shoveled my long and wide driveway three times!!! I never got out of breath and never felt any muscle strain-- all that exercising pays off, guys!!! BUT the next day, my hands looked like I had walnuts under the skin instead of knuckles and my fingers were all twisted. If it is not one thing it's another. Now I have arthritis in my hands--really bad in the right hand. Maybe I should get obese again? I never had arthritis when I was MO--maybe being obese is a natural protection? Just kidding!! But I wonder, if with my malabsorption issues (like all the other distal RNY patients) I might have a nutritional issue that is contributing to this arthritis thing in my hands. Maybe, it is because I have celebrated 21 anniversaries of my 39th birthday and it is just progression of time. Or maybe it is a delayed result of being thwacked by the Sisters across the knuckles when I was a grade school kid in parochial school--that's it! I should sue the Church for arthritis and Burger King and Dunkin Donuts for being obese. Has anybody else experienced a condition like this? The arthritic hands, I mean--I know none of you guys are obese. (LOL) I have been prescribed Vioxx, which helps quite a bit, but not 100%. Anyone take anything better than that?
