Guest guest Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yepm this is sarc. It loves the joints-- all of them, but feet, ankles and hands and wrists especially. It was the joint muscle pain that was my biggest challenge, and it's the MSM that keeps me functioning. If you are already taking the MSM-- you may want to increase the dose. Also, if you continue to have problems, get it checked out, it could be that you ended up with a stress fracture from all the steriods. Can you use ice to reduce the inflammation? That will help also. Fluids are also so very important-- and we all end up with summertime issues of hydration-- and it is going to go the extremities and put the fluid there so that your body will have it when it needs it. Take care, Tracie question have any of you had the sarc attack your joints? I just woke up one morning and my ankel is huge and the bone inside hurts soo bad. just the inside of my left foot I cant stand to walk on it.
