I DON'T HAVE ARTHRITIS!!!

I do however have mechanical arthralgia. Apparently it has something to do with hyper-mobility syndrome.

Basically, because I was flexible as a kid my muscles around my joints formed differently and so when I’m getting older and less flexible the tension manifests as arthritis-like pain in the joints.

Good news, it’s not arthritis and my joints won’t deteriorate.

Bad news, there’s no fixing this. Just management of the pain when it’s present.

So that’s the start of my day. Time to have a coffee, take one of the pills the dr prescribed and go home to shower and get ready for work later today.
