thats the point. ALL she told me was that I had a break that healed poorly. Done deal. She never told me to avoid doing anything with that arm. Never told me that I could expect it to get worse. Never told me anything about it. I didnt even know what DJD was until a few months ago.
Severe Osteoarthritis is one of the things I have. Ive tested negative for the RF but am HLA-B27 positive. Lucky me, right? Im currently suspected of having psoriatic arthritis as well. But the OA was visible in the 2011 films.
You are the first person Ive encountered that has it like I do in the elbows. I didnt mention in the OP that I have shoulder pain as well. And since I have OA in the elbows and wrists, I pretty damn sure its the thing thats getting my shoulder too.
I really, really, really, feel for you. I know how much pain you must be in. My threshold is high (obviously) but when you shoot up out of a dead sleep because the blanket moved slightly under your arm, its a kind of pain you just can't get used to. Sometimes I think it would be easier not to have the arm at all. Sounds crazy to most people, but I bet you know what I mean.
