That sucks Bob. My Grandmother and her sister both had it. I wish I know what to tell you. Hopefully it is slow to develop. There is a lot of information out there, so do your research and find the best doctor you can.

I feel your...never mind. Not Rheumatoid but degenerative arthritis in my right hip. It causes some (sharp) pain now and then at a stop when I and have to lift my foot back up on the foot peg. Very uncomfortable at times. I try to keep my foot on the peg so as to not move it. Medication helps.
When it flares up I sometimes ease my foot back up by standing up with my good left leg to gain height so I don't have to lift the right so much. This helps.

Hey weymouth, Don`t let it worry ya, :empathy: I got it in the left knee from an old motorbike injury. (snapped off a bit of knuckle behind the knee - didn`t really hurt till the missus kicked me in bed that night for racing my brother-in-law when I was supposed to be helping him build my house) - now got it in the shoulders, back and fingers (not cause she put up a helluva fight :diablo:) - but due to genetics (they tell me).
Anyhow I discovered the Royal Adelaide hospital had an Arthritus research dept (They have since renamed it the preventative health dept) and they fixed it. - Don`t even have the slightest ache anywhere :yahoo:- (1000klms in the saddle no prob). The secret lies in fish oil. - No I don`t mean those useless plastic capsuls with a bit in it. It`s to do with Quantity, Quality and how you take it.(that reminds me :scratch_one-s_head: - We got a 40th anniversary in October -I digress) I got a lot of mates on to it and it works for them too. (not all that expensive either)- Fish Oil that is. :good: Doug
did you try............... (http://www.bewellbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/blueberries-300x293.jpg) and :drinks:
Cherry extract has also been proven to be good for that. But Glucocomine(spelling) Chondritond(spelling) is good to take. Taking some natural supplements plus a little isolation exercise should keep you fit as a fiddle. :good:
I've got really bad knee's and I take a natural supplement called Leaf Source and I swear by it. Both of my knee"s need to be replaced, but the Dr. won"t do them until I retire because I am a truck driver and haul logs for a living. Getting back to the supplement, I started out by taking 4 a day 2morning and 2 at suppertime for the first two weeks and then 1morning and 1 suppertime after that. I found the difference almost amazing. I don"t know if you can get this in the states, but I think most health stores carry it. Good luck with your knee'. Big R :yahoo: :good:
