RSI Update

Simon on 2002-04-17T10:02:02

I didn't see the doc (yet, although I need to go get myself checked up for other reasons) but I'm now pretty sure that whatever it was, it wasn't RSI. My hands and wrists are now more or less fine, but last night, my back and knees were in a bit of pain. (They're OK now.) So I think it's just buggy joints. I need oiling. Mother suggested some glucosa-something or other which is apparently good for the job.

MSM and Glucosamine

That's what my (hippy) doc recommended for my back. MSM provides sulphur and Glucosamine "stimulates the manufacture of substances needed for joint repair". As I'm too damn slack to take them, I have no idea whether they're any good. But my osteopath also said he was relying on them to prevent his hands from clapping out within ten years.
