[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 154561, member: 2459"] I took another peek at your signature. Degenerative joint disease....hmmmm. Show them THIS: Symptoms of Degenerative Joint Disease Initially there may be joint stiffness, usually lasting more than 15 minutes, and typically following activity of the joint. Later there may be pain on motion of the affected joint, [COLOR="Red"]which is made worse with activity or weight-bearing and relieved by rest[/COLOR]. Typically OA improves with rest and does not remain symptomatic at night time. It is usually better in the morning, and it worsens as the day progresses. There may be limitation of motion of the affected joint, although this is a later finding. Coarse crepitus (a creaking or cracking) may be felt in the joint. There is usually some mild joint swelling and tenderness to touch. The joint may feel warm. A joint that cracks and snaps does not necessarily mean arthritis is present, and many patients are able to make their joints crack without having pain. I would take that to mean that if you stand and do dishes...stand, reach and bend to do laundry, stand, reach, bend to clean....you will HURT. If they can't understand that then they can fend for themselves. Period. [/QUOTE]
