Aches, Pains, Treaments Cures and Snake oil.

I guarantee this thread will run and run, but here goes in continuance from the VX1 thread where iiiiiiiitick was asking, I suggested Glucosamine and recounted my own issue which is an extremely painful shoulder, restriction of arm movement caused I think by the annual sailors v windsurfer cricket match (yes I bat for both sides ) when my bowling arm just seized and I haven't been able to raise it (my arm) above shoulder height.

Looking at al the internet advice (no I don't like doctors either, why would I? I never listen to anything else anyone tells me why should I think they're any different) it comes up Steroids, the bread knife has pounced on it and we're having big rows (I'd rather die a slow painful death than have those things in me)so I'm about to go the Glucosamine route myself and we'll see, it's been three months now and no real improvement.

Now some of you must have similar ailments, joint damage, muscular aches and pains, lets hear your tales, preferably with a happy ending, I'm having a bad day today, I'd rather not hear stories of incapacity, degradation and decrepitude and all you *young dudes? Watch this, five minutes time? It's you.

*Young means under 60 don't even start with your ooh I'm forty something and I bruised my mangina

What bit of that 'don't even start about your bruised mangina' at 32 or whatever embryonic age you're still at, didn't you get? They do knee replacements now you know, better than wasting money on breast enhancement or what's it called man boob reduction?

Vodka

It's just currently topical at our club given a couple of nurse wives and girlfriends I've nicknamed E.D. nurses and keep pressing them for help to find a cure using me as a subject But in truth my own experience of events such as that have tended to be alcohol induced and these days, don't those little blue tablets sort the problem out anyway?

If we ever were to have such a problem all we need do was windsurf up the Stour or in Sandwich bay, you get a stiffy for hours after that, all the effluent coming from the Pfizer factory...
