OH KATHLEEN, the word I couldn`t remind off, is HUMIDITY !!!!

Am I aging?

Not at all !

Thanks to that word in my part of world, I AM OVER EMPLOYED. It is so good for all the rheumatisms and neuralgies. I really need a little warm weather. Even to make a shorter break.

Have a beautiful weekend!

Hi Branka,

Overemployed?  I should come over there and be a masseuse in your part of the world.

Is massage helpful with joint pain from humidity?  I've found that a positive attitude and maintaining a normal weight is helpful in avoiding knee/ankle pain, or a handful of pills, ha.  But seriously, staying happy and not getting fat is best for not having lower limb pains, and staying active and wearing proper sports-shoes, now I sound like my parents and my grandmother, but it's true!

Kathleen, amongst 100 people, 8 of them even think of need TO HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, and even the 2 of them really take care of it.

Amongst 100 people over 40`s, around 70 % have experienced any of the joint issues. Massage can be helpful.

I`d forward you my own Manuel For Hand-massage, written a several years ago (in English, but in edited English) and there you`d find a many helpful things.

Sometimes we feel the pain within our knee or elbow or hypes or feet ankle, but it is rather caused by the nerves, muscles or ligaments (strings) . Orthopedics perform an operation just like that!!!! I AM WONDERING WHY???!!!! In so many cases, THERE WAS NOT NEED FOR OPERATION!!!! And after having an operation, my clients we much better JUST AFTER MY INTERVENTION. I think docs use to be sometimes too superficial.

So, in a few minutes I`d fwd you my book.

Hugs,

Branka

I had knee surgery at age 12, because of knee-cap was moving over to the side while running.  Then I started having arthritis symptoms at age 40, especially if I gained a few pounds suddenly, which I do sometimes.  My knee tells me if I'm overeating, LOL!  It's easy to gain a few pounds or 2 kilos rapidly without noticing.

Adding more...my grandmother lived to age 94 with a lot of aches and pains, but she was always happy and looked forward to new things every day.
