Heading out later today after work. Had some crappy news yesterday. I have been experiencing some discomfort in my fingers for a few months and thought that it might be time to get things checked out by a medical professional. Having difficulties doing the simple tasks. Just a side note, I did diagnose my ailments on the internet. Anyway, I have osteorthritis. Wait, isn't that for old dudes! Guess not, or maybe I am an old dude. Doc came up with some treatment but none that I cared for. I don't care to take medications..... my brother is even a pharmicist. I did some additional reading on the subject and found that some people get results from staying away from certain foods. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are also some possiblilties for relief. Most medical personel tell you 'no' with the supplements...... I think that they have some stock in the drug companies. Luckily it is just in my fingers and isn't present in any other joints. Didn't think that I would be dealing with this at the age of cough, cough, 48.
Ran on the treadmill after work. Set the incline at 5 and just roughed it out. Felt good today and as far as the week is concerned...... a good one overall. Avg pace 8:30 |
