Possibly even get pity  My left thumb has ached in the joints like crazy ever since I got a nasy infection earlier this year when my leopard bit me. I constantly pops out of the socket at the first joint and the second joint feels like it is on fire. I hate getting old.  Any body else? |

| I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right wrist due to playing musical instruments when I was younger. |

What's this about Arminta biting you? While it's true that getting old sucks, I am enjoying the process a great deal. I go to the gym 4-5 times per week. The increased exercise is helping slow the advance of age. I must admit, though that "things" don't work as well as when I was young.  |

| Replacement parts keep setting off metal detecters. Almost everything is stiff. The pharmicist knows you by your first name. |

| I get sinus infections a lot. And when they come I always get this ache right below my right ear and just behind my jaw bone! (Some kind of gland problem maybe?) |

I had those symptoms and finally went to a ear-nose-throat specialist. It was/is TMJ (temporomandibular joint) syndrome. Things are gradually getting better; I have to use a plastic mouthpiece at night, and take a very mild muscle relaxant at bedtime. I also use some butt-kicking NSAID tablets. What was happening, was that the side of my face was so inflamed from the TMJ that it was easy for the germs to get a foothold. Was having sinus infections almost every month. Now haven't had one since -- March! |

I'm 22 and I swear that I have the joints of an 80 year old woman!!!! I hate to climb stairs (up or down) and when I squat I dread standing up again. My knees are aweful! Sometimes they pop out of place and I need to stand still and rub them until they get back in place. This is always unexpected. Sometimes i'll be walking to class and bam! my knees go out. I fall down or stop right in place and people have no idea what's going on. it sucks!  |

my knee joints are not quite that bad but they do have a truck load of gravel in both of them. They don't bother me to much as long as I don't use them excessively  |
