Who Here Has Arthritis?

[AkHockey10]

ok..so when we stopped for a break from riding yesterday..one of the dudes in our party said that he needed a bar riser and his throttle needed to be positioned better and then he made a comment "Wonder how many (older/young) riders out there have arthritis in there thumbs and hands from squeezing the trigger!"

So.. that comment started a pretty good convo in our group..

so, i ask: How many riders out there do have arthritis in your thumb/hands from motorsports???

i know i have arthritis in my ankle but, dont know if its from riding or not. (yeah im only, 19 )

No arthy yet (diagnosed that is) but I did smash my finger with Geico today and everything hurts everyday.....Maybe I have COOTIES~!

I wake up at night with my whole right hand on fire. Could be Arthritis, could be carpal tunnel, for sure it is I'm an old frucker.

I have it in my ankle, I'm only 16. Got it after my surgery, doctor says riding doesn't help it but I said I'll only live to 60 with what I do for fun so who cares?! To me, its worth it to work through the pain!

I fight tendonitis in my wrist on occasion.... Hasn't flared up in a year or so, but when it does it hurts like a mofo. Drums and computers did it to me.

Cramped up

Where do I start? I am 33. I grew up with JRA Juvinille Rumetory (sp) Arthritis. It went into remission for a few years and now its back. I now have a disease called Anclosing Spondolitis that is a rare form that attacks the hips, spine and pelvis. Dr,s refuse to give me a hip replacement because of my age. I will need then both done within the next few years. Anyway, off to slit my wrists. Arthritis is no joke.

We found out this year my wife has RA she is only 24. She hasn't been able to ride this year at all, she just can't get warm enough to loosen up. Pretty crippling stuff.

Got arthritis in my right hand. In the joints of 3 fingers on my right hand.
I think it is more from working than riding, but it is still a pain when you are riding. I honestly don't notice when I ride because I am concentrating on riding. But when we stop, it feels like someone hit my hand with a hammer.

I haven't been to the doctor for a long *** time. Last time I was there (over 8 years ago) he diagnosed me with 2 torn rotator cuffs and started pumping me full of Roids. I've never been back. I have aches and pains like but I just deal with it. So i'm not sure about arthritus

Same here, I had some of it scoped in 99. In 06 I re broke it severly which has just sped up the arthritis even more. If I sit around I can not even walk, I have to stay active to move. Hockey is very difficult for me now, I can not feel my edges anymore.

Severe arthritic here. 3 shots a week for me. :/ Not complaining, my problems could be far worse.

You need to come visit me in rochester MN man.

i got some Arth in my hand, but crushing it with a rope will do that to a fella.

Don't know if it's stress fractures, tendonitis, or arthritis. I horse around jumping just a few times and my arms are on fire from my fingertips to my shoulders. I litteraly want to scream my head off when it happens.

ache

they say I got it in my lower back and neck, my lower back and hips cramp up and just ache, can't bend without lots of pain, tried steroid shots but that doesn't work for me, I take Dantrium, Celebrex which help and rubdown with Tiger Balm and wrap with ace bandages to seal it in, that helps mostly with the arms/elbows.....still looking for other options, havn't ridden for three weeks cause of it....if you have arm pain there's a good chance it is coming from a problem in the neck
