sometimes when you have bad inflammation in your joints.. they can fuse together because your body produces extra bone to try and fight off the inflammation by covering it up (with the extra bone formation).. when your body produces extra bone- it can fuse the joints together. and that is what it happening to me-- To slow down this process, my doctor has prescribed me a monthly shot that i have to take forever so i don't end up badly crippled in the future.

I thought they could go in with a scope and clean up joints like that. No? I read so much I get crossed up sometimes. It sounds pretty bad. Any bad effects from the injections? I have had two knee and two thumb joint replacements. I'm healthy but the joints.........................
To be all deep and mystical ... Are we talking mind or body .... What use to be able to contort your body of your mind is unbending? Should not each new idea be greeted like the flower gets the morning sun, .. examined, accepted or discarded? Is not the opening of the mind more important ...
Oh yes of course Ozgirl, I'm so happy with your answer,you're so right,what's the use of contorting your body if mind is unbending....well said my friend!
