A few years ago I injured an elbow. The Dr. took an x-ray and showed me all this bright white areas around the joints-She said I would be dealing with arthritis in about 20 years. Well, this weekend I woke up in great pain. Both hands swollen and every joint hurting (but the hands were swollen like an allergic reaction-in other words all over, not just at the joints). One hip hurt badly and I had limited mobility in my arms because of the pain I would get in my joints if I put pressure on anything. The bottom line is that I suppose the Dr. cant tell time or could diving be speeding up the process?
Of course, I am only assuming right now that it is arthritis given the family history and the conversations with the Dr. in the past. I am wondering if diving is contributing to this problem.
