Subject: RE: BURSITIS ... CANNOT PLAY ... HELP!
Dear Moonbaby,

I have had a little Carpal Tunnell since I started messing around on a computer. Then one day in Feb, all of a sudden, I had a BAD pain in my wrist. My doc said it was Tendonitis, and reccommended a wrist brace. It worked!

I bought them in different types, for each wrist, cause they're helpful for the Carpal Tunnell, too. If you have any tendency toward that, it is important to pay attention to how your wrists are bending when you sleep. I was sleeping in the braces until I worked out a position where my wrists would stay straight. I've made it so much of a habit, I think my sleeping mind now works on keeping them straight, too.

I also have arthritis and torn cartilage in my knee. Glucosamine chondroitin really helped when that was giving me some pain.

Bursitis is an inflammation. I've had that in my knee too-it swells like there's a little sac of water in there. Inflammations are helped by drugs in the aspirin family, like Ibuprofen, because they're anti-inflammatory.

I sure hope you're feeling better soon.

Love,

Marymac
