Today I am having one of those days with a lot of pains.  I have been doing a lot of puttering around the last few days, and now I am paying for it.  Three toes on my right foot are swollen and painful – including one that has not hurt before.  The big toe of my left foot hurts also.

Then there is my left knee, and my back.  It usually does not all hurt at the same time, but every now and then, it all comes together.  Like today.  I don’t know what causes it, but it seems to happen every few weeks.

I have been tested for arthritis markers, and I have none.  But I have plenty of joint issues.  There are problems in both shoulders, and my left elbow… my left thumb, and two fingers on my left hand also have pains.  At least I am right handed!  And I can still type!!

I try to keep perspective about it… there is not a lot I can do to make the pain go away, so I have to live with it.  I will try to get things done.  It’s just what it is… nothing more.

Things don’t get better by wishing.  So I will wait it out, and change my plans for the next couple of days.  It will be okay.
