Well today I went to the doctors. I got my injection percription for my hay fever and and told her I have sever pain in one elbow and the opposite shoulder.

So she checked me out and gave me the following advice.

I think you need to take LESS exercise. You are overworking your joints. Can you stop exercising for a couple of months!

Ner did I think I would be told that!

Otherwise. Live on ibuprophen!

Take it already. Have been for about 4 months. Helps, but not enough.

well have you tried Ice , and not just in your G n T;)
Actually alcohol seems to increase the inflamatory process so just have the ice !!

I ache all over too just now from lunging Naughty pony. He really pulls away from you. I went to work today and I think I had more pain than my patients ;)
I find that using an ice pack and Voltarol gel help, and when I get really desperate I do acupuncture on myself:eek:

Maybe some bodywork would be a good idea. I like Pilates but stuff like Alexandra Technique, Feldenkrais, Bowen etc might be helpful
