Hi everyone.
I've been having some severe pain in my joints lately. I don't know whether it is arthritis per se or something else. I have also noticed several new synovial cysts around the joints in my fingers and hands. I understand that this can occur when synovial fluid leaks. I wonder whether this is just normal aging or whether it might be a side effect of medicines. Have any of you experienced this problem, especially an increase in the number of synovial cysts?
Thanks for your help.
Bekka

No. . .but I'll tell you what they used to do for a synovial cyst in New Hampshire in the old days, according to my mother: Whack it with a bible.
Glad to be of help,
Zo

************************************************That brings to mind something Woody Allen once said back in his good old stand-up comic days. . .He said that some deranged religious fanatic hurled a Gideon Bible at his heart, and that Bible would have killed him if it hadn't been for the trusty bullet he always kept in his breast pocket.
