I know that patdock has a post regarding arthritis, but could anyone tell me what the symptoms are like when it first starts?
I know that I'll end up going to the docs anyway ... but I have a persistant ache in my left hip. Lying down on the sofa makes it worse, but not lying in bed. I cycle now and again, and it doesn't hurt too much afterwards. Even sitting at the computer (at home and at work) makes it ache, and sitting at the dining room table for too long ditto.
I'm only 40 for God's sake!!! Does copious amounts of booze help?
