The CRAZY thing is when I went for MRI because of the pain, they said I had arthritis (osteo) on my spine and ribs.

I NEVER felt a wince of pain from it. The pain happened after the incidents.

My mother HAD osteoarthritis so bad she had to get knee replacement surgery at age 82. She’s now 84 and she would be confined to a wheelchair by now if not for the surgery.

Do the docs give you any treatment? I am sorry that you suffer.

“Do the docs give you any treatment? I am sorry that you suffer.”

I take pain killers for it.

They rotate me me through several pain killers to keep them from becoming ineffective.

The doctors say I can do anything I want to do provided I can put up with the pain.

I broke the right ankle hiking years ago which is the source of the problem in the right foot. The left foot was stepped on by rather large cow and broken through the arch when I was 17.

Luckily I live in the tropics about 4 miles from the beach so I can do some snorkeling for exercise.

But, my triathlon days are definitely over at this point.
