Athritis is basically a painful inflammation of the joints and the affected joints will feel sore and hot from exercise or just sitting still or sleeping on susceptible joints.

 

My troubles were painful right knee during and after walking, very painful right hip while wlking or sitting on my sofa and in bed; my lower spine ached while walking and especially carrying shopping bags and locked solid while I slept and gave me agony when I woke and tried to turn over or get out of bed.  I had had serious callous and corn problems on both feet for about two years.   My fingers were stiff and sore most days and my rings were so tight I wondered if I should have them made bigger.

 

As my symptoms progressed over the last year I was in such pain after shopping trips that I moved home to a flat where the bus dropped me just a few yards fom my door to cut out the uphill walk of the previous flat.

 

Many other people suffer bad pains like I did and like me seriously wonder if it is time to seek physiotherapy,  painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs as a stopgap before knee or hip replacements or spine fusions with all the pain, convalescence and complications.

 

Obviously many ailments can give athritis-like symptoms  and mine may simply be due to becoming allergic to tomato products for some unknown reason.  

I must have eaten at least a ton of tomato either raw or processed over the years.

 

Your athritis pains and joint problems may be due to genuine wear and tear of joints or allergy from some other product.  

 

We have to remember that just a tiny piece of a peanut can trigger a reaction in some people that will kill them in minutes so obviously what we eat does have a very strong effect on us.

 

If you are in athritis-like pains and swellings of joint and spine and the doctor's medication and therapy does not seem to be having any affect then you too may just have a tomato allergy - so just stop eating all tomato products for a week or two and see if your aches, pains and swelling get better or less - you may have a wonderful suprise just as I had.
