Back to the future

Scorecard(0-10)
Legs:1-2
Shoulders:2-3
Wrists & Thumbs:2-3
Ankles & Toes:0

After a quiescent couple of days since increasing the sulfasalazine dose to 2 x 500Mg daily I seem to have had something of a minor relapse.

What could have caused this? Well yesterday I had a photo shoot lasting about three hours. Lots of twisting and turning, crouching and stretching, and quite a bit of trudging. All with two cameras, including the very heavy Canon 5D, strapped round my neck and a rucksack on my back. My right wrist looks a little puffy today and is mildly uncomfortable. I assume that handling the 5D is the cause. The rucksack explains the shoulders, I guess.

I'm not going to be much of a photographer if I can't lift a camera!

However, onward, ever upward. Hopefully when the sulfasalazine really gets to work I won't notice these strains any more. In the meantime continuing with diclofenac three times daily.
