I've the biggest weekend of the year coming up. I AM going to ride my mountain bike tomorrow. Twice, before and after lunch. I AM going to ride it again on Saturday. AND hike. I AM going to have a great time volunteering for 12 hours on Sunday at a great mountain bike event.

So. Cease. And. Desist. I suppose I can't complain since you don't flare often, and Uncle Art has settled in my palm rather than my fingers...but still. We will both be much happier if you will settle down just a little more, and thank you for subsiding so much in the past few days. Thank you, just a little more please?

Besides, whoever heard of having arthritis in the PALM anyway? Guess I am just strange all-around
I'm sorry you're hurting. Do you think it could be a nerve issue, e.g., carpal tunnel? My palms still hurt from my days on the Moots, and I'm pretty sure it's all nerve related. There are some stretches you can do that can help a bit. For instance, hold your arm out in front with your palm face out and your fingers pointed up. With your other hand, gently stretch your fingers back toward you and hold. You should feel the stretch at the base of your hand/top of your wrist.
