What Do Your Hands Say About You?

February 24th, 2010

Mine have scars and freckles from working in the garden too often without gloves. I have callouses on my fingertips from years of strumming the guitar. The blood veins are dark and raised. The nails are in need of a manicure. My knuckles are beginning to show signs of arthritis. But they have felt the fevers of sick children, touched a baby’s cheek and have shaken the hands of a couple of Presidents and they are me. How do you feel about your hands?:

Can Anything Be Done About Knee Arthritis For An Athletic Teenager?

January 18th, 2010

So, my 17 year old daughter, who has been playing basketball for 10 years. She is 6′1″ and about 200 lbs. She’s been having problems with her knees swelling and a lot of pain. Well, I took her up to U of M to see an orthopedic surgeon who requested an MRI for her knees. The next day she called to say that my daughter has arthritis and that nothing could be done about it. Can this be true? She really wants to continue playing basketball when she goes to college, but the pain is getting worse. Does anyone have any suggestions to help out an athlete?
