      @Matt - i have the arthritis in my right foot, but became aware of it when i took the x-ray after breaking a bone in it. it's manageable once you stop thinking about it. walking on tips of my toes helps, not only for the sake of sneaking on someone. fell from bike, broke a hip 7 years ago and of course x-ray shown that there's arthritis in the hip as well. last week i broke a finger on my right hand, slamming it with car door. no arthritis this time! there's always hope for good news 🙂

        I wish you had said "possibly", then at last I could have countered with a self-deprecating "probably". Given the old fucker some dignity......

              @Matt I feel your pain. I broke a toe back in the 90’s and it’s started giving me hell the past few years. Toes are pretty important…not for 66 or 69 but in general…they sure help getting around.

                Dignity is the first thing to go.

                              @T4920 I’m 43 and never had an issue untill a couple of years ago
                              I put it down to getting older but it still makes no sense that moving a sofa or concrete dining table as I did on the weekend but picked a pen up off the floor today at work and almost couldn’t stand afterwards

                                @Brian it's getting there that my problem, then I'll concede, and bend my knees to almighty cracks 😆

                                Same though, I do rock climbing at a decent level, can run a half marathon at a moments notice, but that damn pen on the floor...

                                I should really take up yoga

                                  I feel all this pain with you guys.

                                  @Nik no not gout. The cortisone seems to be settling in nicely. I found a great deal on a pair of Hoka Gaviota 4 on eBay which provide the forefoot rocker I’ll need for my toe and also the stability I’ll need for my over pronation.

                                  @Tago-Mago thank you. I assume this youthful persona is mostly a byproduct of high levels of immaturity and petulance. Which I’m ok with

                                  I’ve found momentum is key. I can run all day long, the stopping is when it gets ugly.
