sorry yes i was asking you a question.

I try to remember that i ve been socializing with lots of people from age 0 to 90's who knows over 100. lol. I dont recall if they were telling me how bad or hurt their fingers or wrists were yet they are ASL users all their lives. :hmm:

Im an asl user. I dont have any pain with fingers, wrists or arms yet. BUT i have arthitis in my both shoulders and knees from injury sports. BUT not my hands. Im in 40s. just wonder.
 
Interesting. I wonder if there is any link between arthritis and ASL? I am guessing that there isn't, since there is not really any impact and pressure involved in signing, yanno? But I don't know much about the physical causes of arthritis. I thought genetics were the biggest factor in arthritis?
 
stranger on something odd myself I investiage it business on confidental!

That's a bummer, for sure...my family has arthritis problems, but I do not *knock on wood*...(so far)...since I retired and stopped using my hands so much, the pain just went away....but, yes, I've seen some older deafies with arthritis in their fingers. Know it's a painful ailment for them whenever they try to sign....
 
I am thinking about first 48 new episode tonight. Good stuff!! I find black on black crime very sad.

Interesting. I had read that if you want to keep good mobility in your hands and fingers, it's good to keep using them, as in playing the piano, or doing crafts, or (I suppose) even using sign language. The article I read was more in conjunction with knitting and crochet and how to keep doing those crafts even with some pain in the hands. Solutions included various ergonomic solutions (like egg-shaped holders for crochet hooks), massage, heat treatment, etc.

But a big point was made of retaining flexibility by using flexibility.
