    I fell very hard 5 years ago on both hands which I naturally put out to break my fall.

At the time although having bruised palms I regarded...

    Arthritis like pain in hands - Physical or psychological?

    Can arthritis like pain in hands be TMS? It is not actual arthritis. In the past, going on an anti-inflammatory diet alleviated it 100%. But I'm just wondering if it is TMS or something "physical"
