It's more like a sharp pain that's immediately adjacent to the joint if that makes sense. It sort of... pulls, in my experience. It feels unstable. Arthritis feels more like a dull, crunchy ache within the joint itself.
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

brillig
What Anne said, especially about the pulling. There's the overall ache that will sometimes to away with use, then there's a feeling like you're wearing clothes that are too tight, that are digging in as you try to move, binding up the joint.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh! We just did a training on exercise for people with arthritis: I remember "low weight/resistance, high reps" as the guideline.
Aaaaaand, that's about it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Lying on the (EVIL) foam roller prompted me to sing the Log song from Ren & Stimpy at Tim. Because it looks like a log. Log! from Blammo!: [link]

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
smonster, how's your hip/IT band?
Not so great. It's bad enough to give me trouble falling asleep. I'm wearing my SI belt right now, which helps some. I think because my joints are loose, my muscles tighten to compensate, but they overtighten and then I can't get realigned. I feel a perpetual need to pop my sacrum, but it won't unless I spend an hour or so lying on the foam roller and balls. And my left leg is so tight that my foot is sickled and hurts all the way down the outside. Yoga, yoga, yoga. Need to do yoga.
Uh. Thanks for asking.
Going to be hard not to spend money this weekend with friends in from out of town...

They need to buy you drinks.

Well, I have a gift certificate from my birthday for one of our favorite places, so I figure I can treat them and then they can treat me. And if I slip a little, it won't be the end of the world.

Yeah, unless I clock serious time on the foam roller, it doesn't help much. I just pop a DVD in the player and let it go.
I *think* the muscle that's the worst offender is the tensor faciae latae, but I will be damned if I can get it to chill the fuck out.
