MightyMouse Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Swollen joints are not typically part of ANS dysfunction. Some people do get joint aches and pains (I'm one of them), and some also get swollen glands/lymph nodes. You should probably get checked by your doctor as there are a number of things that can cause joint swelling, including arhtritis, lyme disease, infections, injury, etc. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus88 Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I didn't really have trouble with this until the past few months. Turns out that milk or milk-based products cause my hands to become stiff and sore and feel fat, adn eventually it spreads to my feet, then knees and hips. It took a while after discontinuing the milk, but now the pain is gone unless I slip up and again consume it.Just something for you to consider.
