Lately I've noticed my joints have been a bit achey, especially in the morning. I imagine it could be from exercise (I do cross trainer, weights and swimming) but I've been exercising for a few months so I don't understand why its bothering me now... Also, just recently I developed "trigger finger" in my thumb. Its an inflamation of the tendon, so if I bend my thumb it gets stuck and I have to straighten it out with my other hand and it makes this big pop. Whats happening to me!?

Hi Katiesmom,

I agree with Kristine about the thumb - see your doctor.

As for the aching joints, it's possible you are sensitive to arichodonic acid.
The Drs Eades, authors of Protein Power, explain it here. (http://eatprotein.com/answers6.html#6b)

My joint pain has improved since I added fish oil capsules to my supplements. I take 1, 3 times daily with my meals. if you do take the fish oil, make sure you get the enteric coated ones to prevent the "fishy" burps.

HTH!
