[Isobel:] No.
[speaker001:] er because there's no arthritis.
[Isobel:] Aha.
[speaker001:] And you still get pains in your joints even though you don't have arthritis.... Er... right.
[Isobel:] But what I was thinking, maybe I'd be better going back to work and seeing how
[speaker001:] Mhm.
[Isobel:] You know?
[speaker001:] Yeah, er I think so. The, the one thing about arthritis that... y you're better if you can keep going. Rather than because if you settle, if you, you let the, the joints settle, instead of being nice and smooth, they get all rough... and the other bones knit in
