Jeez, if his description weren’t so poetically wordy it might be easier to figure out what he’s describing.[quote=“doctorow, post:1, topic:85922”]
Every groinal tendon was on fire. My knees felt like little exploding schematic diagrams of cartilaginous balls and sockets and springs, ready to go sproiiiinnggggg!

I had sarcoidosis a few years ago, and my doctor could not figure it out, symptoms got worse over the course of a week or two, until he gave up and sent me to a specialist who got it immediately. It’s rare, and consists of an autoimmune response that caused all my joints to swell up (started with ankles, then knees, then back/elbows/neck) to where I was hobbling around (if I walked at all, I spent a lot of time just laying in bed with my feet raised.) Steroids cleared it up within 48 hours, with major relief within 4 hours of taking the first pill.
