I could and although it hurt then, feels a bit better today, less pain and not as stiff [oo-er].....

It could be gout, except that you said at first you had a small bruise on site, which doesn't fit the description. Gout's a build up of uric acid crystals in the cartilage of joints,tendons etc.
If it is that, Salty, you can usually manage it by diet and by making sure you drink plenty of water.
Erm, I can send you my arthritis diet sheet, if you like, as the 2 conditions are similar :coool:

Yeah, it does sound to be the likely explanation. When I find it, I'll send you the diet sheet.
it's nothing difficult...just need to eat less red meat and less animal fats in general, and there are a few specific foods to avoid, like tomatoes.

I dont think I eat many animal fats apart from a very rare pack of scratchings
