Well, personally, I've had osteoarthritis since I was 12 and am in pain
on a daily basis - I can't get around a shopping mall without a cane, Vegas usually requires two canes or a wheelchair. My doctor has been offering to sign off on it for years but I've always said no, until I actually started smokin again a couple weeks ago and found it does help with the pain management.

I'll bet there are bent doctors who are prepared to 'help out'

Yeah, I know people who have nothing wrong with them
but claim a "bad back" or whatever.

Most of it's sitting down, Kristine.
It's called baiting and waiting - you throw your line out, sit back, crack open a beer, wait to get a bite and then it takes all of 2 minutes to bring it in!
