I woke up in the middle of the night with fingers so stiff that I couldn't even bend them. I could feel the main joint in my fingers rubbing when I attempted to make a fist. I'm assuming it's ye olde pregnancy induced carpal tunnel, but it may as well have been arthritis.
Then I rolled out of bed and yelled - "My hips!"
I'm the lady from the life alert commercials.
