	I've lost a wonderful tech to RMS in her right arm. It's her
epicondyle. Now
	I'm getting the same symptoms in both of my arms. What can we do?
I'm trying
	to stretch my arms w/ a product called the Wrist Wand, and that
helps a
	little. My doctor has me on Vioxx (anti-inflammatory drug). I need
help, and
	so does my staff!
