What is the name of the joint in your skull?
The joints between bones of the skull are immovable and called sutures. The three pairs of coxal bones are separate at birth, but by the age of ten, they have become fused together; there is no movement between the ilium, ischium and pubis. The sacrum, also fused, articulates with the innominates at two joints called the right and left sacroiliac joints, or SIJs. These joints have a small amount of movement. The innominates are joined at the bottom front of the pelvis to the symphysis pubis, a piece of tough cartilage. The right and left pubic symphysis joints are also called the PSJs. There is very limited movement at these joints, though they become more flexible in women during pregnancy and childbirth. The sacrum and coccyx (or tailbone) also have a joint, called the sacrococcygeal joint, with a small range of movement. This joint is important in the functioning of the muscles of the pelvic floor and spine.
What is bursitis and what causes it?
A "Bursa" is plural for "Bursae " which is a fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane with an inner capillary layer of slimy fluid (similar in consistency to that of a raw egg white). It provides a cushion between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint. This helps to reduce friction between the bones and allows free movement. Bursae are filled with synovial fluid and are found around most major joints of the body. There are 160 bursae in a human body. Without the bursa, movement would be painful. Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursa. They can become inflamed from injury, infection (rare in the shoulder), or due to an underlying rheumatic condition. Examples of bursitis include injury as subtle as lifting a bag of groceries into the car to inflame the shoulder bursa, infection of the bursa in front of the knee from a knee scraping on asphalt, and inflammation of the elbow bursa from gout crystals.
What does the scientific saying When grandmas bones and bunions ache expect the clouds to fill the lake mean?
It means that there is a storm coming. When a cold front comes in and you have arthritis, your bones will ache. As people age, their joints get looser and these pockets of less tight tissue can detect changes in barometric pressure and let people know of approaching rain. People who have had joint surgury know the experience as well. When a storm approaches, the barometric pressure changes as the storm front either moves a cold or warm front out of the way. This change can be felt hours or even days ahead of an approaching storm system.

Why are hinge joints called hinge joints?
Hinge joints are called so because they mimic a hinge, which is a mechanism on which something swings, limited to two directions, either back and forward or side to side. Think of a hinge on a door. It allows the door to open and close based on that one hinge. Door hinges do not allow the door to pivot or move in any direction besides open/close or front/back. Hinge joints do the same, such as the elbow and knee, which can only move forward and back.Hinge joints are called that because they open and close like any hinge. If you look for one in the home and open and close it, you will see what is meant by a hinge joint. This joint allows movement in one plane only. The ankle and the knee are good examples. The knee is considered the largest one in the body.

Is swimming good for your body?
Yes. Some consider swimming the best exercise. This assumes you are working at it not just floating on your back paddling. Swimming laps using a stroke such as the front crawl or the breast stroke, you use the muscles of your legs, arms, shoulders, buttocks and more. And the impact/pounding of bones and joints experienced in running, jogging are avoided. It also avoids the possibility of over heating.

When did swimming competitions start?
Competitive swimming in Europe started around 1800, mostly using breaststroke. In 1873 John Arthur Trudgen introduced the trudgen to Western swimming competitions, after copying the front crawl used by Native Americans. Due to a British disregard for splashing, Trudgen employed a scissor kick instead of the front crawl's flutter kick. Swimming was part of the first modern Olympic games in 1896 in Athens. In 1902 Richard Cavill introduced the front crawl to the Western world. In 1908, the world swimming association, Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA), was formed. The butterfly stroke was developed in the 1930s and was at first a variant of breaststroke, until it was accepted as a separate style in 1952. People have always competed and there are stories of Vikings swimming out to sea the one who returned won (the other drowned - now THAT'S competitive!)
