In response to Tom Topping, 30th Nov:

In descending order of incidence, I have seen fatigue, joint pain and skin
bends.

I would only count fatigue as DCI when it is obviously DCI! This may seen a
brash statement but when you have it, there is no mistakeing it.

I personally will not go to the chamber for a niggle or joint pain, unless it
was either progressive or in water treatement on had no effect. I feel
that
immediate treatement is more effective than spending 2 hours on a mask while
being "diagnosed" at the local chamber. I have been sent home without treatment
from this chamber.

Yes, most divers report that if the suffer symptoms again, it is in the same
area. 1
