Though I will not totally rule out such a thing, I doubt that I had a 
serious problem. The type of diving I do has some risk and I accept that. 
As I am not a Dr, I will generally group words together to cover various 
things. As in shoulders, meaning my muscles in that general location, same 
with legs. If I had felt pain in my joints I would have said something like 
knees or joint in my shoulder . But that makes no difference, it could have 
been the beginning of a serious problem or it may have been just "niggles" 
that come before a limb bend or only symptoms after a dive. Yes Dr. Black I 
have several medical diving books(none will save my life underwater), I 
have a very hard time understanding them, I have no problem understanding 
me.  The real deal is I'm fine.
For a Dr you assume too much, thus you make an ass (out of ) U (and) me.
I do not claim to be any kind of expert on any of the Decompression 
theories or medical terms used, I am even lost to some of the things 
discuss on this list about those subjects. They are huge subjects with many 
different understandings.

In the water I am as tough as they come, there is little I cannot do. My 
world and playground start just below the surface. I had extended an offer 
to you go on my next trip, having gotten email from MHK after diving with 
you, I take back that offer. You are not as good as those I have previously 
denied access to go on these trips.

Trust me Mr. Black
I am far better at diving than you, have you considered an "Advance Class"
