[AT] was fly nets now joints

[CEE VILL]

Thanks for the suggestion. I had not heard the inversion term before, but have been trying to think of a was to safely hang either upright or inverted to decompress joints.  Have not come up with a way to do this in the house.  When I was a kid, I used to spend a lot of time hanging from the knees on a "skin the cat" bar.  It felt good to do that.  Now having seen a hip x-ray showing bone on bone contact, I am not sure it would help.  The medical plan now is to literally grease the joint with some injected jelly.  If that helps even for a short time, it will be assumed the joint causes the pain.  That is not an adventure i am looking for, but I am pretty useless as it is now.
