Well right after I like sprained my right thumb, I've been having problems with the knuckles on my other fingers as well. Like for example sometimes the knuckle on my (right hand) index finger gets red and swells up with a little pain. But I didn't injure it at all.. The redness, swelling, and pain usually goes away within 20 minutes. This also sometimes occurs on my other knuckles as well. Again there wasn't any real injury and this doesn't last very long. I've tested the finger by pressing the bones of that finger and there is no pain so I know I haven't broken it. I also moved the finger back and brought it forward without pain as well so it isn't sprained.

I know I am going to quit smoking. It seems like just when I think I am going to be able to quit, something changes in my life and I fall right back into the usual routine of smoking. What are some ways that some of you have successfully used to quit smoking?
