I need x-rays

It is not clear to me what x-rays are going to do to improve your situation. It may give you a label (such as arthritis) and provide a basis for your doctor to prescribe drugs, but it will not make your condition better.
'Text neck' and poor posture are common issues that need to be ruled out be before going on to the medical treadmill. In the past, I have had some upper body (neck and shoulders) issues associated with poor posture from extensive computer work. It is very common these days and in my case DYI treatment worked.
Here is a generic link to some exercises to consider:

It's probably not x-rays but red-light therapy.

I am in touch with Danny so most of what I do has been discussed with him.
I never have cold hands or feet.
I don't think I can take a lot of aspirin. I just take a tiny amount and I already get bleeding gums and if I accidentally get a small cut it bleeds like crazy. I take vit K too but it doesn't seem to make it better. The small amount is ok but if I take more I'm worried about the bleeding, even when I brush my teeth.Yes I do hold a smart phone for an extended period of time. I'm as addicted as anybody else

@LucH
wait, what does this mean? I have been using red light lately
Didn't even think about that. -

The Therapeutic Effects of Red and Near-Infrared Light (2017)
http://valtsus.blogspot.com/2017/05/the-therapeutic-effects-of-red-and-near.html
“Previous studies have shown that exposing cells to a particular wavelength of light, 670 nanometers, toward the red end of the visible spectrum, causes their energy-producing mitochondria to boost production of adenosine triphosphate, which powers the cells.” (Science 2017)
Near-infrared penetrates the tissue better than red light, so it’s more commonly used for treating body parts that are under the skin (brain, glands, joints, muscles). Visible red light is more commonly used in the treatment of wounds or skin diseases.
The right dose
Low-to-moderate doses of light are often described as stimulating and high doses as inhibitory, because some markers that can be increased by low doses of light, have been shown to decrease with excessive light doses. The exact mechanism of biphasic dose-response is not known, but it might be related to excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). -

I try to prop my phone again something as much as possible so I am not actually holding it when I use it. I have been looking for something to hold with the phone in it when I do have to have it in hand, so I am touching it as little as possible.

I actually do have Helycrisse. How do you apply it? You use a carrier oil? -

Not obliged to but the penetration will be easier. Advised to do so.
2 possibilities with oil + EO- I have a small pot with 10 ml oil ( tsp). I put a finger in it and rub the skin. Afterwards I take 2 drops EO on a finger and I rub the place where it is needed. x 2. Not very practical but quicker. Total 4 drops, 3 times a day.
- I mix oil and EO in the pot.
Mind the proportions: 40 % EO.
For 10 ml oil, it makes 4 ml EO (4 x 20 drops). Not cheap so.
Try to add lavendula or tea tree. lavendula if you don't take aspirin.
I'd add 1/3 anti-pain EO if no aspirin. But with no irritable touch.
Edit: Instead of oil, you can use body milk if you don't mix the whole thing.

got it. I'd suggest trying to reverse a vitamin K deficiency, with just prolonged higher doses of vitamin K (K2MK4 is a must, idealabs is suggested). If you can't go higher dose on the aspirin, I'd consider getting a couple bottles and going reasonably high dose topical on the belly button, and orally.
Danny said how when he was reaching 3 g of aspirin, he was bleeding like crazy, and unbeknownst to him had likely induced a vit K deficiency, upped 5mg to 10mg vit K and that went away pretty quickly. Maybe you need more. keep up calcium and vit D and you're killin it.
All these nutrients will be important cofactors in the improvement of arthritis, anyway!

same, but after I deleted a game I was seriously spending too much time on, my own arthritic pains have gone away. Also, I try to limit things on the phone, that I could do on a computer instead, that seems to gives less centralized radiation.
I don't think there's a way around this. I remember Ray commenting how he'd be emailing people back and forth about their problems for years, and then find out they are on their smart phone all the time. Note: radiation mitigating devices has not worked for me (still keep them on my phone)

@DavidPS Great point DavidPS. I second this. One should be doing the things that will fix arthritis anyway, so knowing if what you've got is arthritis is a moot point.
If you google what a doctor will prescribe, it'd basically be painkillers/NSAID's, steroids, and DMARDs (supposedly stop progression of arthritis)...

Masterjohn says K2 MK7 for fluidity problems is optimal, better than K1.
Mind the protection (oxidation) for MK7. Rather fragile (3 months if not well encapsulated with e.g. rosmarinus). So No liquid form with MK7.
Excerpt:
There is reason to think MK-7 would be better at supporting blood clotting.
“MK-7 is not just three times better than K1 at reaching bone; it’s also five times better at supporting blood clotting (Schurgers, 2007). This may be because the greater fat-solubility of MK-7 makes it hold on more tightly to the membranes within liver cells, making it stay active in the liver much longer rather than being released and broken down (Shearer, 2008). The liver is where clotting proteins are made, so more extended activity in the liver would explain why MK-7 could better support blood clotting. If this is correct, other long-chain MKs such as MK-8 and MK-9 probably share this property as well.”

@LucH I agree Mk7 better than K1, but apparently Mk7 functions like a surrogate of Mk4 -- it's sole reason that I recall for it's continued support is that it's half life is twice as long, but, that's likely because it's used half as effectively. Apparently K1 itself is converted to Mk4.
https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/k2-mk4-or-mk7.13828/page-4Based on this, I believe it would be better to just continually consume more Mk4.

@LetTheRedeemed said in I need x-rays:

Yes, I do so (MK4) but once a week I take the full spectrum.
I won't account much on the conversion rate (K1 => needs for MK4 and MK7), very weak (15%) and random.
