My guess is over indulgence ..with the sun of course !!! On a serious note ..ask a local to get you some "tuna" . It is a plant that you mash and drink .. they will know what you are looking for .. the stuff is sort of nasty to drink ..but worked wonders for me and my banged up hockey body ..trust me I was most skeptical ..but damn .. I was back to 100 % in a couple of hours ..amazing !!
Somebody recently told me that "alcohol" & coffee cause inflamation, which, in turn, aggravates arthritis....just a thought...
have had very little coffee and very little alcohol. But if ganja happens to cure it, I should be ready to work at Ricks as one of the divers any moment .....

LMAO, boy I'm glad I wasn't taking a drink when I read that! That was hilarious.
Good stuff

Yay! Sounds like you're having a great time in Negril! I'm looking forward to reading more! - Did you grant Brasi his sit down interview yet?
I do hope you feel better soon though, It's probably all the sun, drinking, partying and fast scooter drivin'
A little bit of R & R and I know you'll be back on your feet.
Carpe Diem
Gerry, the sea is good for aches and pains--I recommend swimming in the sea and chilling out. And I have to second negriljail on getting some tuna (the plant not the fish!) I had a really bad fall a couple of trips back on wet slippery tiles--was bruised up something fierce. A local friend brought me a couple of pitchers of tuna and water mixture--really slimy stuff. He made me drink both pitchers and I kid you not, the next day, the bruises had nearly disappeared and the pain was gone. I had also gone to the clinic in Negril, but all they did was confirm that I hadn't broken anything. Get some tuna, man, and drink it up.
That's OK. I kept motoring along, having fun. I hit the roundabout, where I know all the jerk-barrel guys always hang out, but not much happening there, so I kept going. I saw winner's circle, where they have those wild parties on the roof until the wee hours, but it was pretty quiet, too.
Where was everyone? At this time of night, there aren't too many choices, so it had to be Scrub A Dub.

I was not feeling as red-blooded as usual, so I was in a look-but-no-touch mood as I climbed the hill towards Scrub a Dub, which for the uninformed its a wild, wild club that's sort of a dance club and strip club all in one.
Anyway, it appeared there was something big going on cause as I neared the club of ill-repute, there were TONS of cars and tons of locals milling about, and 10 to 15 jerk stands, etc. Turns out, it was a huge local party with a live band playing there, a special event.
The event was actually just ending as I pulled up, so just everyone was leaving and streaming out in the street, mostly youngsters and NO tourists at all.
I figured I would peak in, see if my fav dancer from last time, Rochella, was there, but like I said, I was not into anything private or anything like that, and I only pulled like 25 dollars from my little pouch, left the rest in the scooter compartment.
Turns out, there were no dancers at all, as like I said everyone was leaving, lot of drunk folks enjoying their Friday night. These were regular peeps, not hustlers, and no one was grabbing me or soliciting me or anything like that, not even saying hi to me really.
I had a quick red bull, and put the change in my back pocket of cargo shorts, one of seven pockets including one shirt pocket on my button-down shirt.
Here's where it gets crazy .....
