Health chat at noon on hand, wrist pain

Join us June 1 at noon EST at baltimoresun.com/healthchat for a live chat on hand pain issues with Dr. Paul Christo a pain specialist at Johns Hopkins. Many people suffer from arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis of the wrist, ganglion cysts and other conditions. Recently, research out of The University College London said crossing your arms will confuse the brain and relieve pain. If you have questions on these or other topics, then mark your calendar.

Christo is director of the Multidisciplinary Pain Fellowship Training Program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He also has a radio talk show Saturday nights on WBAL.
