In the past I have tried shaving my legs and always ended up nicking myself. While the cut healed fine, I was always left with a dark scar that would take a couple of months to disappear. I do use an epitator, though it is very painfull on the knees.
I am sorry to hear about your atritic problems. About 20 years ago, I was in severe pain with athritis, in my knees and very aware that my grandfather had spent 27 years totaly bedridden, with the most appaling rheumatoid athritis. At the same time I was suffering, increasinly from gut and stomach problems and bouts of flu like symptoms. I turned out that I am coeliac and as soon as I cut out gluten, my ahtritis improved dramaticaly; on day 5 I was saying it was 85% better. It looks very much as if this was the reason for my gandather's problems, as well.
I think it is worth trying to see, if there is a dietry link, in your case, either by cutting out certain groups of food, for a 5 day stretch at a time, or by going on an elimination diet. The 2 main groups to look at, first, are milk and products, containig milk and wheat, rye and barley, which contain gluten.
