Lactose intolerance? My cousins GF had it and thought she couldn’t have cheese but the cheese stand lady set her straight.
Try cutting out the milk products for a few days. Could be a life changer.

I just had my food allergy blood test in February, I am very mildly allergic to casein a protein in milk. I do have a glass of milk with breakfast, and half a glass with dinner tho. They don't make casein free milk, like they do make lactose free milk. It's even in human milk.

I usually have to blow my nose after drinking it and that's it. And I'm still having the milk but the pain is gone and I'm having a SHARP cheese snack every night. Only 1/4oz with some cashews (my fav).

So the pain reaction isn't casein or I'd be in pain right now. I'm stumped. When I was young, I scored high enough in tests to get a free ride to medical school to become a doctor. At the last minute I decided I didn't want to get out of college at 32 (I was going to be a specialist in plastic surgery), and my sister is a retired nurse, so I know a lot about medicine and doctoring and still read medical articles.

I'm going to do more research on it. BUT, after I get this placed cleaned up. I have a lot of cleaning and yardwork to do..... And on that note, it's time I got up from this late lunch and get back to it!!!!!

Alas, I'm finally getting something off of my workbench. I previously mentioned this project here and here. I ripped apart my old RG270 that I bought some time back in the mid-90s and replaced everything. New Gotoh tuners, nut, and tremolo (which is 1000% improvement over the stock trem). New pickups and an unnecessarily complicated wiring scheme with a 5-way and push/pull vol and tone for series/parallel neck and bridge phase. Cramming all that into the rear cavity and getting it soldered up with those gigantic CTS push/pull pots was a bit of a challenge. The neck got a level, crown, and polish ala MichaelW and I even used his technique for dealing with a bit of a hump where it bolted on. I switched it from HSH to HH, which meant I needed a pickguard, but there wasn't a pickguard on the 270 and pickguards from other RG models didn't line up, so I used my CNC to cut one to precisely fit. Lessons were learned and it's fun to play this one again after it sat in the closet for many years.

Awesome! I've got a 520Q(I think) in a corner that I'm slowly building up pieces to rebuild. Was my first "real" guitar.
But it needs a refret on the first 5 from my drop C chugga chugga days(now I'm mostly baritone open A chunk chunking) so I'm procrastinating until I get it reassembled to take it in for a refret and setup.
What trem did you go with?

Gotoh GE1996T (33mm). You don't need to replace the posts, but the Gotoh ones are beefier and I was up for the adventure. Some people say they didn't need to modify the cavity at all, but I had to shave a tiny bit off one side so that it didn't hit. I took care of it with a Dremel and threw a little black vehicle touch-up paint on it.

Is it osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis? FWIW I haven't heard of any link between lactose intolerance and joint pain, but of course it's still possible. I'm not at all a professional, but I could see some link with rheumatoid arthritis since it's based on your immune system and there could be some connection there? Not sure about osteoarthritis. Then again joint pain can also vary based on air pressure I think, so maybe it could also be a coincidence? In any case if leaving out mild cheddar helps with the pain, it doesn't really matter why, the important part is just that it helps.
