Could someone give me the Chinese translation......

[alidoll]

I have arthritis and I benefit from massage but am worried that if I got one in Beijing (or wherever I may be in China) that they will do it too hard.

Could someone please translate into Chinese something along the lines of this .....

"I have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands, wrists, knees, feet and toes, so please be a little more gentle than normal. Thank you very much"

And thank you for whoever can help me out

Hi,

我的手, 腕關節,膝蓋, 腳和腳趾頭都有類風濕性關節炎, 所以請你輕一點, 非常感激.

be a little more gentle than normal---apart from the above, you can say "比平常小力一點"

Hope it helps!

you can say "比平常小力一點"

What does this mean as an alternative to the first one ?

Thank you for translating for me, but if anyone has the Chinese word for arthritis I would be very grateful.

Arthritis is 關節炎 (guan1 jie2 yan2)

Rheumatoid arthritis is 風濕性關節炎 (feng1 shi1 xing4 guan1 jie2 yan2)

Thank you liuzhou

It means the same as the first one. I just offered another way of expressing it.

Alidol, are you getting massage specifically to treat your arthritis?

#7 Not for specifically arthritis, but it does tend to make me feel a whole lot better
