So everybody was asking if I felt OK. I started poking around in the menu system (still new to the game).
Turns out I have "stone joint". How did I get it and how can I get rid of it?

I play as a Redguard that looks sort of like Teal'c from Stargate SG1.
If telling me will reveal spoilers then don't tell me. Do towns have merchants that sell potions?
I'd like to buy a cure. I should've asked the guy in the trader if he had any, wasn't thinking about it at the time.

Just go to a shrine. Every city has them.

Pray at every shrine you find even if you don't have a disease. You get benefits from the god when you do.

:tes:

use a shrine or a cure disease pot. shrine costs nothing. ;D

Probably caught it from a wolf attack.

A shrine or a Cure Disease potion will clear it up.

You can also buy cure disease potions from an alchemist. :thumbsup:

You know that crazy yelling preacher in Whiterun, there's a small shrine just behind his back.

Whenever I pray at the shrive, I also punch him in the face for disturbing the general peace.

Heathen thou shall feel the wrath of the true sons and daughters of Skyrim!

Quite fancy some stone joint while looking at the northern lights.

Awesome tip about praying at a Shrine! I was also wondering why everyone kept asking me if I felt OK. So, I did take a health potion. BTW, this is my first RPG.... lots to learn, but I absolutely love this game! Great site too!

and torches, don't forget the torches!

Thanks for the replies.
