I have seen movies were martial artists hit a piece of wood or something hard, and I wonder if one of the consequences include developing arthritis.

I plan on consulting my doctor; I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same symptoms and been diagnosed.

Age 78, fond of playing Badminton, but knees are giving me much pain. I have tried things llike glucosomine without much success. Vioxx did help, but it is now off the market.

I like to crack my toes a lot. I was wondering if there is a possibility that i could develop arthritis at an older age.

It changed my outlook on my entire life. I was forced to retire after 28 years in the construction industry after I had a heart attack at 47 and was also fighting Degenerative arthritis. Now life is simple and I get my pensions.

I know it is a long shot, but I am looking for something that is going to help arthritis and weight control, is there anything available in the US for it?

For the past couple months, I’ve experienced increasingly painful days. My knees swell up after exercise, and it hurts to walk up and down stairs even if I hadn’t yet ran around. My wrists, elbows, and shoulders occasionally become warmish feeling, and range from irritating to holding-painful. My big toe is actually one of the worse joints affected- it hurts to move it sometimes, but it hurts to just sit around with it, too.

I’m fourteen, and I have a friend that has Juvenile Arthritis.

Is there a chance that I have it, or am I just paranoid?

His blood work came back positive, he’s getting a second test done but we’re pretty sure he has it. I know what Rheumatoid Arthritis is but I don’t know what really happens to the body other than the splaying of hands. Can somebody shed some light? We’re really nervous.

Such as antibiotics, Thyroxin, meds for rheumatoid arthritis?
I have actually been prescribed Thyroxin and I also have rheumatoid arthritis so these drugs are something I take daily.. I also work in hospital, so follow-up is always there. I was just looking for a reliable alternative for buying more of these drugs.

I’m on a pain program for chronic degenerative arthritis and need to switch my pain meds.
