My 20 month old little girl appears to have this (we get the final diagnosis in about a month). She started limping with a swollen right knee, morning stiffness, swollen foot and ankle. Any info. would be helpful…thanks.

I know that I should be on glucosamine for my joints(mainly my shoulders) and I think it may have the same cause as the pain in my ankles.

Sometimes when I walk a lot, run, or hike I get a dull pain in my left ankle, right below the end of the fibula(the bump on the outside of your ankle). Often times, it comes with a grinding feeling in the area.

Basically I know what it most likely is, and cannot afford professional treatment or even glucosamine tablets at the moment.(Anything less than -40 for a 1-month supply doesnt really work)

What I want to know is what I can do at home with a small budget to treat or prevent this?

(Was thinking ankle brace and/or arch support pads in shoes, but want other options, and opinions on these)

I was just diagnosed with degenerative disk disease, route nerve impingement, and arthritis in my back and I am in a significant amount of pain. The doctor gave me Motrin 600. It does nothing for my pain. He didn’t give me any advice on how I can help my back. I tried to go to Urgent care and they turned me away. What do I do and why don’t they care?

"Arthritis Begone" is the book’s name I own.
However, this book is written by American doctor.
And I only have Chinese translation version.
In its Chapter 7,section 2 : "XXXX is a better therapy"

Because I am a patient of Ankylosing Spondylitis, I want to know the exact title of section 2.
Please type it for me if you could find this book,
Thank you~~
Its writer is John B. Irwin, M.D. (1997) and
publisher is Keats Publishing, INC.

Maybe I email my question to the publisher of Chinese translation version I will get answer fast ….

I’ve experienced pain and numbness in my hands for about three years now. I saw a hand surgeon a year ago, he told me that I don’t have carpal tunnel, and I’m too young to have any sort of arthritis (I am 22).

Over the last year, I’ve began experiencing joint pain during sleep and any time I remain inactive for a few hours at a time. I wake up every night to severe shoulder, ankle, hip, knee, elbow, jaw, and hand pain; I’m also very stiff and achy for the first few hours I’m awake.

I’ve lost most of my faith in the medical community. Every time I’ve really tried to get an accurate diagnosis, I’m told I’m too young to have this or that wrong with me or I’m written off as a "drug seeker".

Does this sound like arthritis or something else? What type of help should I seek? Has anyone else experienced these symptoms?

please tell me! is she absoulutley gonna be affected?

I have been diagnosed and am wondering if my children are at risk.

He is a 65 pound neutered male with kidney disease. Because of the kidney disease he can not take any type of anti-inflamatory. Where can I get glucosamine? How much do I give him? Will it work as well as a prescription medication? etc?

My boyfriend, when he was younger and in the developmental phase, was put on Cytoxan (a chemo drug) for arthritis. I was reading a little about the drug and found that it could cause sterility. Is this common? He’s very nervous about it, even though he’s getting checked out by his doctor and possibly by a specialist, just in case. We’re very serious about each other and we’ve been talking about marriage and we both want children. Of course I will marry him no matter what. I just wanted to hear about any firsthand experiences with that medication. Thanks!
