I can’t take any nsaids to help relieve the pain for inflamation and arthritis. Because of my medications I already take, I was trying to find a external cream that might help.

Was taken off shots after being told that new studies show 2yrs is long enough. I recived it for 3 and half years and was not instructed to take calcium supplements(standard practice now) I am being told that new studies have linked it to brittle bones. I still haven’t had a cycle yet and its been 8mths. I already have degenerative arthritis and had a battle with osteomylitis from an old carwreck i was in yrs ago. Can anyone tell me anything about this form of birthcontrol. Veterans hospital isnt set up to deal with young female vets. Can you believe the doc had her NP give me this shot repeatedly without researching it or my medical history.Is there anything i can do to reverse any damage to my bones or health for that matter.

My doctor said that it is not but why do I hurt all the time. My legs and hips never stop hurting.

Can giving him the oil have any side effects?

I am on medication, one is considered a chemotherapy drug for Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have asked both my doctors, family and Rheumatologist and they have no idea. No such side effects are listed. It was predominantly on my left side but now the curls are also on my right side.

I have joint pain and degeneration of my joints and cartiledge.

I have recently found out I have chlamydia, which means i have probably had it for 3 years. Over the last year i have noticed clicking in my wrists and sometimes in the ankles - could this be caused by chlamydia ? or just age? and will the pills for chlamydia clear everything up?

This is my mri report June 3rd. Just want to know how bad do you think this report is?? Mild, Moderate, Severe?? I’m 38 years old. Have 5 sisters, 5 brothers, and my mom. No one else in the family has arthritis, nor spinal problems.

A Nuerosurgeon is going to give me an epidural injection on July 15th for C6-7. I’ve never had any of these done before. How bad do these hurt??

The doc prescribed Neurontin & Tramadol for pain. The Neurontin is take 1 capsule twice/day and 2 @ bedtime. (300mg).
The Tramadol is take 1 to 2 tablets every 6 hours. (50mg.)
I also have been prescribed Ibuprofen 800mg., use when needed.
I feel the meds do not help for pain, or stiffness (especially in the a.m. when I wake up).

REPORT:

Small herniated disc C5-6, with some mild bulges at C4-5 and C6-7.
Minimal Arthritis.

HNP (L) C5-6 (Herniated Nucleus Pulposus=(“Slipped disc”).
(L) C6 radiculopathy= (“Nerve Root Damage“).
Mild DJD Cervial Spine= (“Degenerative Joint Disease”)

I was given a prescription for Ketoprophen a few years ago and now I think I am having side effects. There were a few taken off the market a few years ago due to heart defects and my insurance wouldn’t pay for one that seemed helpful.
I’m wondering if there is something new I could ask my doctor about?

I have a severe case of rheumatoid arthritis. My knees, ankles, hands and other joints swell up with fluid a lot. I have had my knees drained of fluid around 25 to 30 times. I feel like I’m running out of options. I’ve had arthroscopic knee surgery and it didn’t help. I’m in a lot of pain all the time even when I don’t have visual signs of swelling.
I am on a strong pain killer and also take Plaquenil. I am just afraid of more problems occuring if I take the drug azathioprine. Please help!

I have JIA and im currently on diclofenac sodium ( arthrotec ) and paracetamol . as you can probably tell i have been diagnosed little over a month, i have been on these for 3 weeks and they r supposed to start working any time now. i wondered what other people had and if they worked ??

400+lbs.; hypertension; degenerative arthritis; heart murmur; ashmatic …I’ve tried many fad diets and none of them work. I really need help from someone who knows how to help me become more healthy. Otherwise, I don’t know what I’ll do.

My doctor has given me a precription for Synvise Injections for arthritis in my knees I went to the pharmacy and my share of the cost ( After insurance ) would be 0.00 and there is no way I can even afford my share of the cost, I know there are programs for people with no insurance I am trying to find a program that would pay the cost of what the insurance doesn’t cover. Can anyone give me any answers?

Hi.
I have had juvenile arthritis for 4-5 years now.At the beginning I wasn’t able to do any kind of sport,but now,as my condition is getting better due to medication,I start thinking more and more about training some kind of sport.As I really can’t run fast or long anymore,soccer is not an option,but what about martial arts?Is it safe to train a martial art when dealing with this form arthritis.I know what I’m capable of,so I don’t even think about martial art competitions and so on - just training for fitness.
I know I must ask me doctor too,but I’m visiting him in a week or two,so why not ask you?

P.S. Maybe I’ve made some grammar mistakes,but my English isn’t perfect,sorry.

In the past 3 years I’ve been getting really sore thighs, knees, groin, neck and hands (although the hands thing could easily be attributed to how much time I spend on my computer).
I have also developed this horrible lumpy rash on my elbows and knees. Recently my mum mentioned that a few of my female cousins have this thing called psoriatic arthritis and it sounds like what I have. When I went to the doctor she was really nice but she said there was no test for it so I should just try to keep warm, do loads of exercise and come back when I had an inflamed joint to show her. The thing is, they never seem to get obscenely swollen or inflamed so I have no reason to go back. But it’s really uncomfortable, I find myself having to go walking around the city all evening because sitting still is so sore.
Any tips or advice? Because I am purely self-diagnosed I’m not going to go out and buy any drugs or anything. But I would be keen to try anything else that might help.
Thanks.

She is only 4 years old and petite for her age. Concerned about her losing her appetite and other reactions long term…is there anyone who has a relative who was helped by this drug?

Have a 10, and 14 year old dogs. One has congestive heart failure, and is taking meds. One has some arthritis, and tends to have hip pain, mainly when it rains.

I have been diagnosed with degenerative bone and disc disease. for years I didn’t have any dental problems, even though the dentist told me that I have "soft teeth". For that reason and having braces when i was a teenager, I made it a habit of brushing my teeth several times a day. I will even wake up at night and brush my teeth.
Now, in the past 1 1/2-2 years my teeth will just crumble and eventually some of them have hurt which meant they had to be extracted. The tooth will look healthy. I had a FRONT TOOTH to crumble and fall out WHILE I WAS BRUSHING!
My dentist told me that other than the deteriorating my teeth were healthy. There were no signs of plaque or improper brushing.
I am now 37 years old and I have been diagnosed with the bone and spine disease along with arthritis in my back but does this type of disease affect a persons teeth.
Please serious answers only worth 10 points!

I have tried alot of products that state they have the miracle cure without success. Your opinions will be taken seriously.
