Anyone know about arthritis? Help me please!?..?

Question

I really need to know as many different diagnostic tests for arthritis as possible, how they are carried out and what are the treatments available for arthritis?

Thank you very much.

Answer 1

there are two general types of arthritis: osteoarthristis, which results from damage to the joints becoming cumulative, and autoimmune arthritis, which results from the immune system attacking the joints. Neither type is curable, and since they have different causes, they have different treatment. OA is the more common: it is diagnosed by clinical examination (feeling and looking at the knee, questions about the symptoms, etc.) and xrays. it's treated with pain management (rest, ice heat, etc.) analgesics, and mild anti-inflammatory drugs. Autoimmune arthritis (usually called rheumatoid arthritis, though the rheumatoid factor may or may not be discernibly present) can sometimes be detected with blood tests, since certain chemicals in the blood will probably be elevated, but that is not 100% reliable. X-rays may show degeneration if the disease has progressed far enough (which is bad) but probably won't find it in the early stages. if you have the symptoms of RA, and the other possible explanations are ruled out, your will be diagnosed with RA. RA is treated with anti-rheumatic drugs, mild-anti-inflammatories, and analgesics.

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.



If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.



Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.



And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.



I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.



It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.



Today, I want to do the same for you!

Answer 3

There are really no treatments for arthritis. I would see an arthritis doctor and see what mearthritisthey recommened to take down the inflamanation a little. First thing is x rays

Answer 4

I have osteoarthritis in the severe degenerative stages. I am in pain all the time. There are many types of medications out there but, sometimes the cure is worse then the disease. Ask your doctor for a simple blood test to see how bad it is, you may want to have a bone density test also to see how bad your bones are.

Your doctor may want you on several type of medications or you can try, from WalMart in the drug department either pills, a bottled drink or powder glusomine and chondroitin, these are normal body building additives and sometimes they help a lot.

Other then this like me, I'm on pain pills because my heart isn't strong enough for some of these medication.

Answer 5

depends what kind of arthritis it is your suffering from, but natural supplements like glucosamine can help alot if taken regulary also fish oil helps the joints aswell. see your doctor or an naturopath they can help heaps.

Answer 6

Doctors didn't help me at all. waste of money. Save yourself time and money and just start buying opiets on the streets, like vicodin, percocets, oxicontins, methadone, morphine, or even heroin in a pinch. no need to thank me, I just love to help. Enjoy your new pain free life
