What are the chemicals in tomatoes potatoes and peppers that help cause arthritis pain?
There is no hard evidence that these foods have any effect on arthritis. I am a sufferer of RA and have never noted any effect as a result of indulging or not indulging in these foods. With tomatoes and peppers the myth goes that the acids effect the bone, however potatoes don't have the same property's, and in any case arthritis starts as a result of damage to cartilage which has nothing to do with bone, unless there is trauma causing bone damage which in turn causes cartilage damage which in turn then causes more bone damage.
Can hip bone spurs grow back?
Hip bone spurs may regrow after surgical removal in some cases, but this is relatively uncommon. However, the presence of underlying conditions that contribute to bone spur formation, such as arthritis, can lead to new bone spur formation over time. It's important to address the underlying cause to help prevent future bone spur growth.
What is foci in a bone scan?
In a bone scan, "foci" refers to specific areas of increased uptake of the radioactive tracer used during the imaging process.
