Arthritis

It can be a contributing factor. as can be osteoporosis.

Although traditionally described as a problem of the joint of the grat toe, so much so that it gets a special name " podagra." However it can impact almost any joint, knee, fingers, spine and the soft tissue where it builds up uric acid crystals.

All of these can be as a result of inflammation brought on by arthritis, however the only way to be sure is to get it checked out by a Rheumatologist and or a neurologist.

Typing can cause repetitive stress syndrome leading to carpal tunnel problems or tennis elbow. Usually this happens if you sit at the wrong height, or type with fingers in isolation. That is the reason people should learn touch typing if they use the computer for any great length of time. Basically if you are feeling pain after typing, you should examine what you are doing wrong. If you ignore the pain for too long, you may end up needing carpal tunnel surgery.

It all depends on if there is inflammation or not aspirin is also an noninflammatory which is handy in quite a lot of arthritis pain problems However if there is no inflammation then a simple analgesic should do the trick.

Not normally Gout tends to attack the extremity's like toes and fingers.

Normally the body filters uric acid and it is removed with urine, however if this function is impaired in some way you end up with a situation where the uric acid turns into crystals that settle in joints usually starting with the big toe. this is an extremely painful condition that can be accompanied with severe swelling around the affected joints. the joints most likely to be affected are in the hands and feet. A diet low in purines is the first suggestion for those suffering from this condition.

It is perfectly fine if the knee cap moves just a little bit, because some people can do that. Though, if the knee cap moves too much, then it becomes a health concern.

The prognosis for pauciarticular JA is quite good, as is the prognosis for spondyloarthropathy. Polyarticular JA carries a slightly worse prognosis. RF-positive polyarticular JA carries a difficult prognosis

if you are asking about uric acid pains, milk acts as a pain-stopping agent, but it does not have a positive affect about stopping the actual acid pain, and it may make it worse.

if you are talking about normal function, it is healthy.

My dad used to be in a wheelchair because of arthritis. So one day when he was at the doctor's the doctor asked him if he ate any grapefruit and my dad told him that he had one every morning. The doctor told him to stop. In a month my dad was out of his wheel chair.

Exercise will not reduce your chance of getting arthritis. You either have it or you don't. However exercise and strong muscles will reduce stress on the joints affected by arthritis and as a result alleviate the pain that so often comes with it.

No but it can be exacerbated as a result of the industry one is engaged in. Osteoarthritis can also appear as the result of injury's brought about by industrial processes A person starts out with the build up that has within it the possibility of OA while some may sustain an injury to the joints and heal up never to be bothered by it Others may develop OA and find that the problem is exacerbated by the weakness or disease.

It depends on what other treatment he is under going.

Lowering the uric acid level in the blood by increasing the excretion of uric acid in the urine with drugs such as probenecid or sulfinpyrazone is another strategy. Keep in mind that aspirin blocks the effect of probenecid and sulfinpyrazone and should not be used at the same time. Where pain medication is required, acethaminophen or ibuprofen can be safely administered instead. Drinking a lot of fluids - at least 3 quarts a day may also help reduce the risk of damage to the joints and kidneys when the excretion of uric acid is increased.

Take medicine to lower your Uric Acid level.
You can't get rid of gout but you can control the flare-ups and change your lifestyle to prevent future episodes. Pain relievers, avoiding certain foods, and controlling stress all help in preventing you from getting it again.

Osteoarthritis is the result of damage done to cartilage to a point where the bones in joints are rubbing on each other. Cartilage has no nerves in it and so long as this smooth layer exists between the bones there is no pain. However as soon as this is gone the bone feels it and you experience pain. When the cartilage and surrounding tissue is eroded to a point where the bone touches in joints the result is the same as osteoarthritis when seen on Xray. So it is imperative that inflammation be kept under control in the case of any inflammatory disease.

Vitamin E has apparently been proven to have substantial benefits for a high percentage of people with night cramps. I experienced night cramping in lower legs and feet for a couple of years. Severity ranged from mild (none to one per night) to severe (> 10 per night requiring me to get out of bed for relief). I found an Internet post that mentioned Vitamin E after going through a full week of severe night cramps. I started that day with two 400 I.U. vitamins per day and experienced an immediate reduction in cramping frequency and intensity. It has now been two months since I started vitamin E. I am sleeping peacefully through the night cramp free!! I can even stretch in bed when waking up and in the past that would have triggered immediate cramping. I reduced dosage to one Vitamin E tablet per day two days ago with no recurrence of cramping so far. I am a 51 year old Caucasian man in reasonably good physical condition (exercise moderately 2 - 3 times per week) that takes 10 mg of Simvastatin per day for moderately elevated chloresterol. I had previously tried stretching legs / feet before bed (which helped some) staying well hydrated with water and / or Gatorade (helped some if I had been particularly active and was dehydrated), and salt (no apparent relief). The night cramps I had been experiencing were different than exercise induced cramping from excessive sports when I was younger (those were thigh / calf typically and were more likely during the activity, but occasionally occurred at night). My night cramps were anywhere from calf, to front of shin area, to top of foot, toes, etc. For me, Vitamin E has had a huge beneficial impact. I don't know how it helps, but it has immensely. Since beginning taking Vitamin E, I have averaged less than one night cramp a week that requires me to get out of bed. Before the treatment, that average would have been closer to 15 per week, .... and it had been > 40 the week before I started.

Yes, there is actually a diet that is known as "arthritis diet." This specific diet will help you understand what foods you may be able to consume, that will actually help with your arthritis. It will also tell you about foods that may aggravate your arthritis, and cause you to feel more pain.

Articular cartilage, is responsible for the low friction and painless, articulation of synovial joints. Articular cartilage consists of a sparse distribution of highly specialized cells known as chondrocytes. These are are embedded in a matrix to provide articular cartilage withwonderful mechanical properties. Chondrocytes make up the tissue matrix macromolecular framework from three classes of molecules known as collagens, proteoglycans, and noncollagenous proteins. The Chondrocytes protect the cells from being damaged as a result of normal joint use, they determine the types and concentrations of molecules reaching the cells, acts as a mechanical signal transducer for the cells, and helps maintain the chondrocyte phenotype. Articular cartilage undergoes internal remodeling Throughout life as cells replace matrix macromolecules lost as a result of degradation. Aging decreases the ability of chondrocytes become less able to maintain and restore articular cartilage leading to an increase in the risk of degeneration of the articular cartilage surface. Progressive degeneration of articular cartilage leads to joint pain and dysfunction. This situation is clinically identified as osteoarthritis. Investigation regarding the pathogenesis of post traumatic osteoarthritis, the form of osteoarthritis that develops following joint injury, is helping to explain the development and progression of joint degeneration.
