Arthritis

A low erythrocyte sedimentation rate (sed. rate or ESR) indicates that inflammation is low in the body "sed". rate or ESR is a measurement of the speed with which red blood cells fall in a test tube of blood. As inflammation in the blood goes up inflammatory substances attach to red blood cells making them heavier and causing them to settle more quickly. In healthy persons with no inflammation the "sed" rate is low. The "sed" rate doesn't point to any particular disease, but is a general indication of the amount of inflammation in the body. In lupus and polymyalgia rheumatica, the ESR often correlates with disease. uric acid being high can indicate anything from kidney problems to a predisposition to high uric acid content in the blood that needs to be monitored.

Gout can do this. This is a form of arthritis that is caused by excess uric acid being formed in the body.

"Much has been written regarding the role of the nightshade family of foods. The connection between rheumatoid arthritis and these foods was originally made by Childers, a horticulturist, who found that eliminating foods of the nightshade family cured his arthritis. While his theory--that long-term consumption of the alkaloids in potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, paprika, cayenne, and tobacco inhibit collagen and cartilage repair--has never been proven, it is true that some patients find relief from their symptoms when they eliminate these foods. There is an animal model for arthritis: if cows are mistakenly given fodder that is heavily laced with wild-growing nightshade family plants, they actually develop a type of osteoarthritis. Anyone who suffers from arthritis could try avoiding these foods for a month and then gradually reintroducing them to see whether they affect the symptoms." Nathan Wei, MD, FACP, FACR

its synthetically fortified water. basically, its junk food with a bunch of harmful chemicals in it and very cheap proteins that do nothing for you.

It could be a tendon problem (not enough exercise) and possibly a lack of calcium in your diet. See your doctor and perhaps you can see a physio therapist to help with this.

it is arthritis in the shoulder joint, the collarbone (clavicle), the shoulder blade , and the arm bone . The scapula and clavicle form the socket of the joint The humerus has a round head that fits within this socket. The end of the scapula is called the acromion, and the joint between this part of the scapula and clavicle is called the acromio-clavicular joint, or AC joint. When this joint wears thin, it is called acromioclavicular (or AC) arthritis.

You can't get rid of it..but you can make it better. It really depends on what type of arthritis you have..(osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.) Loosing weight and exercise helps both kinds. Strengthening the muscles, ligaments, and tendons around the arthritic joints helps to support them and slow the damage.

Yes this condition can be fixed.
