Arthritis

I don't believe there are many specialists for this. I work as a soft tissue treatment adviser and this is my take on it. Because your joints are inflamed, your blood flow has been constricted. You want to focus on a form of treatment that will promote circulation to the area (ie. massage therapy, ultrasound, BFST, acupuncture, etc.). The increased blood flow will help lubricate the joints, giving you a wider range of motion and less stiffness. I personally recommend the BFST as you can do this in the comfort of your own home, as many times as you'd like. Based on my experience, some arthritic sufferers prefer cold, some prefer heat. Cold is always important to reduce the inflammation, but after a time of cold, you want to start increasing the circulation again. There are so many benefits of increase blood flow.

It can be simply a tendon or ligament that is very slightly off position and clicks back into position as it puts itself back into place with movement. It can also be a sign of tendinitis if there is repetitive motion of those joints or other chronic stresses that could cause the tendon to become inflamed (like in "tennis elbow") . This can also occur if you have arthritis in those joints since there is often too little synovial fluid and perhaps too much wear on the joint cartilage (or even down to the bone) from the disease process that rubs and clicks when moved. If there is pain associated or weakness, numbness or other concerning symptoms, you should get an exam from a health care professional.

There is none that stands out. Gout had been with us for all of human history and it is not until recently that we have been able to relieve ( but necessarily stop) the pain involved. This is done with anti inflammatory and analgesics (pain killers) and with these come the side effects that may at times be a concern. However pain in itself can be a thing that leaves effects that harm the body and spirit, so it is all a mater of balancing it all out.

Chronic pain in the knee and hip is caused by osteoarthritis, or degeneration of the joints. This is primarily caused by advancing age as the cartilage tissue, which protects the joints, gets weaker. This wear and tear with age lead to osteoarthritis, one of the most common forms of arthritis across the world.

Other reasons for osteoarthritis include injury to the joints, obesity, and heredity — wherein a person has inherited a defective cartilage gene. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include chronic pain in joints; loss of range of motion in the joints; reduced flexibility leading to pain while performing daily activities; joint swelling and tenderness and stiffness in joints leading to limping, especially in the morning.

Doctors take a step-by-step treatment plan to tackle osteoarthritis, through pain medications, physiotherapy, and steroidal treatment. But if non-surgical treatments fail, then a joint replacement, whether hip or knee, is the next step.

Ranka Hospital, Pune provides treatment for osteoarthritis.

Your arm doesnt fall asleep that's just a silly way to say it, your arm needs blood to move. just like a few days ago my arm fell asleep cause i slept on it ( 7-5 hours straight) when i woke up my arm felt dead i tried moving my fingers but nothing, i tried moving my arm but i can just carry it along with me, my shoulder holding it up. it eventually "woke up" or i finally could move my fingers but not so easily then after atleast 1- 3 minutes my arm returned to normal. maybe you should try this, sleep on your arm when you wake up your arm should be asleep, if not then you move too much in your sleep, try another option, lay on your arm for atleast 10-20 minutes. if your patient. and get up your arm shouldn't be moving when you try to but yeah answering your question [ cause there isn't no blood circulation into it ] .

exercises are not seen as part of the way to control Uric acid in the system. this is done with a controlled diet and and medications as prescribed or other alternative methods.

Arthritis affects over 285,000 American children for example.

Crohn's can affect the joints. See the related link below for more information.

The inflammation that appears with both Crohn's and UC often shows up in other area's of the body like joints.

The symptoms are pain, swelling and joint stiffness that flare up and then go away, then flare up again. The more severe the IBD the more severe the arthritis.

When the joints are involved in combination with IBD the diagnosis is call IBD Arthritis.

Treatment often amounts to moist heat and cold packs, bed rest when severe,non steroidal anti- inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen.

A water bed. It would be best to have it raised for some as getting out of a water bed when the joints in the legs or hips are strained can be difficult.

This affect has been noticed since the dawn of time and has for a long time been a point of contention betweenarthritis sufferers. some feel the affect of weather and some don't The reason for this effect is to date still not known.

There is not necessarily any difference and the treatment is also the same. However is is far more likely that a child that has suffered from juvenile arthritis may not have any more problems with it in later years.

The body produces purines and purines are also introduced into the body as a result of diet. these are turned into uric acid in the blood stream. the kidney is supposed to remove most of it and some goes via the large intestine. If the body is unable to dispose of this material then the uric acid turns into sharp crystals that are the cause of gout.

c-reactive protein is elevated during inflammation...its released by ur body to help in the inflammatory process, it helps in the activation of complement system. CRP is an acute phase protein and can be raised in many circumstances including Acute and chronic infections, vasculitis, connective tissue diseases, arthritis

this would depend on the individual/ there is no definitive evidence that it does. However there are many individuals that swear humidity has an effect on the severity of their symptoms.

There is no specific age for gout. Usually its mid 30's to 40's, but anyone can get if they eat foods that raise uric acid levels. I'm 24 and I had a gout attack.

It can also hapen as a result of kidney problems.

Normally, uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either produces too much uric acid or your kidneys excrete too little uric acid. If your body is working correctly then eating foods high in purines will not lead to gout.

A bony outgrowth usually found around the joint area. Osteophytes are bone spurs that may arise from bone margins either in response to repetitive traction or osteoarthrosis affecting a joint margin. They may secondarily cause pain by impingement upon or distortion of adjacent structures, innervated tissues or nerves

Arthritis relief can come from the use of NSAID's like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen. Injections have also been know to relieve arthritis pain. Relief can also come from natural procedures or techniques such as acupuncture, massage, yoga, and relaxation/meditation.

Arthritis in the spine is called Ankylosing Spondylitis..... It is a chronic inflammatory form of arthritis that mainly affects the joints of the spine (vertebrae). Inflammation, swelling and irritation cause back pain and stiffness. Over time, people living with AS tend to stoop forward. This leads to a rounding of the back. In severe cases, vertebrae may fuse together causing the spine to stiffen. This results in a major loss of movement.

Inflammation of the tendons and ligaments that connect and support the vertebrae can cause pain and tenderness in the ribs, shoulder blades, hips, thighs, shins, heels, as well as along the bony points of the spinal column. However the main problem with AS involves the lower back joints where the spine joins the pelvis (known as the sacroiliac or SI joints).

AS may affect different people in different ways. Some people have only temporary episodes of back pain. Others have more chronic severe back pain that may lead to stiffness of the spine over time.

Between 150,000 and 300,000 Canadians (as many as 1 in 100) have AS. It is three times more common in men than in women. Statistics show that it takes a longer time for the disease to be diagnosed in women.

Acupuncture can be used as a complementary therapy to modern fertility

treatments (IVF) or on its own as an alternative way of treating fertility

problems and has been proven to be especially beneficial to boast fertility and

maintain a healthy pregnancy.

In Chinese medicine one of the main functions of the kidney is reproduction,

growth and development. If there are any qi imbalances in either the man or the

women then becoming pregnant and conceiving could be difficult. By restoring

harmony and balance in the body especially the kidneys using acupuncture you are:

Increasing blood flow to the uterus, helping ovarian functions.

Regulating ovulation by balancing hormonal and endocrinal systems.

Regulating the menstrual cycle.

Greatly reducing stress and anxiety which can cause imbalances in the body

effecting normal functions.

Increasing sperm production in men

Acupuncture is safe and totally natural for the treatment of infertility and

increasing the chances of conceiving a baby.

The glenohumeral joint (The shoulder) normally functions through a wide range of motions in a smooth, congruent fashion. When the articular surfaces of the humeral head or the glenoid are damaged, the smooth, fluid motion is compromised, and arthritis commonly is the result.

Yes your diet can affect your bones. Certain foods are good for bone health and other foods can be harmful to your joints. Depending on the types of foods you eat, you may find that your arthritis flares up.
