Thank you very much! Very informative, detailed and clear explanation, I wish more people found your videos.

Very informative. My primary doctor told me that there was no treatment for osteoarthritis.

Excellent! Thank you sooooooo much. I had surgery three years ago on my index finger (right hand). It was fused at the knuckle (two small screws) and was a fantastic success after suffering hugely for a few years. The limited movement in that finger is almost non existent... and absolutely not a big deal in terms of quality of life. I had to wait two years 'in the cue' for the procedure but well worth it. And I remain so grateful! The surgeon (and team here in Canada) were fabulous! Out of day surgery within a few hours. Now my wrist , base of the thumb (same right hand) has been giving me grief / pain issues but I have found the "Push" splint works wonderfully. I do hike vigorously 5 miles most mornings and I find that very helpful as well for all my bones :) For me, staying fit, is crucial. I am 78 yrs. old.

thank you, just what I needed to hear. I have an appointment in a few weeks so I feel more prepared.

My bouchard node pain (on movement only) disappeared with medication that reduced uric acid levels from 7.5 mg/cl to 4.4. Is my case unique or does the disposition of sharp uric acid crystals tend to occur on osteoarthritis joints first?

hes my consultant in cardiff

My right hand started deforming in 2021, now I can't use my index or middle finger, middle finger is basically stuck ram rod straight. Most days I want to take the fingers off! Etedolac is useless now.

Where does severe erosive arthritis in hands and wrists fall into this treatment?

Is it common for the pain just to instantly appear? Three weeks ago I got excruciating pain in my left hand, my Doctor thought it was a sprain but I couldn’t remember having one. After 2 weeks I had an X-Ray and it indicated that I broke “smashed was my Doctor’s description” my left hand when I was young. This I cannot remember. Tonight the left side of my left hand above the wrist is showing considerable swelling and no amount of ibuprofen is decreasing the pain. The pain seems to pulse at the same rate of my heart beat. Two things happened before the pain materialised. 1/ I was referred to the hospital pain clinic because it was deemed that I was on too strong pain killers for to long, I had lost half my stomach and had a colostomy bag for over a year. I was also on a very high dose of Parnate. Unfortunately even though the pain Doctor knew I was on Parnate he prescribed a pain killer to help me sleep and reduce the pain. I took it and struggled to breathe the next morning. My psychiatrist identified this medication as something that should not be prescribed with Parnate. The mixture of the drugs effect the heart. Could this effect my hand and wrist as the pain seems to be throbbing in time to my heart? 2/ A week after the medication mixup I caught Covid and was proscribed the Antivirals. Could this be a factor.

If u have a fusion can you have the pin removed? What’s the result? My pin is beginning to slightly poke thru my tip of my finger?!😳

Goodpoast

If it's still a problem! Are you serious? Top Doctor? i shudder to think of the calibre of the rest.

ah the classic trick by another surgeon, specifically at 9.49. if you fail for conservative treatment? really? are you serious? it is not if but when. and if you simply check various fb groups, you can see half the patients are still in pain. this is rolling a dice. and let me correct you, all operations remove the joint regardless. good luck with your surgery practice as a member of top doctors!

Try keto/carnivore before surgery.
