RA patients are more likely to have dupytrens contractures as well.

I have a friend who had taken traditional medicine and a diet plan from Nze Njoku Herbal Home to treat Arthritis and High Blood Pressure and for some years now he looks normal. From severe pain always a sick guy for some years Now he looks so healthy and enjoying normal productive life😊 Praise God.

Would a diagnosis of morphea (affecting the lower legs), a skin condition caused by an autoimmune disorder, would morphea have a strong correlation with early stage RA? According to this explanation RA can involve other organs of the body such as the skin. So my answer would be "yes." Although I've been experiencing the symptoms of RA as described in this video for the past 6-8 weeks, my rheumatologist has made a diagnosis of OA and the prescribed meds are providing no relief from the pain, and stiffness. Thank you for this series of videos regarding OA and RA!

Just discovered your channel. I was diagnosed by osteoarthritis for my right arm when I was 35. Now, I'm 40 years old and feel some hip pain and the pills help. My father suffer the same for his right side, but my uncle suffer from rheumatoid arthritis chronically from his childhood. So, I believe our family joints are not that strong 😅. Exercises given are boring and I've tried badminton 🏸 recently and loved the game. I'm planning to go to court occasionally, but worried about my arm. Should I take rest or playing such a game is okay ? 2nd question is Physiotherapy. Most of the people say really helped, some say after a while it'll be the same. I always neglected myself about these pains, but it's getting worse in years.

If having pain with an exercise, either reduce intensity or stop. And of course get evaluated to determine cause of your pain.

Thank you for the videos, they are very helpful. I was diagnosed with RA at age 23. Then diagnosed with OA . I was told I couldn't take medication for RA due to having Tuberculosis when I was 12. Is this still true in 2022?

@ChicagoArthritis Жыл бұрын

If your TB was previously treated, then you can be treated with medication for your RA.

@tshomo-507_Nimble 9 ай бұрын

I guess that is not true because I cured from TB in 2022, and now, after being diagnosed with RA, I am taking the PA medication.

Thank you for making another informative video. For over 30 years I've been dealing with RA, followed by Hashi, Sjodren's, Cushing's and recently Drug - induced Lupus. I've been told that additionally I have OsteoArthritis and Degenerative Bone Disease, Osteoporosis. My DEXA showed a small amount of OsteoPena. Since the RA stopped responding to the meds, the only one that kept me walking was low dose (20 mg) prednisone. None of the RA drugs are safe to take, most are deadly. My Drs all copy each others opinion, that prednisone is to blame . I tried to get Emergortho to give me Stem cell therapy, but was told that I'm too old. Is there an age limit? I'm 63 and determined to get my health back.

@ChicagoArthritis Ай бұрын

Sorry to hear about your challenges. In general there is no age limitation for cell based therapies.

@ChicagoArthritis Thank you for responding. Do you and your center provide this type of stem cells, for patients with autoimmune diseases and osteoporosis? Have they been successful? The fractured vertebrae are feeling better when they have kyphoplasty. Nine out of ten are repaired. Presently, there is a fracture at T5. I'm still looking for a specialist that has the ability and perhaps a method that uses stem cell. Ideally, I want a method that will help my bones and joints to become more dense and strong. Are these possibilities? It would be fantastic, not to have surgery for my knees, hips, hands, fingers, feet and toes.

@simhifree We utilize bone marrow concentrate stem cells and platelet plasma to treat osteoarthritis, tendinitis, and back pain. We do not use it to treat generalized inflammation or osteoporosis.

Can you have both RA & OA ? Being on Anastrozole after chemo and radiation is not good either 😟

@ChicagoArthritis 2 жыл бұрын

Yes definitely you can have both RA and OA. A Rheumatologist should be able to differentiate and guide you appropriately in treatment for both conditions.

Hi, How do you treat knee bursitis and knee swelling due to osteoarthritis?

@ChicagoArthritis Ай бұрын

Great question. We will make a video to address this specific question. In short: 1. Correct biomechanics that might be driving instability and leading to inflammation. 2. Take the correct supplements that can help with pain and inflammation. Mainly glucosamine, omega-3, curcumin. 3. Utilize regenerative medicine treatment options to help treat instability and inflammation. This would include platelet rich plasma as well as bone marrow concentrate stem cell treatment options.

@@ChicagoArthritis what about applying a combination of ice and heat together?

@ChicagoArthritis Ай бұрын

Worth a try. It can help with inflammation and pain short term.

Tendonitis sir i am suffering from Tendonitis pain just confirmed by a professional dr, besides i practice homeopathy myself, but even treating them separately did not work, can you suggest some allopathic medicines which i can easily get in india without requiring a prescription?

Before starting medication, makes sure you are using omega3, curcumin, and glucosamine chondroitin supplements.

my dr suspects RA, i have swelling in fingers both hands,pain in wrists,ankles ,knees, elbows and shoulders. Steroids helped alot.All my blood works came back negative for RA . pain bad what could it be ?

@ChicagoArthritis 11 ай бұрын

If your physician thinks you have inflammatory arthritis, ask them whether starting a disease modifying medication may be warranted.

I swear I think I have RA; I’m negative on the bloodwork. I’ve had 9 surgeries within 4 years. Started at 53. My surgeon says rheumatoid. My rheumatologist says severe osteoarthritis 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have pain in the ends of my fingers and toes, not at the same time, it will be in one finger, then disappears after a few seconds or a minute, then appear in another finger or toe later on. Can be constant switching between fingers or toes all day, or have no pain or just a few twinges. No swelling, no problems at all with joints, no pins and needles, just this damn pain. Appeared suddenly one day out of the blue, been like it for 2 months, had bloods done, vit b12 was 117pg doc said should be 192 or more, but i doubt that's the cause as i have zero symptoms of a b12 deficiency, and taking high strength b12 sprays pills etc dont help. Anyone ever heard of such a thing? Only thing i did the day before it happened that i would not usually do is eat some cooked pulled pork from a butchers...Pain feels like someone pushing a blunt knife on to the top of my nail, or hitting it with a hammer, not full force but about mid force. Its very weird. Once the pain is gone i can bring it back sort of by pushing on the area that hurt, but only for a short while then it goes back to normal. Been tested for diabetes, thyroid, liver, kidney issues, vit deficiency, blood count, blood cells, anemia, cholesterol and a few others i forget, only issue b12. Nothing at all on the entire internet seems similar and doc seems clueless also.Befre this i would sometimes get pains in arms and legs that felt similar but they were few and far between, not in the joins, more tendons if anything. Any vids about anything similar?
