I’m 20, and have been diagnosed with scoliosis and also degenerative arthritis (either rheumatoid or osteo – still have to do blood work to find out). Being as young as I am, what can I expect the future to hold for me concerning these problems?

Also, my spine apparently curves the opposite way in which it would normally go in most people (I think to the left maybe? I’m not sure, just the other way than normal).

my mom has had rheumatoid arthritis for about 9 years now, and she had a knee replacement about 6 years ago… lately her arthritis has been causing her a lot of pain that she loses sleep over… medications that her doc gives her do not help. Are there any natural remedies or vitamins she can take to help ease the pain?

I can’t really run because of my arthritis so running is out of the question. It needs to be something that is low impact on my joints but can help me loose weight. I want to loose 30 pounds before the beginning of high school on september 7th. Thanks for the help!

i want to do bowling in high school this year. i am pretty good at it so i’m pretty sure i will make the team. but practice is like everyday and it will be strain on my joints. i don’t have sever arthritis but i do always have pain in most of my joints. so would it be a good idea to do bowling this year? if it makes a difference i am 14.

I’m 13 and yes, I have arthritis, but my hands were hurting because I’ve been cornroling (braiding) a lot of hair today so I took some pills. I wasn’t paying attention until now and now it’s getting hard for me to swallow water and soda. What should I do?

Me and my dad are just alike and neither one of us has ever had any medical problems. My dad does have really bad arthritis though now that he’s in his 50’s. Almost to the point where it’s crippling. I just turned 25. What are some things I could start doing to prevent getting this condition as well?

Is it good to give my dog Triple Flex for arthritis? And does it have aspirin in it? And what are the side effects if given to dog?

Some Arthritis sufferers are said to be able to "feel" rain is on the way, or feel more acute symptoms even though they may be indoors during rainy or colder weather.

Why?

Any hard evidence?

Any web links?

Thanks!

Our dog is almost 8 years old and we think he has Arthritis. We are going to a vet soon, but we wanted to know how much it is going to cost. Also, would he have to take it the rest of his life?

Any other information would be helpful!

Thank you!

One doctor diagnosed pain in that area and wrote a prescription for Calebrex. One person said tomotoes contribute to arthritis and another said the lipotene in tomatoes help. to ease the condition. What are your comments?

I found out there is a place down the street that does water classes for people with arthritis and I was curious if anyone found them to beneficial if they had mild to moderate arthritis. Thanks!

I used to run 5ks in my teens & 20’s but my body hurts a lot these days (I’m 33). I have a friend with 3 kids who just ran her first 10k. She ran the whole thing without walking. I’m jealous! And I miss that RUSH that comes from running. Could I still do it even though I’ve got arthritis?

She limps a lot because of her arthritis and sometimes i even rub her shoulders…its not like im pampering her its just that i want her to be able to climb our stairs. haha. So does anyone know any good dog foods for arthritis?…for dogs

I’ve got some arthritis in my ankles, my ankle gets swollen sometimes and the podiatrist said it’s from instability.. I’m trying to figure out what kind of shoe or sandal do I need in order to accommodate this problem?
I’m guessing nothing that "wobbles" but what else should I look for?

and i have a few more questions how do you prevent rheumatoid arthritis and if you anyone knows any websites where i can find out these answers it would be really helpful. because i need to do a project on this and this is all i need. oh and what is the life expectancy if someone has r.a.

I have arthritis in both my hands. I live on asprin and it takes most of the pain away but my hands still feel swollen and stiff. Is there any over the counter meds or treatment that works better than asprin. I hate Ibuprophin!
I am an artist by trade so I really need my hands. Please help

I have a friend that has RA. She needs her medications, but the doctor she use to go to will not give her a prescription for it. She really needs HELP! Is there an organization for people that have rheumatoid arthritis?
She is on Medicare and Medicaid and totally disabled, with a fixed income.

I suspect I may have arthritis in my right thumb — all of a sudden it’s steadily painful, but I am only guessing (I have not yet consulted my doctor). I wonder if using one of those hand exercisers would be a helpful thing to do, or would it just make matters worse? I’m talking about those items you grip and then squeeze together.

I crack my knuckles at least every 3 – 5 minutes and i’m getting told to stop because it can cause arthritis. Is it true?

My mom suffers from severe arthritis from her hands all the way to her elbows, she can’t sleep comfortably. Is there a way to relieve these symptoms so that she can get a good nights sleep??
Maybe a heated sleeve??

I have wanted to become one almost all my life but i have had arthritis since I was 9. So can I become one even though i have arthritis.
My dad says that it is not possible.

I read that you can give a dog aspirin (not tylenol) for arthiritis?

what else can be given to them for their joints and arthritis? That does not cost a bunch of money?

My father broke his ankle in 3 places last fall and had to have screws to repair it. It will still bother him if hes on it for long periods of time. Hes almost 60 and I think hes got arthritis in it now. He is a carpenter by trade and has to be on his feet everyday. Does anyone know if infered heat will help him get some relief? Or any other suggestions? He does take meds for his heart and for cholesterol too. So yes, hes already on asprin.

My mother has been suffering from pains all over her body. The pains are very intense. Yesterday she had a low grade fever verging on the boundary of a real fever. Can arthritis cause light fever?
