osteoarthritis

Avatar n tn Causes of knee swelling include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, pseudogout, infection, trauma, and tumors. Causes of generalized swelling (edema) include heart failure, kidney failure, and liver failure (cirrhosis).
Avatar n tn Hi, It is good that xray and MRI of the knee and other tests showed good results. Was there blood test done? This will help rule out infection or presence of gout. Knee pain usually results from arthritis (rheumatoid, osteoarthritis, and gout), baker's cyst, bursitis, connective tissue disorders such as lupus, dislocation of the kneecap, iIliotibial band syndrome, infection or any trauma or abnormalities in the structures in the knee.
Avatar n tn Similarly if you were prone for arthritis such as osteoarthritis, the period of inactivity could have aggravated the arthritis and hence swollen joints. There are various causes of multiple joint pains like osteoarthritis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic pathology, thyroid problems etc. Please consult an orthopedic specialist regarding this. There are no swollen joints associated with inactivity alone as the cause. However inactivity aggravates an existing joint condition like arthritis.

Avatar m tn / I knew my condition was bad b/c of the amount of pain I am in but wasn't expecting that especially @ 32 with a 4 yr old and 7 month old!! Anyways, he adviced pain meds and synvisc-one injections until we couldn't control the pain enough. I tried the injections. I won't lie the are a bit painful. My right one was just uncomfortable. The left one hurt way worse. I have no idea why but it even swelled up and I had to stay off it about 24 hours b/c of all the fluid on it.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosis with serum sickness after I was first diagnosed with gout. My uric acid level was 5.2 is that high enough to cause gout? I have had pain in my knees, shoulder and fingers for the past 5 months. How much longer will it last?
1678656 tn?1369233818 ) Is gout something that is recurring? I also searched bone spurs and osteoarthritis. A friend of mine, also with MS, has some form of arthritis, but I cannot remember what type. It seems that she said it was osteo--but my memory fails me. Currently, I'm relying on my mother in law to get me to my appointments so I have been trying to figure it out so I know what to mention to my dr. by the time I'm able to get to see her. Just so many things out there that it could be anything.

Avatar m tn Rarely ill get one in my knee an my knee will visually be swollen and very painful to the touch and to walk on. I'll usually have only one at a time although occasionally two. They will come on slow over the course of a day in which time I'll usually just take some motrin which helps alot. Then this will only last about 2-3 days This indicates to me that it is a type of inflammation. If I don't take any motrin It will last roughly 4-5 days and will be significantly more painful.
Avatar m tn Every joint in my body throbs and around them ache,it is very hard to walk. I dislocated my knee 10 years ago since then pain is all I feel. Its been about a year and half since the rest of my joints started giving me trouble. I always feel exhausted and seems to have had a little bit of memory trouble. I don't sleep to great to often. When the pain goes down enough I can get some rest, but most of the time when I wake up my feet ankles and legs have a weird sensation.

Avatar f tn A clicking sound in a joint along with pain is a sign of arthritis. It can be rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout or a reactive arthritis to a drug or infection. You will need an X-ray of the joint along with other tests like RA factor and test for gout. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!

Avatar n tn Hi Dr Ghosh My dad just came home today, and he told me that the pain is the same pain he felt while he had a gout attack in September, however, it's not on his right knee anymore. He's feeling the pain on the front area of his foot/big toe and the toe next to it. Is this still gout?
Avatar n tn Thanx for the help. I had a flare up of my left ankle Thursday which caused swelling and a lot of pain. I iced it and rested it as much as I could . Yesterday I notced pain and swelling in my knee but not enough to keep me from walking.Today its real bad so much so I'm using a cane. Very hard to put pressure on it. Most of the pain seems to be coming on the right side and behind the knee. I can't make my leg straight. I have had gout in the past but never in my knee.
Avatar f tn A traumatic injury or ankle sprain is common cause of ankle swelling and pain. Other causes are rheumatoid arthritis, gout, vascular obstruction etc.In osteoarthritis there are degenerative changes and damage to the articular cartilage. Diagnosis of osteoarthritis is confirmed by physical examination and X-rays of the ankle joint. Medications like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are being used as they are effective in reducing the pain of OA in all joints.

Avatar f tn I am so sorry to read you are suffering a flare that is affecting both of your feet. It is possible for Gout to affect more than one joint at a time. It sounds like you may be suffering from the chronic form of Gout. Did your doctor have you stop taking the Colchicine and Allopurinol? Are you using hot or cold compresses to relieve the pain? Has your doctor talked to you about a low purine diet?
