Avatar f tn Basically my jaw kept popping in and out of place more frequently since my second go at having braces, which finished up back a year ago or so but it's been getting progressively worse, notably since August I can't open my mouth properly anymore and no I haven't been diagnosed officially by a doctor, last time I went with two complaints, jaw and heart so she told me my heart one was more serious and ignored my jaw.
Avatar f tn This is a genetic condition. Medicines, physiotherapy, exercises and drugs to suppress immunity are the mainstay of treatment. It can also be widespread osteoarthritis. Vit D , calcium, parathyroid and thyroid gland function, and low estrogen too could be a cause. There are chest and neck braces which you can wear and probably surgery will help to some extent. Please discuss with a spine specialist. Take care!
Avatar m tn There is no blood test for osteoarthritis. The blood tests are for various connective tissue disorders. Osteoarthritis can be diagnosed on clinical findings or when it shows up on xrays.

2115734 tn?1334546847 For X number of months (where X can be 3, or 4, or 5 or maybe even 6), I have no physical pain in the RIGHT knee. When OA (osteoarthritis) physical pain starts under the kneecap of the RIGHT knee, I do quad sets for Y number of consecutive days (where Y can be 4, or 5, or 6 or 7 consecutive days) and the physical pain ends again for X number of months. I'd like to swim but know that with no external support around the RIGHT knee there's physical pain while swimming.
Avatar m tn t think that is what you are looking for. What symptoms are you experiencing now? What treatment has the doctor prescribed? What area of your body is effected?
Avatar f tn They do have to do an X-Ray prior to the treatment. I've had my braces for a year and 8 months.
Avatar f tn It could also be associated with skin infections, uric acid, broken leg, Osteoarthritis and such others. You may try home remedies before considering to visit a doctor.
Avatar n tn I had a abcessed tooth. i had just gotten braces and something got stuck in my tooth from my teeth moving. i knew i had it though it hurt extrmely bad. they went in and cleaned the area really good had to numb me 3 times and took xrays couldn't find anything. but like i said the pain was horrible. once they cleaned it they gave me a mouth wash that kept it clean and antibiotics. i felt much better that day.
Avatar f tn He said the Fibro was caused by the Osteoarthritis in my left knee that was found back in 2008, but has never been treated. So, yes, I hurt all over sometimes from the neck down to my toes and sometimes shoulder down to my toes. It is a dull, achy, throbbing pain most of the time, that is worse on the days that I work. I have to wear hand braces at night to keep my hands and arms from waking me numb and tingling. My neck fusion was done in 2007 and my lumbar fusion was in 2005.
Avatar n tn I would suggest you do a great deal of research before you undertake any treatment. For some reason the term Fast braces bothers me.
Avatar n tn Hi it is my first time ever posting on a forum, i need help and advise as to the best way to get help and treatment for pain that im in.
Avatar f tn Treatment of Osteoarthritis consists of exercise, manual therapy, lifestyle modification, medication and other interventions to alleviate pain. If these fail then you go for surgery. Joint replacement surgery may be required. Individuals with very painful OA joints may require surgery such as fragment removal, repositioning bones, or fusing bone to increase stability and reduce pain.

1263295 tn?1269927250 I read your profile, so it's your feet, correct? A lot depends on where in your feet you're having pain. Osteoarthritis of the hindfoot (the bones and joints between your heel and the front of your ankle) is not uncommon. It can be caused by normal wear and tear, or an undiagnosed deformity in the bones. One signal that the problem is in the hindfoot is that the majority of your pain happens when you rotate the foot laterally (side to side, like rolling your ankle).
Avatar m tn t fit braces on my teeth. I really need the braces, and the dentist has frequently tried to dodge around the subject when I've asked them about it. Their excuse is "your teeth are too brittle and fitting braces could damage them even more", this isn't my fault as I have always looked after my teeth, but my adult teeth grew through badly and the enamel quickly wore down weakening my teeth.
Avatar m tn In your case if you are not very physically active you may not need to go in for a surgery. You can opt for a more conservative form of treatment in the form of physiotherapy, medication etc. The drawback in this case it may progress to osteoarthritis later on and then you may need a total knee replacement at a very late stage. Well I would say the call is yours to make. I suggest another orthopaedicians view to assess your condition so as to know whether you really need the surgery now.
1069378 tn?1255215132 Has anyone used acupuncture successfully to eliminate the pain from osteoarthritis? Does anyone know which treatment has had more success treating the pain of osteoarthritis, acupuncture or synvisc injections? Any help is appreciated.
Avatar f tn I lost my Upper left 15 tooth in 2002 after a failed root canal treatment. It was extracted. Over the years Tooth 16 was over-errupting into the gap left by Tooth 15. I recently had a dental crown fitted. The dentist has made a long dental crown, over Tooth 16, extending to Tooth 14 so that the gap left by Tooth 15 is covered by the crown. It is a procelain on metal crown.
