if there is no pain associated with the joint cracks or pops, this may be caused by the soft tissue in a joint. Knee popping may also occur if the patella is slightly out of alignment, and rubs on the adjacent tissues. Other causes of joint noise is the snapping of tendons or scar tissue over a prominence, or cavitation. Cavitation occurs in synovial joints when a small vacuum forms in the synovial fluid and a rapid release produces a sharp popping or cracking sound.

Our diet is driven by profiteers and it’s also caused a 5000% increase in type 2 diabetes since the 1970s. Stop eating crap and buy pasture raised meats, dairy and butter. Cut back on fruit as it has too much sugar and sugar in any form is an enemy of your gut. Organic non-GMO fresh vegetables only. No vegetable oils, no corn oil and no soy or safflower oil or canola. Use unrefined extra virgin cold-pressed oils such as coconut, olive, walnut or avocado.

Gout is not an autoimmune condition. It is caused by the bodies inability to process uric acid. These crystals build up in joints and cause extreme pain. Autoimmune conditions are caused by the immune system going haywire and attacking itself. Gout can sometimes be misdiagnosed as RA, bursitis, osteoarthritis and reactive arthritis among others.

When I person has a biopsy of the liver the amount of fibrosis (scaring (septa) caused by injury done to the liver done by a chronic hep C virus infection) is graded on a scale using the METAVIR system.

osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition. It is caused by the breakdown of cartilage and is often associated with aging. It can be assisted along the way by injuries. There is no cure for osteoarthritis. Treatments include NSAIDs and pain management, maintaining a normal weight and exercise.

Degenerative joint disease refers to osteoarthritis, is a type of arthritis caused by bones in the pelvis rubbing against each other (wear and tear). This is very common, occurs as you get older, and typically not worrisome.

No, osteoarthritis is not auto immune and the sed rate is only relevant when the immune system is involved. A high sed reate and C-Reactive protein is common in many different auto immune types of arthritis. Are you seeing a rheumatologist?

Avascular necrosis is when the blood supply to the bone is cut off and the bone "dies" from lack of blood It does usually target the knees and or femur. There is good info out there on it, you can go to MayoClinic.com or just Google the word and a ton of info will pop up. My ex has it so I knew what it was. Good luck to you.

s usually caused by osteoarthritis. Interferon can make any problems you had before treatment worse.

Rectal bleeding is serious especially if it is black like tar - that is dead blood which means it is internal bleeding. That happened to me twice and I almost died - had to have 2 complete blood transfusions - of course I never told anyone I was an alcoholic. Get the alcoholic partner to the E.R. Get yourself to Al Anon. E.R. saved my physical life / Al Anon saved my marriage / AA continues to save both! Best of luck to you both.

Serum sickness only lasts for a few days after exposure to antiserum or medication that caused it. Gout usually only affects one joint at a time. So your joint pains to me anyway sound more like osteoarthritis. But your own doctors are in the best position to advise.

We have worked and had children but none of us have the work history that usually contributes to Osteoarthritis. I live in a town full of carpet mills and alot of women have osteoarthritis from working in the mills but me nor the other 3 women have. There really is no reason for us to have OA.

s not a rheumatologist thing necessarily but it does indicate either you are deficient in your magnesium and/or calcium, which can be caused by overdoing calcium and not tending to your magnesium, such as by using a lot of dairy. They need to be electrical balance to have strong bones. Or it could be you injured yourself years ago and it's evolved to this because the injury wasn't treated properly.

I suffer from osteoarthritis. I have had to stop taking the Ibuprofen because it caused my legs to swell. Dr. said that Ibuprofen can cause odema.

Pain worse when sitting or lying down and feels better with movement is usually caused by ankylosing spondylitis. This is a genetic condition. Medicines, physiotherapy, exercises and drugs to suppress immunity are the mainstay of treatment. A back pain or a referred pain due to a nerve pinched that is worse on lying down or felt mainly on lying down can also be due to a tumor within the spinal cord. A neurological examination can pinpoint the site. A CT scan or a MRI will be surely required.

Moreover it has to be differentiated from other causes of such symptoms like low amounts of potassium, sodium, calcium, or magnesium in the blood, muscle fatigue or strain from overuse, tendonitis,osteomyelitis,osteoarthritis, nerve damage- Sciatic nerve pain (radiating pain down the leg) caused by a slipped disk in the back., Benign tumors or cysts of the femur or tibia and osteosarcoma. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional queries.

In general, the syndrome is caused by incorrect posture, repetitive injuries, over use of joints due to particular work or due to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases etc.

Thanks for your reply. My goal is to reduce my BP to my preimplant levels. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor. I have been monitoring my BP since returning home and it does seem to be returning to my normal values, but it took 4 days. My concern was why my BP rose as strongly as it did.

Are there different types of osteoarthritis, or is there a kind that is systemic? What causes osteoarthriti to become diffuse? (I also have stiff sore muscles and feel ill. It is hard for me to walk too long. My muscle symptoms are not diagnosed, and I hope someone can put the pieces together.) Thank you to anyone who can help me.

You probably have the onset of osteoarthritis which usually is first noticed in the hip, especially when lying on it in bed.

Hi, How are you? Degenerative arthritis is also called osteoarthritis or "wear and tear" arthritis. It is a form of arthritis that causes the gradual breakdown of the cartilage that cushions the joints. Movement then causes the bones to rub against each other, which is painful. Degenerative arthritis is characterized by inflammation, breakdown and eventual loss of the cartilage of the joints. This can be caused by obesity, bad posture, repeated trauma or injury, and overuse.

Those are pseudo-exacerbations - a flare of our MS symptoms caused by infection or increase in our body temperature. The good news is those also go away once you clear up the infection. Sorry but I had to chuckle quietly as I read your message because I have done the same thing - oblivious to the possibility until it finally dawns on me that I am in the bathroom for the twentieth time or so before noon.
