Common Questions and Answers about Osteoarthritis and bursitis
osteoarthritis
Now 10 years later, I have it in both shoulders, and pain when I walk, in my left arch and right ankle. Once my ring finger knuckle hurt for a year. The doc said the X-Ray showed no knuckle between the finger bones. Is this a case of disappearing joints? I've tried glucosamine chondroitin and shark cartilage but I can't see any noticeable improvements. Is there any way to resolve (aside from pain killers and drugs that have unknown or risky side affects)?
Then eventually in June I was offered xrays and a CT scan which showed up slight osteoarthritis in both hips. Would the osteo have caused the bursitis? Also have a burning sensation down the front of my thighs. Then two months ago I started having pins and needles in my right hand quite a bit during the day. I was sent to physio but this wasn't any help at all and at present am waiting the letter from the physio direct to my doctor discharging me and suggesting what to do next.
The other causes for the pain are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Arthritis or bursitis can produce pain in the joints. Arthritis is inflammation of the joints. Bursa are sac like structures above and below the joints which helps in the movement of the tendons around the joints. These can get inflamed causing bursitis. If the pain persists consult your doctor for an evaluation. Regards.
I was diagnosed with bursitis a few months ago ,its so painful can't sleep on my right side got a cortisone shot and that helped a Lil bit.now I turned 42 in may this year ,I swear the next I felt this horrible slight burning pain in both my arms that I feel in my shoulders and goes all the way to my hands.I'm so worried that this has something to do with bursitis, or thar my bursitis was misdiagnosed and it's arthritis.
t go away. First of all I got bursitis in both shoulders, then tendonitis in both elbows and wrists. I now have tendonitis in both hips and pain In both knees which I haven't had looked at yet. I have had blood tests for arthritis, Osteoarthritis and connective tissue disorders. All came back clear. These were all reviewed by a specialist who said there was nothing he could see that could be causing the problems. So now I have no idea what to do??
0cm parameniscal cyst extending inferiorly along the medial margin of the proximal tibial metaphysis. Osteoarthritis most prominently involving the medial and lateral tibia-femoral compartments with mild subchondral reactice bone marrow edema and early subchondral cystic change, and Pes Anserine bursitis.
I had a shoulder decompression and rotator cuff tear repair about 5 years ago, A few months ago I had a ultrasound which showed a full thickness tear, bursitis and osteoarthritis, went to see a ortho surgeon who then got me to have a MRI scan. The scan showed no tear but alot of fluid in the shoulder, he called it a angry shoulder? Is it possible for a MRI to be wrong? If not what is with the fluid in the shoulder? can someone please help.
The other possibilities are osteoarthritis, bursitis, rheumatoid arthritis, infective arthritis, clot in a vein over the elbow, inflammation of the vein or lymphatics etc.
Please consult an orthopedic specialist as a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
penetrating ulcer in stomach, pancreas, and frozen shoulder is a common cause for stiffness and pain in shoulder. This could also be a sign of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Consult an orthopaedician for assessment and a physician if there are no bony or cartilaginous causes found. Hope this helps. Take care.
(He lied) Nov 2007, hurt my back and discovered osteoarthritis and 2 bulging disks. Lost my insurance Feb 2008 along with my job. Sept of this year went to a new doc because I had extreme fatigue (again) and my blood pressure was running really low 80s over 50's. He ordered a bunch of labs (all came back normal), refered me to an endocrinologist and neurologist. He felt I had P.O.T.S.
The endo tells me I may have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and I need to have a repeat ultrasound.
R hip bursitis w arthritis. Migraines...all right sided.Why would one side of the body have more deterioration than the other? I am 60 years old.
There are multiple reasons for hip pain. One of the most common is trochanter bursitis. It is the largest bursea in our body and when it becomes inflamed it can be very painful. Heat can increase the swelling of surrounding tissue and make your pain increase, or certainly not ease it rather it is bursitis or not.
The symptom that does not fit is the decrease in pain with ambulation. Does it hurt to touch the area or rest on it? If not than that may also rule out bursitis.
I will f/u w/ the surgeon in a month or so if pain persists, but expect that the tendonitis, bursitis and all of those other additional findings are the culprit. Thanks for your interest.
At the same time other causes of knee pain like bursitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis should also be considered .See an orthopaedician.He will examine you and determine if X-rays are needed or not. Take some over the counter analgesic. That may help. Do write to me again with more details.
Best luck and regards!
At your mother’s age the things you should look at are calcium deficiency and Vit D deficiency along with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and probably gout too. The chronic pain in joints can be due to osteoporosis too.
Menopause itself can cause joint aches and pains and responds well to hormone replacement therapy.
It is normal for most people to feel the pain at night as this time all work is over and the aches and pains become more prominent.
For about a month now, my knuckle has been hurting pretty bad to bend it or even touch it. Today I noticed some swelling. Its my middle finger on my right hand and its swollen on the side closest to my pointer finger, its even a little red. As far as I can remember, I have never injuryed it. I use to be a package handler at FedEx Ground. I loaded the tractor trailer trucks but the last three months Iwas there, which ended last month, I was on light duty.
I also have degeneration in the lower spine and in the neck. and osteoarthritis in both knees, but my right leg is worst. Osteoarthritis in other joints too (fingers and feet).
The more I stand and walk about the worse it gets. I also get the pain in the lower belly as if things are pulling down. The pain radiates down through both legs. Doc says this is reffered pain from my back.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that causes stiffness and pain in the joints. Osteoarthritis involves growth of bone spurs and degeneration of cartilage at a joint. It is very common in adults older than 45 and can cause joint pain.
Joint pain may also be caused by bursitis (inflammation of the bursae). The bursae are fluid-filled sacs that cushion and pad bony prominences, allowing muscles and tendons to move freely over the bone.
My mother has been having shoulder pain and upper arm stiffness in both arms and shoulders now for months. Her arthritic doctor has done blood work and diagnosed her with bursitis, borderline RA, oesteoarthritis (from xrays) and put her on prednisone. She also sent her to a neurologist thinking it might be a pinched nerve. She has also been doing physical therapy 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Nothing is giving her relief.
