osteoarthritis treatment back exercises

I have been having a lot of issues with my neck and back. My symptoms started when I was 22, 7 years ago. It started when I woke up one day and had this pressure on one side of my neck, right under the base of my skull and behind my ear. I had this constant feeling of needing to stretch or crack my neck all day. Well this feeling never went away. Eventually I got the pressure on the other side of my neck as well.

I have osteoarthritis in my back and hips. The physiotherapist has given me exercises to help with the pain. Best thing is to keep active, if you can. Hopefully the ortho will help, and a rheumatologist, like I have seen, will help you cope with the arthritis.

Back in July 2013, I developed pain in both thumbs while playing my banjo. I had recently started new playing techniques on the banjo with both hands. I am 48 years old. I've been to a hand therapist and she believe it is some type of repetitive stress injury and since then I've only play a little and have used splints and exercises etc. I feel things have been getting better but slowly. Recently, I went to a sports medicine hand doctor and he had said I have osteoarthritis.

I have several books about helping with back ache and they all advocate doing gentle exercises. Physiotherapist at hospital told me to take glucosamine and showed me some exercises. Also yesterday the osteopath told me best exercise is to lie on back and draw both knees to chest and just gently rock. This opens up the spaces between facets in spine and eases them. I am still a bit sore from the manipulation yesterday, but pain has eased. I will see osteopath twice more.

Range-of-motion and stretching exercises can help maintain flexibility in your joints and preserve good posture. Proper sleep and walking positions and abdominal and back exercises can help maintain your upright posture. Most people with ankylosing spondylitis don't need surgery. However, your doctor may recommend surgery if you have severe pain or joint damage, or if your hip joint is so damaged that it needs to be replaced.

The pain seems to spread throughout your body because, like the song says, everything in your body is connected to everything else. Back pain makes you unconsciously alter the way you walk, stand, sit, even lie down. Back pain can cause your hip to hurt, which in turn causes knee stress, and on down the line until you seem to hurt clear down to your toes.

I have osteoarthritis in my knees but I need a to have my hips, wrists/hands and back looked at as well the pain is disabling.. The pain in my feet, shoulders, and ribs are more of an uncomfortable feeling than actual pain, although it does get worse with movement, and the other places that hurt, hurt constantly even if I am just sitting, standing, or lying down, although lying down is when its the least painful.

This gives you a good stretch through your chest and upper back. And do some gentle breathing. If you do breathing exercises begin each thing I mentioned with gentle breathing exercises. If you do not breath properly, go on internet or pick up a book at the library, used book store, or book store on breathing exercises. I have fibromyalgia, chronic pain, 7 surgeries on my back and neck. These all have helped me over the years.

My only problem with those exercises is they require me to lay on my back...so go figure. I hope you find more help then I have, this is stopping me from going back to work and applying for disability is a joke. Good Luck Brendan because i certainly feel your pain.

Although I have had 2 surgeries on my cervical spine for ruptured discs and lax ligaments (am now fused from C3-C6), I am now told that I have significant osteoarthritis at C1-C2 (atlanto-axial joint) Accupuncture did relieve a lot of the associated muscle spasms but I still get bone pain sometimes even at the base of my skull. I've also wrenched the left side of my neck twice in the past 6 weeks at work.

How do other people deal with the pain of arthritis. I have had treatment from an osteopath, and a physiotherapist. I do exercises I have been given by my doctor and the physiotherapist. I take pain killers every four hours as instructed. I keep mobile as best I can. I have just ordered some gel that is supposed to help with osteoarthritis pain. I can't get my head around the fact that at 73, I may have to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I was always active.

My sister, 61 years old, has scoliosis and severe osteoarthritis in her lower back. She endures debilitating pain. Since she is an alcoholic, she is not a candidate for traditional pain killers or opioids. 1. Would Baclofen be a possible treatment for managing her pain? 2. Is it possible that Baclofen might have a secondary, off-label, benefit of being a possible treatment for the alcoholism?

Aside from weight reduction and avoiding activities that exert excessive stress on the joint cartilage, there is no specific treatment to halt cartilage degeneration or to repair damaged cartilage in osteoarthritis for your stage of problem. Applying local heat before and cold packs after exercise can help relieve pain and inflammation for you.

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!

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?

Should I be concerned about this swelling. I have started some ROM exercises (had swelling before started ROM). Should I get PT? Does this suggest I may need surgery?

If you have been diagnosed as lupus then yes, all your symptoms can be explained by it. Physiotherapy and exercises such as swimming and water aerobics help. Steroids and NSAIDs are the mainstay of medical treatment. Apart from fibromyalgia multiple joint pain with cold hands and finger tips is seen in hypothyroidism, low Vitamin D levels, Low Vit B12 levels, anemia, and Hasimotos thyroiditis.
