osteoarthritis

Avatar f tn I need to lose 80 lbs. and have osteoarthritis. I've been on a low carb diet twice and both times the arthritis has flared and become quite painful. I think it's an excess of protein. How else can I lose weight? I can't stand being hungry and have good weight loss results with low carb. Help please!
Avatar m tn ‘Line of weight bearing falling anterior to the sacral promontory’ would indicate an abnormal spinal curvature which could be the cause or the result of osteoarthritis. Some degree of osteoarthritis is expected with age which can worsen post-menopause, being overweight, improper posture, lack of physical exercise/ muscle strength, chronic trauma, diabetes etc., which causes degeneration of the joint and associated inflammation that causes pain. The acute injury is unlikely to be related to it.
Avatar f tn I once weighed 210. I now weigh 162. I have lost 48 lbs very slowly, but when I got this heavy manual labor job, it came off faster. The thing is, I've had to quit due to severe chronic pain. I am a 47 year old female with great blood pressure and glucose levels, but I have an emergency inhaler. I am desperately afraid of losing the ground I have gained in my weight loss. I don't want to be fat anymore.
Avatar n tn Are you talking about getting B12 pills? B12 doesn't help with weight loss; all it does is give more energy to exercise.

Avatar f tn This way you will see how foods you consumed, along with weight loss and exercise, affected your glucose levels. Buy a reputable 'name' brand meter. Read the instructions carefully. Some meters require calibration prior to use. If you're uncertain on what to buy call your doctor's office and ask for their suggestion. In any case try to keep a daily log of your test results, average them out weekly then monthly, then your 3 mo avg.
Avatar f tn I'm desperate to find help for multiple symptoms that I feel may be thyroid related. I moved to a different state across the country 20 years ago and I have yet to find a good endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid diseases such as Graves- consequently, for the last 20 years, my health has been spiraling down & out of control. I had severe Graves disease & had a thyroidectomy leaving 2gr in '75. I've been on 125 mcg Levothyroxin for many years.

Avatar n tn m sorry to hear that your parents tease you about wanting to lose weight. Learning to eat healthy and losing weight now are the best ways to ward of health issues down the road, as well as making you happier with yourself. We all know that fast food isn't good for you, but when you do go to a fast food restaurant, there are some ways to limit the damage that's done...
Avatar n tn I had worn them for years with no problems but when I began taking a weight loss supplement (Orovo) is when the itching, redness and rash began. At times, the itching was so severe I wanted to use a fork to scratch the areas that were itching! I discontinued using the weight loss supplement and the itching and rash went away. I do, however, still have a problem with the way VS is manufacturing their bras.
653169 tn?1303446369 I also have seperation of some of my toes. I also have degeneration in lumbar and hips My research agrees that I would have RA vs. Osteoarthritis. even though my orig. blood test for RA was negative. This is so frustrating. My doc wants to do the RA blood test again, but I am broke with no insurance and can barely afford meds I'm on. Would appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.

Avatar m tn Aside from that, those who lose weight with aids like that, are much more likely to gain back the weight, once the weight loss aid is stopped, and none of them are intended for continuous/indefinite use. It's much safer to lose weight by implementing a healthy diet with moderate exercise, losing approx 1-2 pounds/week; you'll be much more likely to keep off the weight, by making lifestyle changes vs a "diet".
657653 tn?1224680706 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.
Avatar f tn With all this crazy hyper thyrdoism/Graves where my TSH is .0001 I believe or .001... I do not have the classic side effect of weight loss. In fact I have been gaining weight.... At one point I gained 13 pounds in two weeks... eathing healthy... and not a lot. Additionally, I know that 'hypo' causes puffiness and swelling in the ankles... of which I have with hyper/Graves. I know my thyroid is overactive but I'm just not following the typical pattern.
