this is also called Ollier's disease, there doesn't seem to be a specific treatment, only treatment of any complications that arise from the disease. All you can do is see your Orthopedist regularly so you can monitor the symptoms. Which is important because the sooner the leasion can be treated the better.

A good naturopath will be of inestimable value in helping you deal with this problem. Good luck and God Bless.

My fiance has it and has had a lamenectomy and in January had a fusion operation.He also had an accident so there were other problems but,basically the surgery didn't help much,however he is on some medications that are really helping the pain.He sees a pain management doctor so if ur not,you will need to so that you can receive proper meds.Hydrocodone is very mild and doesn't help pain like that very much.He is on Oxycontin and Roxicodone.He is on a very high does,however.80mgs of Oxycontin 3 times a day and 30mgs of Roxicodone 3 times a day.It's quite alot but smaller doses would probably be beneficial to you.Good luck,I understand as I've seen the pain he has been in.

I tend to agree with the above person. Although there seems to be quite a bit of info on the internet, it's often better to have it explained to you by an expert. There are different treatment modalities, that I won't go into here. Best to speak in depth with your childs doctor. Best of wishes.\n\nHave you discussed surgical options?

Conservative:\n1.By giving intrakeloidal injection of steroids.-Best\n\n2.By giving intrakeloidal injection of Vitamin A- better result \n3.Intrakeloidal injection of Methotrexate - with some success. \n4.Deep X- ray therapy- only with some success.\n5.Intrakeloidal injection of Hyaluronidase - may be tried.\nSurgery:\n1. Excision and re suturing  but recurs.\n2.Shaving away the excess scar tissue  and then resurfacing the area by the skin graft.-not with good results.

Chondrotin and msm are naturally found in our cartilage, as we age or if you have arthritis they decrease. My friend uses a skin gel and a drinking gel for his arthritis that contain these, he says since he has been taking them he has had relief from his symptoms and is on less pain killers.\n\n He says his general health and mobility have increased since starting this natural medicine 6 weeks ago. \nHe drinks the gel twice a day and rubs the cream into the problem areas. \n\nIf you contact foreverlivingdelicious@yahoo.co.uk they will be able to help as they are the distributors.

Hi Djinn\n\nHere are a few ideas to help the healing process.\n\nCause: \nArthritis is caused by acids and waste matter in the body, which eventually become solidified and lock the joint. This condition is caused and aggravated by improper diet. Some of the worst intakes are eggs, bread, milk, meat, salt, sugar, etc., because they cause arthritic calcification. The use of extremely hard water (generally of twelve or more grains in hardness) will often accentuate an arthritic condition where softer water will help relieve it. Sometimes an individual with a good inherent structure can throw off the hardest water without arthritic effect. The weaker person may drink water that is not very hard and absorb from it relatively larger quantities of the inorganic minerals. \n\n\nQuick Action Plan for Rheumatoid Arthritis\n\n1. Acupuncture treatment helps to reduce the body's aggressive defenses that inadvertently attack its own joint tissue. \n\n2. Massage affected joints with rosemary, benzoin, chamomile, camphor, juniper, or lavender. \n\n3. Diet plays an integral part in reducing or preventing the onset of all types of arthritic conditions. A diet rich in an abundant selection of fresh vegetables, and a wide variety of sweet and non-sweet fruits, soaked nuts and seeds, and whole grains is recommended. \n\n4. Tomatoes, cayenne, black and long pepper should be avoided by person's with rheumatoid arthritis. Minimize protein intake, choose small quantities of fish, legumes, eggs, soaked nuts and seeds. Eliminate beef, chicken, shellfish, and pork completely. Eat no hydrogenated fats, processed sugars, dairy products, alcohol, coffee, or black tea. \n\n5. Use the following powerful aids to speed and assist healing: Goji, Acai and Noni juice, bee pollen, royal jelly, and evening primrose oil are recommended, as is Shark cartilage, Wobenzyme, DMSO, MSM Manganese Cetyl myristoleate with lipase, and vitamin C.\n\n6. Test for food and environmental allergies and avoid all foods and substances to which you are allergic. \n\n7. Cleansing and Detoxification including colon and bowel cleansing therapies, fasting, kidney and gallbladder flushes, physical medicine, and homeopathic remedies. \nIsometric exercises, stretching, and yoga can help ease arthritis pain. \n\n8. Constitutional hydrotherapy (apply two to five times weekly) or heating compress (apply once daily to affected areas). \n\n9 Drink the juice of half a lemon before every meal and before going to bed. \n\nBest of health to your family.\n\nCheers

(m)\n\nMedication will help reduce pain and inflammation. Although medication can not "cure" your arthritis, it can help you lead an active life again. \nThese are some of the treatments you can try. Your doctor can advise you. You may need to experiment to see which suits you best. \n\nsimple painkillers, eg. paracetamol \nanti-inflammatory drugs eg. ibuprofen (Brufen or Nurofen) \ncreams and gels, useful for small joints like finger joints \nmassage \nwarmth \naromotherapy \nacupuncture \nwax baths \nsteroid injections \njoint replacement operations \nSome people need to have regular treatment. Others only need to have treatment during a flare up of arthritis. \n\nIf your joints are very painful and inflamed, you will need to rest. Medication will help reduce any pain and swelling. Paracetamol is helpful, and is safe for most people to take. However, if you suffer from other medical conditions, or if you take other medication, it is a good idea to ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.\nWarming your joints with a warm flannel, hot water bottle, or a warm shower can help with morning stiffness and improve mobility.\n\nAs soon as you can, you need to become mobile and active. Sitting or resting for long periods will make your joints stiff and your muscles weak. Gentle walks and stretching excercises can help. Swimming is an excellent sport, and can help you keep mobile without putting a stress on your joints.\n\nIf you are overweight, you should try very hard to lose weight. \n\nThere is no evidence that special diets are helpful, and you should have a healthy diet which includes fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and dairy products. Some people find taking cod liver oil helpful.\n\nYou may find getting out of a low seat is difficult, and many modern seats are too low and soft. You should choose a comfortably padded, upright chair, with a firm back and arm rests.\nIf you have arthritis of the knees, hips or ankles, wearing cushioned shoes can help. Look for good quality "trainers", or shoes with thick rubber soles. Choose shoes with a good grip, so that you feel secure while walking. If your walking is badly impaired by knee or hip arthritis, a walking stick or walking frame may be very helpful. \n\nIf you have disabling arthritis, there are many gadgets which can make life easier. This equipment can be found in large pharmacies, specialist shops, or from catalogues. An occupational therapist may be able to advise you. \n\nlong handled shoe horns \nspecial tools for putting on socks or stockings \nspecial grips for your keys \nadapted cutlery and beakers \nraised toilet seat \nhand rails in the bathroom or toilet \na special seat in the bath

Make sure to follow all of your doctor's directions for medication, etc.  It is a serious disease that causes continuing damage to your joints, which can only be prevented with prescription medication.\n\nThat aside, eating healthy and exercising is the next best thing - work with your doctor to find an exercise program you are comfortable with.  Water aerobics or swimming are great, and even just walking can make a big difference.\n\nVitamin supplements are unproven and generally don't have much effect.  There is very little evidence to support if any of these actually work.  But if you do want to try any of these, do it on top of your regular meds under the guidance of you doctor- don't take anything without consulting him first! They have lots more experience with this disease, and some supplements may actually react with some medications.\n\nNow you also need to deal with this mentally - the best way is to look to your family members for support.  But you can also go to http://www.arthritis.org and visit the RA connect section - they have a message board where you can get lots of emotional support from people who have gone through it too.\n\nGood luck with your treatment!
