Nail Patella Syndrome (also called Fong's Disease, Hereditary Onycho-Osteodysplasia ['HOOD'] is characterized by several typical abnormalities of the arms and legs as well as kidney disease and glaucoma. It has been recognized as a hereditary condition for over 100 years and is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. That is, the risk of transmission is 50% per pregnancy, irrespective of gender (just like flipping a coin). Approximately 20% of cases are sporadic, being the result of a new mutation. The incidence is approximately 1 in 50,000 and occurs throughout the world in all ethnic groups.\n\nThe below mentioned website should be very useful to you and give you 100% answers to all your queries on the subject.

Regular exercise, healthy diet, don't smoke. I've heard that Thai-Chi can be helpful.\n\nIt can run in the family, but if you take care of your body, it can minimize risk.  \n\nYou must have someone close to you with it, to be concerned so young.  It's a hard thing to deal with.  \n\nGenerally, aching joints, swelling are signs.

No,that is an impossible reason..There's a condition,usually genetic(that is when is transmitted from genaration to genaration),which cause those nasty inproper grow of the nails..See a good specialist,because in the long run you may experience nasty outcomes if neglected..Good luck!!!

Stop running. \nGet new running shoes. This to fix the angle your foot hits the ground and to provide cushioning. \nGet orthotics. This to fix the angle your foot hits the ground.  Get a knee brace or support strap. This to keep your patella in its track. Taping. This is where taping is used to get the patella back into its track. Stretch. Some doctors recommend knee drops to build up the muscles around the knee. Weights. This to strengthen the muscles around the kneecap so it tracks properly. Avoid bent knee exercises. Straight leg raises and posterior (hamstring or calf) muscle stretches are best.\nMassage. Icing. Take anti-inflamitories. Try Glucosamine Sulfate.  They say it helps with joint pain and arthritis.  Try ginger.  A tea made of fresh ginger taken 3 times a day is supposed to help reduce inflammation.  Prolotherapy. This is where they inject some gunk into your knee and hope your body will react and cure the cause of the pain. Acupuncture. This is where needles are used to stimulate the body to repair itself. Physiotherapy. This is where the muscles are manipulated to bring the patella back into its track. Arthroscopic surgery. This is where they cut a hole and take a look around at what's actually going on under the skin\nShaving the patella. This is where they get in and smooth the surface of the patella with a knife. Lateral release. This is where they get in and cut ligaments to shift the way the patella sits.

many health conditions are reflected by nail changes...what you describe sounds like a result of trauma.

The best way is to have the nail removed.  See your doctor; this can be done under a local anesthetic in the office. It is not a long or complicated procedure.

I don't know the name of this condition; but it appears to be some sort of muscoskeletal disorder.\n\nWasn't she in a Marilyn Manson video?  Dope Show, maybe?

Could be both fungus and stain.  Arcrylic nails harbor all sorts of germs.  Nurses in some hospitals are banded from wearing them.\nConsult with your doctor.  You don't want to go around spreading disease.

Clubbing is a broadening and thickening of the fingers or toes with increased lengthwise curvature of the tip of the nail, and flattening of the angle between the cuticle and nail.\nfor more info on causes and cures check out this site...\nhttp://www.umm.edu/ency/article/003282.htm

www.kidskneepain.com\n\nIt is "osgood schlatter's disease or syndrome" and that link will give you lots of good info about it.  I had a friend long ago in high school with that. You really need to go see the orthopedist so your son can get treatment for it because it can be very painful and even crippling, but doesn't have to be as bad as it used to be.\nMy friend strengthened himself by daily trips to a pool where he'd do up and downs on the balls of his feet to strengthen that tendon.  Good luck and tell your son everything will be fine.

Hi there, alot of lymphedema patients have thyroid problems and fibromyalgia.  Recently there was an article called "unlocking the lymph" and also another one about fibromyalgia that made a general link to linking them together.  We all as patients have wondered the same thing.  Compartment syndrome involves the muscles, as you may or may not know, muscles contractions move lymph so there is somewhat of a link there.  You may be one of the people who was genetically prone to lymphedema (primary) and the pregnancy was enough stress on the body to bring it out.  Most specialists and doctors are not that well versed in lymphedema unfortunately, and there is not yet alot of research in the field of lymph disorders, lymphology and lymphedema.  We hope to change that!  We're working on it.
