I have not heard of it either. Sorry\n\nA good treatment option is also taking a combined supplement of glucosamine and chondrontin sulfates. They are both found naturally in cartliage and assist in protecting arthritic joints. They do not re-build the cartliage as this is impossible, but it certainly helps increase range of motion and functionality.\n\nParacetamol is also good for the pain.

There could be multiple reasons for this. Rheumatoid arthritis but this usually presents itself severely, osteoarthritis which is wearing on the joints, overuse of the joint or for knees and back being overweight. Are you taking any herbal supplements that you have forgotten to mention? The side effects can be stiff joints. Osteoporosis is not noted for causing pain, it is kind of a silent ailment and the first sign is a stress fracture. These are NOT symptoms of Parkinson's disease. As a final thought if you are depressed, have a lot of stress in your life you could be developing this as a coping mechanism.

That all depends upon whether or not there is any damage in the joints. It could be just muscle cramping that will go away with application of heat and rest. See your doctor to be sure. You need to have xrays taken to be positive.

Rheumatoid arthritis can start in any joint, but it most commonly begins in the smaller joints of the fingers, hands and wrists. Joint involvement is usually symmetrical, meaning that if a joint hurts on the left hand, the same joint will hurt on the right hand. In general, more joint erosion indicates more severe disease activity.\n\n-Fatigue\n-Stiffness, particularly in the morning and when sitting for long      periods of time. Typically, the longer the morning stiffness lasts,  the more active your disease is.\n-Weakness\n-Flu-like symptoms, including a low-grade fever\n-Pain associated with prolonged sitting\n-The occurrence of flares of disease activity followed by remission or disease inactivity\n-Rheumatoid nodules, or lumps of tissue under the skin, appear in about one-fifth of people with RA. Typically found on the elbows, they can indicate more severe disease activity.\n-Muscle pain\n-Loss of appetite, depression, weight loss, anemia, cold and/or sweaty hands and feet\n-Involvement of the glands around the eyes and mouth, causing decreased production of tears and saliva (Sjögren’s syndrome)\n\nGo to www.arthritis.org for more information

Arthritis can get worse but there are things you can do to prevent worsening.  Eat a diet low in  cholesterol and fat.   Ask your doctor for anti-inflammatory medications.  If he thinks they will help he will prescribe them.  Exercise the joint that is afflicted the more you move the less you will hurt.   Use ice to reduce swelling or heat to improve movement.\n\nI have had arthritis for over 30 years and a medical assistant for 24 years. This is the advice that I live by.

With Arthritis you should exercise to tolerance.  Walking 7 days a week is too much.  Your body also needs a rest or recovery period.  Try doing water aerobics, pilates, or yoga.  These are all great low weight bearing classes that will help with mobility and flexibility and balance.  I would avoid doing exercises in a recumbent position.  Such as a bike that has a seat with a back etc...\nI hope your pain becomes more manageable.

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

Depending on your age it could be arthritis.  The best thing to do is consult a physician.  They have to get an inside look to find the right solution.  I myself have some arthritis but find much relief and strength in my legs from doing Tai Chi and Chi Gung.  And I had a torn meniscus in my knee years ago (they did arthroscopic surgery).

I hope this is a genuine question and not a joke.\n\nIf you're having pain in the knees then you may want to try Obsteo-Flex, the new product that's being advertised, or a generic brand.\n\nGlucosamine HCL, Chondroitin, and MSM are known supplements for improving joint health.\n\nHopefully, you're not suffering from arthiritis but that could be a possibility.

Given your age and your prior medical condition, I would definitely advice a proper physical with your physician prior to ANY form of physical exercise.\n\nThe pains you feel in your joints are likely due to overuse injuries and the ligament's being unaccustomed to work load.\n\nTry easing into the fitness program, and do lighter reps of each exercise components. Do them until tired. Do not force another rep if you are straining.\n\nAnother exercise good to do is the Deep Knee Bends. Do those different times of the day, and as usual, do until tired and not straining. This exercise will help to strengthen your ligaments and help your body get accustom to the physical activities.\n\nRemember to see your doctor and approach a competent personal trainer with experience in elderly fitness management for a customized fitness program suitable for your current level of fitness.

I'm sure both of you should be on medication, right? Sometimes over exercising can aggravate make the condition worst. Try doing the cobra posture exercise which is supposed to be good for back ache. Lie down flat on your tummy and try lift up your head and chest. Do this exercise every morning before you leave your bed and every night before sleeping.You can also try the supplement, Glucosamine Chondroitin, people who have joints and back pains swear by it.Pound some ginger and boil it in water for 15 minuties (a piece thumb sized ginger to 1 cup of water, add a bit of honey and drink it 2 times daily, it helps to relieve rheumatism associated to too long periods of muscles and bone-aches, like back pains.

Alcohol dehydrates you and that can give you painful joints.  Moderate your drinking and be sure that you are drinking plenty of water/gatorade/etc all the time but ESPECIALLY after you've been drinking.

You may have an inflammatory arthritis.  There are several different types.  The symptoms include joint pain, stiffness (especially in the morning) and gelling phenomenon (feeling stiff after sitting). It sounds a lot like Rheumatoid Arthritis but your doctor will have to run blood tests on you to find out for sure.  You need to see a Rheumatologist- who specializes in the treatment of connective tissue disorders and joint pain.  These conditions are treatable and you will start feeling better with treatment! (There are not any over the counter medications- you need to be treated by a doctor- these conditions can start affecting the other body systems if not treated correctly) Good luck.\n\nOh yeah- the joints most affected are the hands- especially middle and lower knuckles, the elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and the lower spine.  Your doctor may get xrays of your hands.
