Arthritis? Help?

Question

I have the most horrible pain in my hands today and for the last couple of days. It has been rainy here. It started with my left pointer finger nuckle, very stiff, then all the fingers. Now my right hand is so painful I can barely type, cannot make a fist and it's a horrible pain to pick up my three month old and carry him. My right wrist appears slightly swollen but not red. Should I use a heating pad? Ice pack? I don't want to make it worse. I tried 800mg Ibuprophen and Darvocet, made me sick to my stomach but no pain relief.

I'm 33 and this has been going on for about 6 years. It also happens in my shoulders, really bad!!, my knees, my hips and my back.

Answer 1

Hi, Im Chris, I have Lupus, which is an autoimmune arthritic disease. I am wondering if you have been tested for rhuematoid arthritis? Or if you look at your hands and there is any disfiguring going on? In many people, most over 40, they can feel when the atmosphere is changing if they have any type of arthritis. Rain is the biggest trigger. I do suggest before going to the doctor and asking for antibiotics like the other lady suggested that you get some hand xrays, since there are many types of arthritis, and a blood panal to rule out autoimmune types of arthritis including Rhuematoid Arthritis. If it happens only in cold or rainy weather, your not alone. That basically happens to much of the population in their mid 30's and up. Its just from years of wear and tear to our bodies, but you should see your primary care doctor to see if any testing needs to be done. oh and yes, you can do 20 min of ice rotate and do 20 minutes of heat, also I noticed that you have a baby. so I assume your younger than 40. so please go see a doctor.

I wish you luck.
Chris

Imagine for a second your arthritis fully vanishing correct now. If, in a second, your ache and stiffness melted away. And your joints instantly functioned like a good-oiled laptop. Like a magic wand used to be waived, you would be competent to leap up out of your chair and run across the room like a child. And assume that you would not ever ought to undergo up to a pinch of arthritis stiffness or ache ever once more. I recognise this sounds unattainable correct now, however undergo with me, seeing that oftentimes miracles occur. It used to be a present from a lady at the different aspect of the arena. From the kindness of her middle, she took pity on my discomfort and taught me how you can fully opposite my arthritis. Today, I desire to do the equal for you!

I had same problem back to 1996. I went to see doctors, take physical therapy, nothing help. The only way can reduce the pain is golf. (Use hand a lot during golfing).

One day, from TV, I hear Minocycline (bacteriostatic antibiotic) can help. I asked
my father to get some for me from Taiwan. I took 50mg 3 times a day. The pain was gone within 2 weeks.

Couple years later. I mention this to my family doctor. He said, yes. Some search say Minocycline will cure Arthritis, but work for 10% of people.

You may want to check with you family doctor see what he says. In America, doctor don't subscribe antibiotic easily. That was why I get it from Taiwan.

Answer 4

Well, this is very strange. But it did work for me. It cost's nothing to try it out.
My right hand was so sore in the morning I could hardly move the fingers. Every evening before going to sleep, I envisioned little cleaners (Like Pac Mans) cleaning the build up on my knuckle joints. It took about a month--now no problem.

If it gets worse you better get medical help.

Answer 5

There is no medicine for RA, H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, worry, excessive wind, anger, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 90% success in treating all pains confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment. I treat it with SHREE SWASTHYAYOG THERAPY with 90% success without medicine, but how can you manage pl see.
