What is the best thing to cure problems with cartilage issues?

Question

I have problems with my knees popping out of place or locking up the doctors says it cartilage and i need to go through water thearpy. I go to the dentist and he puts my jaw back into place because its dislocated all the time. He says its because of my cartilage. And then the day before Thanksgiving I was having real bad chest pains I thought I was having a heart attack. The doctor said it was due to the cartilage that attaches the ribs to the breast bone separating. Now I can't do anything for two weeks until I heal. Why can't the doctors put all this together and give me a reason or even a cure to fix the problem. I have lost jobs and sometimes can't even get up to take care of my family because of this. Is there a special doctor that I can see for this problem? I just want to be able to do things with my kids instead of them taking care of me. Im 35 years old and my kids are ages 11, 10, and 7. They need me and I can't be there for them.

Answer 1

The joint hypermobility syndrome is a condition that features joints that easily move beyond the normal range expected for a particular joint. The joint hypermobility syndrome is considered a benign condition. It is estimated that 10%-15% of normal children have hypermobile joints, or joints that can move beyond the normal range of motion. There is a tendency of the condition to run in families (familial). It is felt that certain genes are inherited that predispose to the development of hypermobile joints. Genes that are responsible for the production of collagen, an important protein that helps to glue tissues together, are suspected of playing a role. Because the joints are capable of excessive motion in people with the joint hypermobility syndrome, they are susceptible to injury. Symptoms of the joint hypermobility syndrome include pains in the knees, fingers, hips, and elbows. There is a higher incidence of dislocation and sprains of involved joints. Often joint hypermobility causes no symptoms and requires no treatment. Many individuals with joint hypermobility syndrome improve in adulthood. Treatments are customized for each individual based on their particular manifestations. Joint pains can be relieved by medications for pain or inflammation. Proper physical fitness exercise can strengthen muscles and stability, but the nature of the exercise should be designed to avoid injury to joints. Joint hypermobility tends to decrease with aging as we become naturally less flexible.

Yes the gap gets larger. Remember, the gap will NEVER near. Cartilage piercings are endlessly. The cartilage is VERY not going to near even after the earring is eliminated.
