Can Anything Be Done About Knee Arthritis For An Athletic Teenager?
January 18th, 2010So, my 17 year old daughter, who has been playing basketball for 10 years. She is 6′1″ and about 200 lbs. She’s been having problems with her knees swelling and a lot of pain. Well, I took her up to U of M to see an orthopedic surgeon who requested an MRI for her knees. The next day she called to say that my daughter has arthritis and that nothing could be done about it. Can this be true? She really wants to continue playing basketball when she goes to college, but the pain is getting worse. Does anyone have any suggestions to help out an athlete?

January 9th, 2010Arthritis runs in my Mother’s side of the family. I just turned 30 years old & I’ve been noticing I have pretty severe aches & pains throughout my body from time to time. The pains & aches will not stay in one spot though. One month my ankle will be aching then the next it would be my hip area. My aunt (my Mother’s sister) was diagnosed with Rhumatoid Arthritis about 4 years ago, so I know what it can do but how do I know if that might be what I am experiencing?

What Are Some Good Natural Remedies To Help Stop The Progression Of Arthritis?
December 31st, 2009I’m not sure what kind of arthritis I have. I always assumed that it was osteoarthritis because I don’t have any disfigured joints. However, after reading more about rheumatoid arthritis, I wonder if I have that. My joints all over are stiff and achy and my fingers are puffy. I heard that fish oil is good. How much of this can I safely take? What about other supplements? Thanks!
