Thanks for the information.

Thank you-

Can you have both OA and RA?

What are you looking for specifically in an ultrasound and what part of the body is it done on.

Great Information!. Hope everyone here who might have RA/have RA are able to deal with it early and get treatment using such info. Pray you all have happy and healthy lives

Diagnosed in 2010 Started methotrexte humira enbrel 4 years of chemo non hodgkins retiximab till it affected my heart and now on rinvoque 5336.00 a month but so worth it Love and Prayers to those with it ❣️💛❣️💛🙏🙏🙏💛❣️💛🌹 and 800 mgs 4 times a day and

Boswellia Curcumin of planet ayurveda has worked wonders for my joint pain. It's amazing how natural products can be so effective!

The problem with rhematologists is that they give you a grocery list( super long) of medications to take every day..........and then say you must have your liver function tested every two months ! ! Im not goning to poison myself to supposedly get better......we end up being guinea pigs!

I understand that the difference between PRP and stem cells is that PRP cannot get past the scar tissue but stem cells can . Something you said earlier seemed to confirm this. (It was around 22: on the time line but cannot find it .) Is this the reason you move from using platelets to stem cells ? Does all treatment require starting wwith PRP or can you discern when to start with stem cells and skip the PRP treatment (like when there has been an injury )?

As I said in another of your videos Boron and CFA (Cetylated fatty acid ) -- better than omega 3 . I took it for a while but the quality of it makes a difference but CFA (Celadrin is better).

Nice and succinct. Well done. Though you didn't get to the treatment or regenerative part that is your specialalty. I hope a video on it is coming . I have had most of these checked as my mother had RA and I have kept a close watch. One hand has classic nodules but as you describe wear and tear is responsible. My sport doc thought arthritis but I rarely have pain and when I do it is quickly alleviated with increasing blood flow and circulation with a 100% angora hand/wrist warmer. Also no inflammation on blood tests. However, what I am more concerned about now is knee degeneration from over use, and back and neck trouble from whiplash . I am getting relief from a combo of Boron mineral and Cetylated fatty acid supplement Celadrin (apparently an Arthritis doc in Bestheda Maryland discovered a gene in mice that do not get arthritis and isolated it in a lab and created a version of CMO or a CFA -- it works ) ! (With Mag and Vit D ) This is keeping me upright and on my feet . But still hoping for a regenerative treatment with stems cells! So hoping you do a video on this .

I m can't scroll mobile with my thumb and feeling difficulty while writing. And also feeling uncomfort and stiffness in thumb and hand joint. But its prominent pain. Is it arthritis?

Sir I have wartenberg sign in pinky slightly addcution do stem cells help this situation please answer sir

If you dont start lifting weights 6 days a week your going to go down hard and fast. Pump up d3 magnesium k2. Lay into the d3 for 3 weeks. 20,000 iu

I have pain in the finger joint pain mainly my first three digits and little in the thumb, not noticeable in pinkies. Pain started about four weeks ago upon waking up. Gets better with movement and massage. Nothing in feet or knees.

Thank you for making another informative video. For over 30 years I've been dealing with RA, followed by Hashi, Sjodren's, Cushing's and recently Drug - induced Lupus. I've been told that additionally I have OsteoArthritis and Degenerative Bone Disease, Osteoporosis. My DEXA showed a small amount of OsteoPena. Since the RA stopped responding to the meds, the only one that kept me walking was low dose (20 mg) prednisone. None of the RA drugs are safe to take, most are deadly. My Drs all copy each others opinion, that prednisone is to blame . I tried to get Emergortho to give me Stem cell therapy, but was told that I'm too old. Is there an age limit? I'm 63 and determined to get my health back.

Thank you

Do eat meat! Be a carnivore! This diet makes you healthy!

Please don’t take Glucosamine Chondroitin if you have Sickle Cell

Been checked for RA for 2 decades and never had the inflammation markers. My mom has RA. My hands have been crippled since I was in my 40’s. I’m 53 now and the pain in both hands is unbearable constantly and my finger joints are like hard marbles.

Hi, How do you treat knee bursitis and knee swelling due to osteoarthritis?

I had the same . It happened after carona, my toes and fingers get stiffness. I use neuro vit B it helps.

3 blood tests in a week confirmed my ra, had to get fluid drawn from my knee about 600 ml to be precise, we are giving the doctors one more chance since they keep asking for random diagnostics like bone marrow aspiration and biopsy that arent needed at all, its so annoying because they started prednisolone treatment only after we denied the bone marrow aspiration and biopsy

Hello Doc, reaching you from Nigeria. Please i have this pain at the right side of my back that pain me more when i wake from sleep or stay at rest and reduces when i run or walk about. I saw a doctor sometime last 2 months and he prescribed neurovite and diclofenac, which actually subsided the pain totals but it has started again. It doesn't prevent me from doing my activities but surely makes me uncomfortable.

My hands feel like the bones or whatever get stuck sometimes. It's strange to try to explain, but it feels like it is splaying out, and getting stuck. It almost feels like it's going to cramp, but it doesn't. It is random, not always on the same spot or hand. Then it stops after a few seconds.

I get stiffness in joints morning if I have Citrus the day before?

TLDR: Semaglutide treatment is a potential game-changer for weight loss, especially for those with a BMI over 30 or over 27 with obesity-related conditions, who have struggled with previous weight loss attempts and are committed to long-term lifestyle changes. 00:00 💡 Semaglutide treatment is a revolutionary weight loss medication with potential for significant health benefits. 00:47 👥 A BMI greater than 30 makes someone a good candidate for semaglutide treatment. 01:09 💡 If your BMI is over 27 and you have obesity-related conditions like osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, or fatty liver, you may be a good candidate for semaglutide for weight loss. 01:37 💡 Consider Semaglutide for weight loss if you've struggled with previous attempts, are committed to long-term healthy lifestyle changes, and are interested in a physician-supervised program for ideal weight loss improvement.

Thank u for the info.

Tendonitis, arthritis (which type), inflammation. All I know is that I ate a bowl (about 2 cups) of wild blueberries last night (not for this purpose), along with avoiding foods that cause inflammation and today my shoulder, thumbs and wrists feel perfect. I have been suffering from an impingement or tendonitis in my shoulder, arthritis in the thumbs and wrists for the past 3 years. Hence, why I am now googling blueberries and inflammation. I hope I'm onto something. Ibuprofen stopped working. I was up to 4 at a time. Not a good idea.

Thank you for this video. It's very true.. I have severe pain in my hands over a year now. My doc Rheumatologist at first even thought is was likely Rheumatoid Arthritis. I do have a long history of Fibromyalgia though. We did all the blood test ANA and so on, but all were negative. Finally to confirm it an Ultrasound of my hands showed no Arthritis symptoms at all and no carpal tunnel. Joints actually look great. Needless to say the final diagnosis as of now is Fibromyalgia. Even I was pretty shocked that Fibromyalgia could manifest in my hands also.
