  1. I'm a 52 year old man who has osteoarthritis in my hips, sholder,neck, and back, but not too serious at this stage.
    The only thing different in the last month is finger joint pain in both hands.
    My concern is that I've had rheumatoid arthritis and I've been misdiagnosed.
    My doctor is a bit dismissive in my opinion and tells me , theirs nothing he can do.
    He won't even forward me for an mri.
    My condition has been diagnosed with xrays.
    Although I've been diagnosed with xrays, I'm concerned that I have rheumatoid arthritis and not osteoarthritis

  2. I have a negative blood test. No swelling , no inflammation, no redness, no morning stiffness. Pain only on my right hand ( Ringfinger) . No fever or fatigue. Pain gets better when I take an antihistamine. Doctor thinks I have Seronegative RA

  3. The best way to reduce rheumatoid is to eat raw ginger before meals same like salad, especially in the afternoon. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that can help manage the condition and improve overall well-being. Additionally, consuming fresh, unprocessed food and avoiding cold items can further support joint health and reduce discomfort.its changed our life.😊

  4. I have Osteoarthritis in many joints in both hands. And some joints are also swelling up with time. Also, there is a narrowing between the bones in the joints affected. And I can have pain all night and all day. So, for some it may appear to be Rheumatoid arthritis, but x-rays and blood tests have confirmed the diagnosis. Extremely overworked hands have caused my issues.

  5. I'm 20 years old, I've been suffering from this since I was 17. And here's what I want to tell you: my disease is not as terrible as the treatment. I take methotrixate every week and it's misery. Side effects like chemotherapy.

  6. The idea that osteoarthritis is caused by simple mechanical "wear and tear" is outdated. The current theory is that it is caused by a degradation of the joint due to a combination of non-mechanical factors such as inflammation and metabolism. See for example Abramoff & Caldera (2020) for more information about this.
