Awesome video, I was diagnosed as well with reactive arthritis last couple of years ago 2023 and in in 40 years of age, I do have flare-ups right now, and it's painful in my knee joint. I am taking Prednisone (steroids) and sulfasalazine at the moment. Affected parts knee joint, hip, and lower back neck. 🤕😟, am I going to suffer for the rest of my life? 😢
Oh, I am only learning this because I am a patient
I had reactive arteries after my COVID infection. In my case, many joints were affected.
Thank you for making and sharing the video
My husband has been diagnosed with this after a kidney infection. Nothing is working. He is on about 15 tablets a day. It’s been 5 months now and the strong anti inflammatory drugs are having distressing side effects. Any advice would be appreciated. The doctors just shrug their shoulders and say keep taking the medication. 🤷♀️
Hallo ich schreibe aus Deutschland mein Englisch ist nicht so gut.
Ich habe seit Monaten geschwollene Finger an beiden Händen die auch Schmerzen und sich schlecht bewegen lassen.
Ich war beim Rheumatologen und die umfassende Untersuchung ergab nichts auffälliges.
Könnte es trotzdem eine reaktive Arthritis sein?
What about severe abdominal pain? Mine started a week after food poisoning
I ve had reactive arthrisis 5 months now, it started with a big swelling of the knee aftzr dactylites of hand finger and toe, then back low pain and ankle. I can say im on remission since the swolling started to ease up but its not gone entirely. I hope this will go away completely as said from rhumatologist because its ruined my mental health and it impacted my professionnel life since im always thonking about it.
I have this at the moment after a UTI. It's been hell for 3 weeks and am on steroids.
Can it go into your hands? And toes?
Thank u so much for rheumatoid ❤️
I have this right now after simply using a wooden dental pick to clean my gums. I used the tooth pick on monday evening which caused an infection that spread rapidly to my throat and on Wednesday, today, I can’t walk, spent the night in the ER, and I can only walk with the aid of crutches, but just barely, it’s so painful. However, my father is a doctor so he diagnosed me immediately and I took an antibiotic as soon as I had the rapid spreading throat infection.
Owie 😢. Imagine having Gastroentritis and then this happens. My past weekend. Basically stopped eating for 3 or 4 days, ended up in hospital on a drip for 3 days.
Excellent precise video. You are excellent at explaining medical concepts. Will recommend this to medical students
I was diagnosed with prostatitis, but i dont really know if the diagnose was correct or not. The thing is that one day i wake up with extreme pain in my knee, and with urinary symptoms at the same time, and diarrea too, but the real thing is that i am healing, at slow rate, but i am healing, i started making excersice, i began supplementing with saw palmetto, and stinging nettle root, pumplin seeds, probiotics, prebiotics, eating just small amount of red meat per week, and my nutrition es really good right now. And basically my urinary problems are gone, only when i drink alot of alcohol my urinary symptoms come back, but if i dont drink alcohol i am completely fine right now, my knee is almost cured, is like 90% cured. I think the main problem with this is our intestine, i notice that when i eat bad, i began pooping green, and when i poo green the urinary symptoms come back again. If ihave good stomach and intestine i am really good, but whenever i eat bad for several days my symptoms come back. So i started with intense probiotics, and eating fermented foods to see if i can heal my gut bacteria completely and see what about my symptoms
Good video. I was diagnosed with this 40 years ago (aged 19). I had one flare-up of the knee about 5 years later but it was aspirated and no further complications. That flare-up was after a period of eating poorly/unhealthily.
I googled the names of all my issues and this came up. Back in January I think I ate bad kale because I had diarrhea for a week after that I got diagnosed with to diverticulitis. After that I got a UTI and I kept getting tests with an infection but no one knew what it was. I had to have ankle surgery in February and then I had all these issues because of that surgery and the recovery. I fell at the end of May on the left side of my body, opposite of my surgery spot and then in July I started getting out of nowhere left knee pain, lower back pain now upper back pain and elbow pain, and I wake up with swollen eyelids every day without even eating salty foods.
It all makes sense. I must’ve eaten some thing with salmonella and all of this happened. I have gotten tested for the STD stuck in closet and I am clean. I am going to the doctor to let her know what I think I have because it’s not normal. I have never felt so strange in my life. Not only was the ankle surgery intense but now this. My quality of life has diminished greatly. Thank you for the information.
Now I completely understand what I need man… 😢 I'm hurt
I was diagnosed with reactive arthritis a month ago and still have pain and stiffness in my right hand. Can't wait for it to be gone.
If only Med school Profs were as good as you in practical teaching. Love you're vids
My nephew, in his 30's, just came down with this. He had a UTI about a month ago. Multiple joints affected, his knees being the worst. In a lot of pain and can barely walk. Fortunately, he was seen by VA doc and started on Prednisone.
what about covid? i have joint pain after covid but not bilateral
I have this since 2019, nobody figured it out until February 2022 when I went to a rheumatology control. Yersinia IgG was positive. In 2019 prostatitis was present as well as joint pain and diarrhea. No fever. Besides that I had lipomas growing very fast. In 2022 i had very bad joint pain in my arms so from there they have start searching for bacterial infection because the blood analysis were perfect, still searching for my treatment, I'm on my third antibiotic scheme. Hope this works…
Sometimes my ANA test positive sometimes negative why is it?
Thanks very much good luck😇
Oh my god, what a great video. The GP I just saw was useless at explaining what you explained amazingly well. Not everyone can teach I guess.
Hi I have this bit non septic can this cause massive inflammation in your elbow joint and fore arm ? Was red and warm no it isn’t very red but it feels very heavy Thanks
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, very informative!
It's 2022 and you need to update this informative video to include Post Covid Reactive Arthritis.
What is the prognosis of this disease?
