There’s a popular myth that if you’re vegan or vegetarian, you have a higher chance of getting the disease gout (metabolic arthritis), which is a condition in which crystals of monosodium urate or uric acid are deposited on the articular cartilage of joints, tendons and surrounding tissues. Is there anyone who can help me disprove this?

My mother has been suffering from pains all over her body. The pains are very intense. Yesterday she had a low grade fever verging on the boundary of a real fever. Can arthritis cause light fever?

My fiancee has been on dialysis for 3 years. He is 24.

Within the last month hes started having extreme pain and swelling in his wrists, knuckles, toes, ankles and outsides of his feet. It seems to be getting worse. Theres swelling in his fingers and ankles, pain to the lightest touch, sometimes tingling and the areas are often hot. He does feel weakness as well.

The pain is so severe the only thing thats come close to helping is Vicodin. He didn’t even need to take any Vicodin after surgery, this pain is that bad. He also has taken Advil and it seems to help a bit.

His doctor said this could be a protein build up from dialysis. Is this reversible or even treatable?

They think it could also be neuropathy. What are the chances of this, and is it reversible or treatable?

Is it just a type of arthritis?

Over active Parathyroid?

I’ve tried several conventional medications for Osteoarthritis and none of them help. Has anyone found any alternative way to treat this condition? Chinese herbs? I live in Los Angeles.
