I have an 11 year old Rottweiler who has pretty bad arthritis.He limps when he walks but it does not look like he is in a lot of pain.We try to take him for a 5 minute walk(thats all he can do) every night. Is this good for him or bad.He has a very cushiony bed too. It is mostly in his hips.

What are some home remedys that help reduce arthritis in dogs?
Also we dont want to use any sort of medication if possible.

My dog is 13 years of age. Over the past year, his hip pain has obviously worsened. I give him a prescribed (from my vet) pain killer – which helps a little. He recently had blood tests – and he was found to be healthy for his age. 1. Is $50 a session for my dog a good deal? 2. Can acupuncture improve my dog’s arthritis issues? Please, serious, informed answers only. Thanks everyone.

I currently have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and it would be nice to speak with others who have the same.

My 6 and a half year old dalmatian has recently looked a bit stiff. The vet thinks his right hip is in the earliest stages of arthritis, but not bad enough for meds yet. I’ve been giving him 1000mg capsules of cod liver oil every so often for about 6 months. It’s the same stuff I take myself. I’ve upped the dosage to 1 capsule a day. Does anyone have any views or experience?

I am 41 and for the first time in my entire life my cycle was 43 days starting spotting and have not stopped spotting for 2 wks, of course we thought we were pregnant at first but test are all neg. with no other symptoms of menapause I wonder if it is that. My intamacy climax is better than ever (more intense, more feeling). My mood is good, I laugh more lately. It seems my matabalizum is getting higher/faster, I am eating more and loosing weight. My body has been stiff with arthritis for many years but now I’m more flexible than I can remember ever being. I have for many years dealt with swelling in my ankles that has been lessoning daily. No hot flashes, no headachs, no night sweats, you know all the things we as women are taught to watch out for so we know when that time is coming. Am I stating my menapause or am I going through just some cycle changing? Is there other women who have gone through something similar? What is it really?
no meds, thanks every one for responding, sorry some have been less than nice to you all for giving your take on my situation, I appreciate you all

hello, my mother has bad rheumatoid arthritis, and is trying to not take too much medicine (pills) so she doesnt have to face addiction and the fact that her body will become dependent on chemicals. I work out, so i bought some whey protein (A LOT!) and i was wondering if it would help relieve some of her rheumatoid arthritis if she had some every day. i saw something online about it and arthritis, just not sure which one…. 10 points best answer

Hello all,
I have been suffering from Rheumatoid arthritis of the spine, namely ankylosing spondylitis. I need help urgently, kindly guide me to a very good doctor, who has very good reviews, and is very well known in the New Jersey area!!

I have already lost 55 pounds without exercise. But I need some exercise that doesn’t put me in pain for a week before I can exercise again. My back hurts when I run on me tread mill and my knees hurt severly after exercises.

I have rheumatoid arthritis for many years. Nowadays I feel very pain.

Ok so many years ago my mom had kiaser and she had a very painful abdominal pain. Kaiser did so many test and told her no your fine theres nothing wrong with you. She changed inscurance and went to a diffrent doctor and he told her she had endo. So she did have something. Now this year she had no choice and had to take the inscurance of Kiaser again after have a c-section of her 3rd baby. Now ever since the surgery which was 11 months ago she has had pain in her abdomin. Kiaser said she is fine all they did was give her pills. Later she started have stomach pain , back pain , and arthritis symptoms. And they say no theres nothing wrong your fine you don’t have anything. So if we can prove she has something is that good enough to sue?
ok I want to sue kiaser because they run medical test on my mom on all her problems and still claim she is fine and theres nothing wrong . How can they say that if she suffering with so much pain ?And if we can prove there is something wrong with her . Would we be able to sue?
she has tried diffrent doctors from kiaser from sacramento all the way to san fransisco . All the doctors do the same thing its there polcies. I am tired of seeing my mom sick. I HATE KIASER .
