I am especially interested in what happens to suspects with frozen shoulder syndrome who are being arrested.

My dog is a 6 year old, 75 pound mutt. 1/4 beagle, 1/4 bassett hound and 1/2 unknown (thought to be german shepard, lab, bloodhound or something large). Just recently, he’s been diagnosed with arthritis in his back and has some minor bulging discs. These have improved with treatment and bed rest but now he’s on prescription IAMS joint food and Synovi G chews both with high Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate. I’ve noticed a major improvement however the cost of IAMS prescription food has increased dramatically…from $50 for a 30lb bag to $70!!!!! I go through one bag a month so this is getting expensive. I’m calling around to get other prices however I’d also like to know if there’s other dry food options.

im really scared because the doctors say i probably have juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.. im only 15 and i don’t want hands like this!

I work in a hardware store and I have to resign because the pain is unbearable.

i had an operation last year for meniscus repair and now i have new kind of pain in the knee.
doctors have 2 opinions: 1) lubricating the knee by using injections (Suplasin injections)
2) doing an operation for polishing the cartilage of the patella.
i am looking for the best medicine/injections to avoid doing another knee operation.

I’ve had joint pain my entire life. Im now almost 29. it started with knee and ankle pain and now is more painful and effects my shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and ankles. I recently started to go to a specialist to find out whats going on. the first one did blood work and something came back positive so she referred me to an arthritis specialist. He basically told me he is sure I have Psoriatic arthritis. he noticed i have tiny lil pits in my fingernails( looks like they’ve been poked with a sewing needle) and right away made th assumption that i have psoriasis. i have never had any of the skin rashes or other symptoms of psoriasis. i find it strange and am very sceptical of this assumption. any and all info shared would be greatly appreciated!! thank u

I’ve just been diagnosed with degenerative joint disease. I’m only 46 and I’ve been dealing with this pain for at least 15 years. Is it common for someone as young as me to have severe degenerative joint disease?

For the past several days I have noticed that my joints have been aching. My ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, knuckles, and even my jaw. I’m in my late 20’s and I don’t think I should be experiencing arthritis just yet. I’m getting worried these might be symptoms of something bad. I have checked webmd already but I can’t find a straight answer. If anyone has experienced these symptoms or just knows what I might be going through, I would appreciate an answer. Thanks in advance!

Hello there,

I have a rescued 3 legged cat, who will be a year old on September 9th. (Spayed, UTD on shots, high quality grain-free diet, etc.) I was wondering when I should start putting her on joint supplements considering she is missing a back leg (she was born with a deformity). Right now, she’s young and clearly has no difficulties – so I haven’t started. Any ideas as to what I should start her with, and when? I want to prevent arthritis at all costs, but I’m sure it’s likely to happen anyways when she is much older. Eventually, as she grows – we may need to have her deformed stub of a 4th leg amputated – but again, we want to avoid that unless it must be done. I was thinking of starting her on a daily supplement when she is around two years old, but I want a holistic supplement (if such a thing exists). I know fish oil can be quite helpful, any other ideas?

Thanks.

My husband got an armband tattoo on upper arm. He had been having shoulder problems, which could have been arthritis or bursitis at the time. He’d been taking different meds with no improvement of the symptoms…until he got the tattoo. Within days the shoulder got better and hasn’t bothered him since. Coincidence or was there something related to the tattoo… I am thinking about the similarities of acupuncture and bee sting therapy I’ve seen on tv. What do you think?
