Finally a knee guaranteed to work or your money back. The only kne brace proven to unload the knee compartment is the Bledsoe Unloader -"ThrusterII" When you see your health care provider only accept this product. Trust me it works. All other forms of bracing fails to compare in my opinion. Want more information go to their website. bledsoebrace.com

I'll be having some carpal tunnel surgery performed but there is a long wait and it will probably be at least 8 months until the procedure is performed. Is there anything in particular I can do to alleviate the pain? It becomes very problematic when I sleep as the cramps often awakens me. Any suggestions will be sorely appreciated.

Would anybody send me any info about this forum?Please. --- MAF Anti-Spam ID: 20040302033851W0p4CzZ9

Hi - First time posting here. My partner (female) is looking for anyone who also has psoriatic arthropathy (the form of psoriasis that goes into the joints, producing a sort of arthritis) and tendon involvement. She discovered only relatively recently that pain from the tendons is a serious part of the condition too, and would like to be in touch with anyone else in this boat, and talk about experience, remedies etc. Cheers!

Last spring I was diagnosed with having arthritis. This was kind of surprising to me since I turned 30 last year. Like a lot of people I had always associated arthritis with older people. My doctor didn't actually tell me what type of arthritis I have. He xrayed my knee and told me that it was inflammed. Is the inflammation associated with both osteoartritis and rhemotoid arthritis? If so, how can I tell which one that I have? I went to the a few years ago for soreness in my left hand and...

Athritis symptoms? Joint pains? Kidney problems? General malaise? We know why! Before you again consider taking antibiotics, try using Waterfall D-Mannose to clear up and prevent bladder infections and cystitis, because a lot of men and women are still unnecessarily suffering from the effects of antibiotics, and their sometimes deadly side-effects, particularly with broad-spectrum antibiotics. Fluoroquinolene based antibiotics are particularly dangerous. You can read more abut the subject...

Osteoarthritis is most commonly seen in the knees, hip and ankle joints.

What if we send all unproductive retirees to 3rd world countries where caregiver salaries are cheaper and climates are more favorable to rheumatism? Rich countries will then save money from pension and healthcare costs. Unproductive retirees will be sent to central africa, central america, and south east asia, (near the equator/tropics ideal climates for rheumatism). And those countries will benefit too by earning income. Healthcare costs will skyrocket soon because retiring baby boomers...
