Hi,
I have read at many places that infrared therapy is very effective in giving reliefs from arthritis pains?
Have you heard about it or have first hand knowledge about it?
Do you know about side affects of it, if any?
Do you know someone personally who has used it and have benefited by it?
Thanks,
Ashish

Hi Guys
I am new in USA. my wife has Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and is taking medication prescribed when we were in our home country.
1. my first question is How much is the cost of RA treatment in USA? i mean an estimated monthly cost..
2. and what specific coverages i will have to look for in her case if i go for buying an insurance (considering that RA is a chronic disease and requires taking medicines continuously for several years)
kindly help us out !
I have a moderate case of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and have been on pretty strong medications for it since I was 2 years old. I currently have a 3 1/2 month old and am breast feeding so I can not take any medication. I am in a lot of pain but do not want to sacrifice the breast feeding so I am looking for another option. Example: a special diet or anything???
My friend had a boyfriend 3 years ago. At that time, 3 years ago, her boyfriend had symmetrical joint pain and stiffness and swelling. 3 years later she has reactive arthritis?

CAN Chlamydia infection trigger reactive arthritis 3 years after infection?
I've got some arthritis in my ankles, my ankle gets swollen sometimes and the podiatrist said it's from instability.. I'm trying to figure out what kind of shoe or sandal do I need in order to accommodate this problem?
I'm guessing nothing that "wobbles" but what else should I look for?
My grandmother suffers from intense gouty arthritis and has been hospitalized numerous times in the previous years. Other than changing her diet and excercise, are there any highly renowned supplements that have had alot of positive reviews? Cherry supplements seem to be popular but I cant seem to find any that encompass a variety of natural herbs. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, "Crushed nuts?"
"No," he replied, "Arthritis."
Is it normal to have arthritis or your bones hurt at the age of 25? Some of my joints have been really hurting ....such as my fingers. They really hurt in the cold or when for instance the next day after building a dog house....I also wake in the morning sometimes and they just hurt from my hand being in one state for so long....is this normal for a 25 year old?
