I have heel spurs. The pain is under control, but I worry about this getting worse. What causes heel spurs? Is it caused by ingesting too much calcium? How about a vitamin deficiency?
Over the past 3 weeks, Ive developed pain in my ankles, Achilles tendon, knee and elbows. The pain is minor to severe, and it feels like the pain moves from joint to joint. I havent changed my routine or had any injuries. So what could cause this?
Ive had sciatica for a couple of weeks now. Id like to exercise, but I dont seem to get any better or worse whether I do or dont. The pain is worse at night and first thing in the morning. Ive had X-rays, but they dont show anything. Can I exercise 4 days a week to keep on my fitness schedule? My back doesnt hurt at all its just the sciatica.
Can recent vaccinations cause a false positive elevation in an antibody test for rheumatoid arthritis? I recently had a hepatitis and HPV vaccine and two weeks later, my test came back with an elevated level of 36.
I sometimes get muscle cramps so severe that I can't use the stairs. I am into weight lifting, but never work the same muscle groups on back-to-back days. I get plenty of water and potassium. Any ideas what could cause this?
I have type 2 diabetes. My blood sugar runs high in the morning, especially if I am in pain. I have arthritis and neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. Why is my sugar running high in the morning, especially when my pain is worse?
