When doctors told me I had osteoarthritis I started searching for solutions and I found about the inflammation issue. I started a keto diet, today low carb diet, and I feel much better. Low carb diets reduce inflammation and help a lot

[@mvl6827]

I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my early 60’s, but probably the diseasewas there already many years earlier. My fulltime job was gardener, on hands and knees a lot of the time and always on the move. I have never been obese or even overweight. Wear and Tear was the likely cause of my hip pain. Now I am almost 70, retired for two years and the pain comes and goes in the course of a year. I hardly ever take ibuprofen but if I do it works. I do tai chi, other exercises, walk and undergo radon therapy once a year. This therapy works a dream. I try and avoid any operation and artificial hip replacement. So far so good. Thank you for your informative video’s. They are very helpful.

[@kv7654]

Thank you for this! I was told that it’s not from inflammation, but from wear and tear. I knew that wasn’t the case because, firstly, I’ve been careful with my joints my whole life. But, secondly, when I’m eating non inflammatory foods, my pain is close to zero. Literally an hour after eating sugar, my joints go crazy for a few days. Also, movement does really help me.

[@amoracrochetbali8653]

Yesssssss food is everything........ I stopped eating processed meat, fried food, soda,...... the pain is nearly zero and I was prognosed with osteoarthritis stage 3......

[@berniefynn6623]

I have found lemon juice a great help, the flavanoids are anti inflammatory, other fruits have them as well.

I read that a lot of people are incorrectly misdiagnosed as osteo even if rhumatoid. The blood tests can be a false negative as well

You could research Grounding, also called Earthing. The expert on this is Clint Ober and he has many videos and a website. I’ve been carefully studying his information and think it has validity. It can’t hurt, and it’s worth a try. It’s too cold out right now, but I will definitely be trying it for my hip and back pain. I will also buy a grounding pad for the house. Unfortunately, they don’t ship their products to Canada, but we have some items up here. Just a thought. Actually, when we had a couple of milder days, I tried it outside and I think it helped, temporarily, but maybe my imagination. I try everything, if it’s not harmful. Any improvement is welcome.

[@johnormsby2034]

I've learnt somethings & I've had a very important point reinforced, that is "Use it or Lose it!" When I'm feeling stiff all over my body I do stretches, then hop on my Treadmill & then Rowing machine. Then I workout on my Bullworker for strength, and after an hour, I feel like a man half my 70yr old age! So much more flexible. The fact that there won't be any damage done to the joints during the exercise phase, is so reassuring. Thank you Doctor👍 p.s: 9yrs ago, my Orthopaedic Surgeon highly recommended I have an immediate double knee & double hip joint replacement, but I declined & had my left knee meniscus removed only! I live a full healthy life, relatively Pain Free.

Your advice sounds good doctor but I must be the exception. I was on the omad diet which is one meal a day, for one year 7 months. I lost 66 lb. I had been mildly limping during this time with an undiagnosed case of osteoarthritis. I was also doing regular vigorous exercise by biking 14 miles to the beach. By the way I am currently 72 years old. At the end of one particular bike ride, I felt a great deal of pain in my left hip and I was barely able to make it back home and suffered severe pain the next two weeks before I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis by an orthopedic doctor. He looked at my x-ray and in the first 30 seconds of the appointment said I need a total hip replacement. There's not enough room to tell you the whole story. Suffice to say diet and exercise did not work for me. But of course it is the necessary and proper thing to do for everyone. Not all stories have a happy ending.

[@DigitalNomadPhysicians]

The idea that osteoarthritis is progressive and nothing can be done is outdated and this is a great video as to why. Not only can the pain response be decreased through the desensitiazation, as Dr Furlan explained, but the local inflammation and damage can be controlled through particuar exercise. Great video, as always.

One thing I learned if the pain is not in ur mind if it’s a real pain it doesn’t get better with anything I have done everything and I am still in pain !!!!!

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

There is no such thing as unreal pain. All pains are real and all pains are in the mind. Nobody can separate the mind from the body. The brain is connected with everything and it controls everything, even pain sensations.

[@Ladynipchick2]

I'm baffled. I injured my left shoulder in the gym 6 years ago. I had progressive pain for all those years, until X ray, then CT scan and MRI showed that virtually all the cartilage was destroyed. I felt I had no option but to go ahead and have a shoulder replacement. However, I have always been slim and active (apart from pregnancies!) and have no signs of osteoarthritis anywhere else in my body - and I'm saying this because all my other joints move freely, although a couple of fingers are becoming harder to bend. Also had Dexascan last year which showed low risk of fracture. I honestly don't understand what my body is playing at. How could I lose cartilage and be grinding bone on bone in one joint only? I must be missing something. So frightened it will happen to other joints. 😢

[@YourWellnessJournal]

You are my go to doc for chronic pain. Great vid. For arthritis, I like these tips too: These are really great tips, doc.Here are also some tips your viewers could use: 1. Regular Exercise: Engage in low-impact exercises like swimming, walking, or cycling to maintain joint flexibility and strengthen muscles. Consult with your healthcare provider or a physical therapist to create a suitable exercise plan. 2. Balanced Diet: Consume a well-balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish may help reduce inflammation. 3. Medication Adherence: Take prescribed medications as directed by your healthcare provider. Consistency is key in managing symptoms and preventing flare-ups. 4. Joint Protection: Use assistive devices or adaptive tools to ease strain on your joints. For example, ergonomic tools in the kitchen or using a cane for added support while walking. 5. Hot and Cold Therapy: Apply heat or cold packs to affected joints to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. Heat can help relax muscles, while cold can numb pain and reduce swelling. 6. Manage Stress: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. Stress can contribute to inflammation and exacerbate arthritis symptoms. 7. Adequate Rest: Ensure you get enough restorative sleep. Establish a regular sleep schedule and create a comfortable sleep environment. 8. Weight Management: Maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on your joints. Losing excess weight can alleviate pain and improve overall joint function. 9. Regular Check-ups: Keep regular appointments with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition, adjust medications if necessary, and address any concerns. 10, Stay Informed: Educate yourself about rheumatoid arthritis to better understand your condition. Being informed empowers you to make lifestyle choices that positively impact your health. Remember, it's crucial to work closely with your healthcare team to tailor a management plan that suits your specific needs and to address any concerns or changes in your condition promptly.

Hi Smart Boy. Osteoarthritis is one type of arthritis. Arthritis just means there is inflammation in the joint. Osteoarthritis is a type of slow, low-grade, chronic inflammation. The other types of arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gout, ankylosing spondyliits, etc.

There’s a surgical procedure in which a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid is injected into the knee. It’s meant to replace the cartilage in the knee. There’s also platelet rich plasma surgery in which your own blood is spun in a machine and injected into your knee. It’s meant to facilitate the healing of knee pain. I’ve never had knee surgery so I can’t attest to whether these procedures work. Whenever I have knee pain, I get a massage and use over-the-counter ointment.

[@DrAndreaFurlan]

Hi Leonard, I know these procedures but I rarely recommend them to my patients. If the person doesn't do the 4 things I mention in this video there is no point in getting those expensive injections!

Extra plus point is the inclusion of the latest medical information, best would be even independent institutions which provide medical practitioners knowledges and facts that no medical students would learn at normal universities. Huge thanks 🙏💯

My husband is normal weight, very active, and has osteoarthritis from years of speed skating why didn’t his activity prevent arthritis?

Hi Joyce, I don't have all information to give you medical opinion. There are too many factors involved, including genetics. Please ask his doctor.

I have a displastic left hip since I was born. Basically my joint socket is too shallow to cover the whole joint, therefore lot of friction happening there ,causing this inflammation, so clearly my osteoarthritis in my left hip was caused by the wrong mechanics and wear and tier, since my other joints are ok.
