View allMy mom is 55 and has severe rheumatoid arthritis she's already had knee and hip replacements, and now her shoulder and neck joints are wearing out. Her doctor recommended Humira, but I'm wondering how effective it would be for such an advanced case. Will it give her long-term relief, or are there other treatment options we should consider?
For your mother's advanced rheumatoid arthritis, Humira (a biologic DMARD) can be effective in slowing disease progression and providing pain relief, but it's not a cure. Other treatment options, including other DMARDs and lifestyle adjustments, should also be considered

I'm having a lot of pain in my right foot, and it turns out my uric acid level is at 8.6. I'm worried because it seems to be causing the pain. What are some ways I can lower my uric acid levels and manage this discomfort better?
To control uric acid levels and manage the pain in your right foot, you can start by making some lifestyle changes. Avoid foods high in purines such as red meat, organ meats, and certain types of seafood. Drink plenty of water to help flush out uric acid from your body. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medication such as Allopurinol at a dosage of 100-300mg daily to help lower uric acid levels. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations closely and attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

How can I treat cervical spondylitis permanently without surgery? I really want to avoid an operation and prefer natural methods like medicine and exercises what's the best way to manage this long-term?
The chiropractor may manipulate your spine or perform massage to relieve symptoms. The treatment is typically done after X-rays of the cervical spine have been completed. Both massage therapy and acupuncture are being studied to treat neck pain. Some early results suggest that both may be helpful.
