My mom has had arthritis for 15 years and is on medication but hasn't had any surgery. What kind of home exercise equipment would be best for her would an elliptical or treadmill be okay for her condition?

For your mother, who has had arthritis for 15 years but hasn't had surgery, an elliptical trainer would be a better choice than a treadmill for home exercise. Ellipticals offer low-impact, which is gentler on the joints, especially important for people with arthritis

View allI recently got my blood and urine tests done for insurance purposes, and the results are a bit concerning. The report says my ESR, which I believe stands for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, is high. Plus, there's some abnormal protein showing up in my urine. I'm not quite sure what all this means. Could you help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take to bring these readings back to normal?

I'm just wondering if it's okay for me to crush my 50mg Tramadol and mix it with some applesauce. I have rheumatoid arthritis and use Tramadol sometimes for pain relief. Is this safe?

I'm dealing with this recurring issue where my uric acid levels get high. I've been diagnosed with gout arthritis in the past, and I've been taking Febustat 40 daily whenever I notice any pain or swelling. I've tried taking it twice a day, which seems to help, but if I stop for a while, the pain comes back. It used to only affect my right knee, but now it's happening in my left knee too. What should I do about this? Is there a better way to manage it?
