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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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'm 20 and I'm experiencing a lot of body pain, just like I did three years ago. Back then, the doctor told me I had ASO titre positive after doing a blood test and recommended penidure injections and ecosprin tablets. I've been feeling this way again for the past three days. Could you please let me know what I should do next?
It sounds like your symptoms may be related to a recurrence of a condition like rheumatic fever. Please consult a doctor promptly for a detailed evaluation, including an ASO titer test and possibly other investigations. Early treatment with appropriate medication, like antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, is important to prevent complications.

My wife recently went to the doctor because she's been having some joint pain. She's only 33, and the doctor recommended a CBP test and an ESR test. The results show her Total WBC Count is 11200, her absolute lymphocyte count is 4480, and her ESR is 22. I did a bit of research online and found out that a high WBC count could be alarming and might even indicate cancer. Are these results something we should be really worried about? Do they suggest anything serious we should be aware of?
Thats not at all related to cancer,it signifies acute microbial infection no need to worry and donot over think,follow your doctors advice

I've been cracking my fingers in an unusual way, like sideways, which puts a lot of pressure on my joints. It's become a bad habit over the years. Now, the joints have grown, but theres no pain or tightnessjust feels a bit odd, though it seems normal to me. The thing is, it doesnt look normal; there's growth around the joints, especially the IP joints. When I touch them, it feels like theres extra tissue, and I can move it without any pain. Im curious about what this could be. Any ideas what's going on with my fingers?
