www.scalarwavelasers.com www.scalarwavelasers.com A medical experiment was conducted in a randomized, crossover, single-blind, placebo-controlled fashion on house painters, typists, computer operators, and other usual victims of carpal tunnel syndrome. The results were revealing and provided health professionals in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia proof that permanent relief for acute and chronic wrist pain is readily available. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a common defect of the wrist and hand, is a disability affecting several million people in Western industrialized nations. It is caused by pressure on the middle nerve in the wrist’s carpal tunnel. The condition offers much pain and often prevents the sufferer from pursuing any occupation involving wrist movement. The syndrome is seen more often in women, especially in pregnant as well as menopausal women. Symptoms may result from a blow, swelling, a tumor, rheumatoid arthritis, or an overly small carpal tunnel that squeezes the nerve. The median (middle) nerve serves a person’s palm and thumb side of the hand. Pressure on the nerve causes multiple symptoms: weakness, pain when the thumb is bent toward the palm, as well as burning, tingling, and/or aching that may spread to the forearm and the shoulder. Weakness and wasting of muscles may occur from lack of wrist movement, getting in the way of full use of the thumb and fingers. Pain may be either infrequent or constant and is often most intense at night …

Question by Willalee: Arthritis pain question – regarding the back of the knee?
I have rheumatoid arthritis, am 26 years old and since moving to Denver have NEVER had so much pain with it! Sure there have been times my whole body would flare up and it wouldn’t be pleasant – but I am noticing more localized pain – specifically the BACK of my knees, my hips, and my shoulders – as well of course as toes and fingers. Why would it be so localized like this and what can I do?

Yes, I am overweight, but have been working on it! This month lost 16 lbs! YAY ME! I also sit long hours for work… but no more than I was before I moved here and am still doing my yoga, belly dancing and walking.

Knee Surgery For Arthritis

An Alarming Study Shows Arthritis knee surgery May Not Be The Best Option

With arthritis of the knee, it has been noticed that the more the patient of such a condition walks, the more the knee will hurt. Many people would thus be gravitated toward having arthritis knee surgery to get relief though there is some shocking and surprising news concerning such a course of action. According to a study conducted on arthritis knee surgery on elderly patients, it has been determined that there are potentially harmful effects to such a course of action, and that in fact, it will not significantly help improve the patient’s condition.

Severely Impacts The Health Care Community

Such a surprising outcome of studies conducted on arthritis knee surgery may severely impact the health care community, and change the way in which such arthritis knee surgery will be performed in future on the, it is believed, more than 300,000 Americans that need to get treated for knee arthritis. Such arthritis knee surgery is no doubt performed to provide relief from the pain of osteoarthritis, and for the continual worsening of the joints due to wear and tear that is supposed to affect as many as twelve percent of the senior citizen population.

An arthritis knee surgery involves clearing out the debris and also repairing the affected cartilage that may have been damaged, and it would mean making tiny incisions so that the healing process takes place quickly. The study that was conducted had two kinds of patients in their study that included those that actually had arthritis knee surgery and those that had sham surgery. It was found that the latter kind of patients had no difficulty in climbing stairs and could walk faster than those who had had an actual arthritis knee surgery.

This is indeed quite alarming and along with the cost of having arthritis knee surgery that can total as much as five thousand dollars per individual and approximately one and a half billion for the industry, can lead one to think that wouldn’t the patient be better off spending the money on something more useful and effective.

Such findings have even led many insurance companies into refusing to pay for arthritis knee surgery. In fact, there are a number of alternatives to consider such as using hot packs, taking pain relievers as well as cortisone shots, and arthritis knee surgery should only be considered as a last resort. Whatever may be the merits of such a study, it certainly does put some doubts in the minds of a number of doctors, which may lead them to using such an alternative only under certain circumstances like when the patient has an acute sports injury to ligaments.
