Vitamin D. Scientists who study rheumatoid arthritis have found that people who have the condition often lack vitamin D. Low levels of this essential nutrient may lead to chronic pain. When you take it as a supplement, it could help your arthritis treatment work better.
That’s a complicated question. Labral tears are often seen in the setting of osteoarthritis. PRP can help reduce pain and symptoms for hip OA, including those with labral tears. There are more anecdotal evidence that yes PRP can help treat labral tears in the absence of OA. It helps reduce pain and symptoms but doesn’t “regenerate” it.
I know this makes no sense, but taking 10,000 IU of Vitamin D gives me foot pain. I have stopped taking it a few times now and 3 days after stopping the pain starts to go away. I wish someone could explain this..?
Very interesting! I got rid of my pain in wrists and fingers, and I can say that four of my friends repeated it. Two things: 1) Related to what you mentioned :) These days our packaged food is loaded with sugar, refined carbs, cheap vegetable seed oils that cause insulin resistance and chronic inflammation. Quit using that, return to the food your great grand parents ate. Too bad that over 90% of the supermarket isles are a no go area... All this food promotes inflammation, and yes, arthritis IS inflammation 🔥 2) Almost no doctor knows this, but some pharmacists perhaps know it.. In countries where the soil has no BORON (an element with properties close to Silicon), like Haiti, arthritis is abundant. In areas where Boron is mined, and it is in drinking water and vegetation, almost no arthritis occurs, like in Israel, Turkey and some areas in the USA. I make my own supplement, a low dose of boron in water. After 4-8 weeks I was pain free, and this works for 70-80% of people. Do your own research! Don't believe me on my blue eyes, everybody is responsible for his/her own health! You may search and download pdf's "Nothing boring about Boron" and "The Boron conspiracy". Then there is a Dr. Jorge Flechas with presentations on RU-vid. Very interesting and useful. You have to be persistent, but you'll find him. Again, it worked for me. So: Avoid inflammation and insulin resistance, those are leading causes for inflammation, disease and early death. Having said that: if you smoke, or use alcohol: QUIT doing that.. Not helpful. If you can, quit or minimize pain medication like Tylenol, Ibuprofen. It is a burden for your liver. Also stop using all the bad vegetable oils, only saturated oils are ok, butter ok, avocado, coconut, olive oil ok. Bad are rape seed, canola, cottonseed, soy, sunflower oils, margarine. They are easily oxidized and promote chronic inflammation. I hope you are not a vegan or vegetarian, meat is ok, processed meat only occasional. Forget the junk food, prepare your own stuff with products your great great grandmother would use. Eggs are super, if you can afford organic source. Seeds like pumpkin and sunflower seeds are good, some nuts, if you like it: fatty fish! Caught, not farmed. If you use refined carbs and sugar, quit those as much as possible.. Not easy, I know. Treat yourself as being diabetic, unless you lived a healthy life. I do intermittent fasting, I always skip breakfast. Oh, bread and cereals, cookies, cakes, deserts, sweets, most chocolate, sweet fruit, sodas are refined carbs too ❌ If you use medicines, find out for yourself what undesired effects they may have.. In that case do your own research for better alternatives and discuss this with your doctor. Never make changes without medical advice. As said. I use Boron, that is a great supplement for bones! It regulates calcium, magnesium and phosphor. Also regulates testosterone, estrogen, and helps your brain. It is anti-inflammatory, and anti-molds. May help sleeping better. Very good against osteoporosis, when combined with vit D3, K2(!!), magnesium. I make my own Boron supplement. I purchased borax on the internet. Some $10=€10 per kg, this is good for 30 years of use! Dead cheap!! I dissolve 10 grams borax in 500 ml water. 1 ml solution contains 2 mg of active Boron. I take 5 ml daily, that equals 10 mg elemental Boron. Most important is healthy food and doing your own searches on Google and RU-vid. 🙏🏻💚
2000 mg is the recommended dose. They also might be worried it could interact with a medication. I would talk with your doctor about their reasoning and ask if you can return to your old dose. If they are concerned about your desires you can always follow up with a blood test to check your levels.
I don't think the average Dr. had more than a few hours of class time to discuss ALL the vitamins and minerals. Most Dr. think of D as necessary for basic bone health and not much more. IMO, 2K is kind of a bad joke. We need *many* thousands of IU per day! Adjust your dose, get re-tested, and target ~70ng or better 25-D blood levels. Immune cells are less able to capture D from the blood, so they need higher higher levels to be activated and to then properly modulate our immune system.
Who cares if vitamin D “does” this or that 🙄 It’s not a medication. The question is whether significantly increasing the levels of vitamin D deficient (or “insufficient”) patients improves whatever symptomatology they’re presenting with.
