Osteoarthritis Q & A

I have been confirmed with DISH, but could I also have some other type of arthritis? I have arthritis pain in hips, knees, and throughout my body.

What is edema in the bone (leg)?

Cold weather can afect people with arthritis?

If a person cracks their knuckles or joints will this cause arthritis?

Is it possible to use the procedure of vertebroplasty to help correct and manage the pain of osteoarthritis, and is so could you please send me information about this. Also, could you send me the articles that you had listed last month in your newsfeed about this procedure and also about the procedure of kyphoplasty.

I have severe OA. In desperation I saw a D.O. in Baltimore who does not treat conventionally. He ordered a mercury level test as he feels this could be a cause of the arthritis. He does not accept medicare. Do you have any information on this?My primary care Dr. does not think this is necessary.
