Could you elaborate on how osteoarthritis can be a secondary condition to avascular necrosis? And how can avascular necrosis adversely affect a confirmed primary diagnosis of osteoarthriris?

Is there a scale (or a questionnaire) that measures risk for arthritis? We would like to include it in a research study with older registered nurses.

Is this also caused by Osteoarthritus or are you just born with it? What are the implications?

I’m a RA sufferer who has been taking Voltaren SL 100mg tabs for quite a while now. The only problem, is that they seeverely wear off by about dawn and the pain wakes me up and I can no longer get comfortable enough to get back to sleep. Can I take TWO of these, one in the am and one before bed even though they are time release without any side effects? I have been on Prednisone..could not tolerate that even at a low dosage. Helped the pain greatly, but made me VERY ILL! And Methotrexate is right out! Can you recommend anything. Typing this letter is extremely painful.

I’m from turkey,and I’m suffering as for nearly 2 years.my doctor advice me to use endol( contain indometzine) or naprosyn cr( contain naproksyn) and he thougth that infleximab is not good that those drugs.

I am hoping you can help me. I had Prostrate Cancer and subsequent surgery a year ago. I have improving incontinence issues. A few months ago, I developed a arthitis and a pinched nerve in my clavical vertebra. They put me on Bextra and I have increased my frequency to urinate, especially at night, getting up twice a night. Is this a common side effect of Bextra or being caused by Bextra?
