greenspun.com : LUSENET : Freedom! self reliance : One Thread

I'm 27yrs old male and I've been suffring from acute pain in knees since the age of 13yrs. Initially the intensity of pain was very high and confined to knee only. But since last 5 years it has spread to several joints and back also. I always have a soar throat and feel fever from inside.The pain in joints increases in monsoon and winter season. According to my blood test report my RH Factor is -ve and ASO is 200. I suspect Rheumatic fever and I want advice from you about what treatment should I undergo? Is Homeopathic treatment will be a bettter option?

This is not exaclty an answer but I may have a similar problem. I liv in Guyana, South America. I have recently sprained my left ankle after slipping down the stairs at work.

The problem is that since that happened werid things start happening to me.....My right knee pains trememdoulsy and also the heel of both feet. Sometimes the pain is so much that i cant walk on it...I would sometimes have the fever to in addition to the sore throat....In addition both feet would swell - caused (according to the doctors) circulation problems...

I have been to see many doctors but they keep making alot of excuses ..Im not sure they know whats wrong with me......I did tests for RA Factor, SLE and C-Reactive Protein....n all came back -ve....

I have now taken it upon myself to try to find my own cure....Im using Caltrate(calcuim) twice daily along with Vitamin E....which help with passing of oxygen throuhout the blood....alas im still troubled witt the pain.......

Im on Diclofenac SR....which suppose to ease the pain...I cant do without the pill now....

If u have found someway of helping this problem kindly reply....

Thank you ever so much....
