Re: degenerative bone disease
I have developed red hard bonelike bumps on a few fingers first joints below the nails. Instead of running to the doctor I run to the computer now and google stuff (no wonder those guys are the richest in the world) and came up with bone spurs-- and that they're a sign of degenerative bone disease of the spine! I've had lower back pain for a year now and I thought it was normal from age and letting my waist line go.
Then I come ask you for natural help. (you deserve to be rich!) Is there anything I can do to prevent bone disease? There's no reason to go to a doctor for this is there?
If it simple degenerative bone disease then this is really easy to address. Read my write up on the Bone and Joint Formula. But this sounds possibly like rheumatoid arthritis as well, which would be addressed in a different manner. You can still work on strengthening the skeletal system regardless, especially for your back. And this can also help keep down the joint inflammation. But it would also be a good idea to have a few tests run such as an ANA to make sure it is not rheumatoid arthritis. Left untreated it could lead to bone formation and fusion.
A few symptoms of RA include heat in the joints from the inflammation and people will generally run a low grade fever.
