Then I started hearing about the potential benefits of omega-3s for arthritis and other inflammatory diseases.

Scientists observed that Inuit populations in Greenland had reduced a rate of heart disease rheumatoid arthritis and other ailments even though they ate a high-fat and high-cholesterol diet.

Inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease may also improve with omega-3 supplementation. The studies are just beginning.

Inflammation Some people think potatoes and other members of the nightshade family such as eggplants tomatoes and peppers trigger arthritis flares.

However there is limited scientific evidence to support this hypothesis according to the Arthritis Foundation. The organization suggests that people with arthritis try cutting nightshade vegetables from their diets for two weeks to see

if symptoms improve. Some studies suggest these vegetables may actually help reduce arthritis symptoms the foundation said.

For example a 2011 study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that potatoes may reduce inflammation.

#Gout: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Also called gouty arthritis gout is a painful form of arthritis caused by too much uric acid in the body.

The painful flare-ups may be concentrated in the big toe (a symptom known as podagra) as well as swelling and pain in the ankles knees feet wrists or elbows.

Left untreated gout can cause permanent damage to joints and kidneys according to the National institutes of health (NIH.

Gout is seen most commonly in men particularly those between the ages of 40 and 50.

Six million adults age 20 and older have reported being diagnosed with gout according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin diseases (NIAMS.

Gout is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis. It is caused by an elevation of serum uric acid levels that cause crystals to accumulate in the joints

which bring on a gout flare Dr. N. Lawrence Edwards professor of medicine rheumatology and clinical immunology at the University of Florida and chairman and CEO of the Gout & Uric acid Education Society told Live Science.

Uric acid is created a waste product during the normal breakdown of purines naturally occurring substances found in foods such as liver mushrooms anchovies mackerel and dried beans according to the NIAMS.

Deposits of the needle-like urate crystals are responsible for the inflammation and the painful symptoms of gout.

There are several factors that can make a person more susceptible to gout according to the NIH.

According to the Mayo Clinic common symptoms of gout are: Gout and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) both cause bumpy painful joints but they couldn't be more different.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the body's immune system attacks itself causing damage to tissue

and organs while gout has nothing to do with the immune system. Unfortunately when chronic it can involve many joints making it difficult to distinguish from rheumatoid arthritis Dr. Nathan Wei a rheumatologist

and director of the Arthritis Treatment Center in Frederick Maryland told Live Science. Obviously if the patient has a high level of rheumatoid factor

and anti-CCP that helps. However a few patients may have concomitant RA and gout. Gout and pseudogout closely resemble each other

but they each have very different characteristics. The amount of pain suffered by a patient with pseudogout is usually less than is experienced by a gout patient Edwards said.

The main difference between gout and pseudogout are the types of crystals that deposit into the joints and cause inflammation.

Edwards went on to point out that monosodium urate (MSU) crystals cause gout while pseudogout is caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals.

While gout has painful and distinctive symptoms during flare-ups its symptoms can be vague during other times.

A doctor may extract a sample of joint fluid so it can be examined under a microscope for any presence of urate crystals according to the NIAMS.

Certain joint infections can produce symptoms similar to gout. If an infection is suspected the doctor may check joint fluid for bacteria.

Blood tests can reveal the concentration of uric acid in the blood and further confirm the diagnosis

. However according to the Mayo Clinic blood tests can be misleading because some gout patients do not have an unusual level of uric acid in their blood

and some people with high levels of uric acid do not go on to develop gout. A patient s gout will not get better until they start taking uric-acid-lowering drugs.

Patients need to know that their serum uric acid level should be below the target of 6 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl.

While gout cannot be cured it can be managed better or even controlled completely with the right medications

and lifestyle choices Edwards said. In most cases long-term medications for lowering uric acid will be used to treat gout

and prevent flares gout. Generally patients with gout will need to be on these drugs for life.

If they stay on them over time their gout symptoms and risk of deformity or disability will be decreased greatly Edwards added.

The painful symptoms of gout can be alleviated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) which can reduce both pain and inflammation around the joints according to the University of Maryland.

Depending on the severity of the flare-ups patients can be treated with over-the-counter NSAIDS such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) or with prescription-strength painkillers such as indomethacin (available under the trade name Indocin.

Corticosteroids such as prednisone can be injected directly into the affected joints for relief within a few hours according to Mayo Clinic.

Another pain reliever commonly used to reduce gout pain is colchicine. It is most effective when taken within the first 12 hours of symptoms according to NIAMS.

Arthritis is the most common disease that can arise. Illness normally occurs 10-14 days after grazing starts.

These injuries--pitcher's elbow swimmer's shoulder runner's knee tennis elbow tendinitis--are the result of repetitive stress on tendons bones and joints.

and often debilitating osteoarthritis. The researchers found that mice fed a diet rich in the compound had significantly less cartilage damage

and osteoarthritis than those that were not. The study which also examined human cartilage cells

and cow cartilage tissue was funded by medical research charity Arthritis Research UK the Biotechnology and Biological sciences Research Council's (BBSRC) Diet and Health Research Industry Club (DRINC

and their findings are published today in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism. More than 8. 5 million people in the UK have osteoarthritis a degenerative disease affecting the hands feet spine hips and knees in particular.

According to Arthritis Research UK the annual cost of the condition to the NHS is £5. 2 billion.

In 2011 more than 77000 knee and 66000 hip replacements were carried out due to osteoarthritis--approximately one every four minutes.

Aging and obesity are the most common contributors to the condition and due to their effects the number of people in the UK consulting a GP about knee osteoarthritis alone could rise from 4. 7 million in 2010 to 8. 3 million by 2035.

Currently one in five people over the age of 45 has osteoarthritis in their knee.

There is no cure or effective treatment for the disease other than pain relief which is often inadequate or joint replacement.

Researchers from the School of Biological sciences and Norwich Medical school are now embarking on a small scale trial in osteoarthritis patients due to have knee replacement surgery to see

If successful they hope it will lead to funding for a large scale clinical trial to show the effect of broccoli on osteoarthritis joint function and pain itself.

Once you have osteoarthritis being able to slow its progress and the progression to surgery is really important.

Osteoarthritis is a major cause of disability. It is a huge health burden but a huge financial burden too which will get worse in an increasingly aging and obese population such as ours.

because it is about how diet might work in osteoarthritis. Once you know that you can look at other dietary compounds which could protect the joint

Developing new strategies for combating age-related diseases such as osteoarthritis is vital both to improve the quality of life for sufferers

Arthritis Research UK's medical director Prof Alan Silman said: This is an interesting study with promising results as it suggests that a common vegetable broccoli might have health benefits for people with osteoarthritis

and even possibly protect people from developing the disease in the first place. Until now research has failed to show that food

or diet can play any part in reducing the progression of osteoarthritis so if these findings can be replicated in humans it would be quite a breakthrough.

or low-fat milk may delay the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Results published in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) journal Arthritis Care

& Research show that women who ate cheese saw an increase in knee OA progression.

OA is a common degenerative joint disease that causes pain and swelling of joints in the hand hips or knee.

For the present study 2148 participants (3064 knees) with knee OA were recruited for the Osteoarthritis Initiative.
