Topic: Rheumatology (including Arthritis)



Expert: Dr. Timothy K. Durnin

Subject: RA test result

Question
my RA report shows a negative result but my doctor is giving me Calcium related medicine as i have pain in my all joints what would i do either to continue my medicine or something else. kindly help me out i am confuse about the results and what eould i do with my pain i am just 25 years

Answer
Calcium does absolutely nothing for joint disease. What you need to take is glucosamine sulfate with MSM. Google it and read the research on it. It is fantastic for stopping and even reversing OA in 70% of patients. I am unsure what "calcium related" medicine is, if you tell me the exact type, I will be able to help you further. Please read my profile, it gives helpful advice on joint disease. If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask.
