Arthritis: Fusion or Replacement: Which Should You Choose?
>Joint replacements have become commonplace for people with severe arthritis of the hip, knee or shoulder. What you many not know, though, is that joint replacement is also an option when arthritis affects the ankle. Recent research suggests that ankle replacement is at least as effective as ankle fusion -- the traditional surgical treatment for ankle arthritis -- but both procedures have advantages and disadvantages that must be considered when making a decision.

>Joint replacements have become commonplace for people with severe arthritis of the hip, knee or shoulder. What you many not know, though, is that joint replacement is also an option when arthritis affects the ankle. Recent research suggests that ankle replacement is at least as effective as ankle fusion -- the traditional surgical treatment for ankle arthritis -- but both procedures have advantages and disadvantages that must be considered when making a decision.
> * Ankle Fusion. People with severe ankle arthritis have traditionally opted for joint fusion surgery (arthrodesis). During this procedure, surgeons completely remove the ankle. The fibula (calf bone), tibia (shin bone) and talus (foot bone) are then fused together with metal screws.
>Ankle fusion is very effective at stopping the pain of arthritis and stabilizing the bones so that they do not rub against one another. However, the ankle remains permanently stiff, restricting range of motion. Over time, arthritis may also develop in areas of the foot as other joints compensate for the ankle's loss of motion. And because the ankle joint has been completely removed, it may be difficult to bend down, climb stairs or walk on uneven surfaces.
>Ankle fusion has the advantage of durability: It is permanent and will withstand the rigors of strenuous physical activity. As such, the procedure may be a good choice for people engaged in activities or occupations that are very physical.
> * Ankle Arthroplasty. Total ankle replacement or ankle arthroplasty was developed in the 1970s as an alternative to joint fusion. Ankle arthroplasty, which entails removing the arthritic joint and replacing it with an artificial one, fell out of favor because the artificial joints then in use malfunctioned frequently and wore out quickly. Often, they also failed to alleviate pain and restore ankle function.
>Today, artificial ankle joints are more sophisticated and effective than past devices. The newest joints make use of a special porous coating that allows bone to grow into it to secure the joint. Current ankle devices also have more maneuverable components for better joint function, and the materials are much more durable than before.
>In the past few years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved three new ankle replacement devices, and research on these new artificial joints suggests that the outcomes of ankle replacement and joint fusion are similar. Both alternatives provide satisfactory outcomes for about 70 percent of those who undergo the procedures. The most appropriate procedure for each person is likely to vary based on individual patient factors and expectations.

Arthritis Cure:
My friend had pain. She went to the dr. who took X-rays and told her she had arthritis. He offered her pain pills, and he said there is no cure.
She did some research and found this cure. She said it took her ABOUT two months to cure it, though it could have been a bit longer. The pain was gone in about a month or so, but she kept on for another month or so after that. She didn’t remember the time frame exactly.
She went back to the doctor after a year, who took X-rays again, and no arthritis was visible. He said, “Those aren’t your X-rays! There is NO cure for arthritis.”
Arthritis Cure
Once a day: ON AN EMPTY STOMACH
1 Tablespoon of Cod liver oil Make sure it is distilled, Cod Liver Oil that is not distilled has too many pollutants which only makes your liver work harder. Do NOT take capsules. (the lemon favored tastes way better than the plain!). Then, lie on your right side for 10 minutes. Do NOT take capsules.
Twice a day with or without a meal:
3000 MG. Vitamin C
3000 Mg. Rose Hips
2000 Mg. L-lysine
1 Heaping tablespoon MSM (about 10 cc) (It seems to dissolve best in warm water)
Continue for a minimum of 4 weeks after the pain is gone. If you have no pain, cut them in half after 4 weeks. There is usually no need to take any of either of these after about 8 weeks, though some people may need to continue longer, depending how long they’ve had the pain.
If you are using artificial sweeteners you might as well learn to live with your arthritis pain. Not only are they bad for arthritis, but they also cause a myriad of other problems. Please stop. As bad as sugar is, it is way better for you than Nutra sweet or Aspartame or Splenda or any of the other man-made chemicals.
Wearing Magnets or sleeping on a sheet of magnets
Any kind of magnets will work, you can use cheap magnetic like car signs. Cut them so they fit your area of pain such as your hands, knees, feet, etc.—no need to pay the high prices some demand on the internet for magnet therapy. Put them over the area where you have arthritis, as magnets increase the blood flow, by magnetizing the iron in the blood which helps to carry oxygen, which is a natural healing aid.
Honey and Cinnamon
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning, and night, One cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, They found that within a week, out of the 200 people So treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.
