Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Just wanted to give a little info here. Something that might be worth looking into for those of us that have joint pain etc. While at Dr. Brodskys office yesterday with Daryl and Patty. When looking at Daryls blood it was full of uric acid cystals. I am pasting a piece of an artical I found on it. It sounds like s heel problem donesn't it? I sent a private email to to make sure she reads it. I too had uric acid cystals in my blood, but didn't think much about it because I didn't have that many. But now I am wondering if the implants somehow could be the culpit. After seeing so many in Daryl's blood and she doesn't eat any meat it makes me wonder a bit. Love Cricket 1) Uric Acid Crystals can take a long time (months or years) to accumulate, most commonly in connective tissues in and around joints, especially in the lower limbs. During this period there may well be no symptoms whatsoever. About 95% of people with hyperuricaemia will not have a gout attack throughout their lives. However, they may experience pain and discomfort from crystallized uric acid in their joints. Pain in the heel, " Achilles Tendon " , is very common. Sometimes uric acid problems are even misdiagnosed as Rheumatoid Arthritis. The uric acid crystals will cut into the synovial fluid sacks that cushion all joints releasing the synovial fluid into the blood. This can cause blood readings to indicate Rheumatoid Arthritis when in fact the problem is really uric acid crystals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
