[QUOTE="Shari, post: 345050, member: 1848"] I have OA, as well, and have had the RA testing come back significant, tho with monitoring, the RA factor has decreased...so not sure what's up there. I know that once my joints are irritated, tho, it takes months if not years for them to calm down. I take maintenance ibuprofen, and most generally have joint pain every day...but I've had this since I was 28. I'm not replacing my knees yet! I also learned recently that sugar for a person like me is an inflammatory. For the past year or so, I've tried to follow closer to 130g carbs/day and have seen significant improvement in my joitn pain as a result. My dad had OA as well, and an injection into his knees, Synvisc, helped him tremendously until he had his knees replaced. [/QUOTE]
