I constantly have cracking in my neck, back, and knees. Over the years it has gotten worse. I do not exercise enough, and I have heard that excessive exercise cures arthritis, is this true?

I'm trying to determine alternative pain management ideas that are not to expensive. Pain goes from mild aching to acute stabbing and piercing jolts of pain effecting me from both my feet, ankles, knees, elbows, ribs, upper back and neck and wrists this typically prevents me from performing routine daily activties. I am on meds for pain managment but hope to integrate techniques or treatment to help reduce the pain I deal with?

My aunt is considering using the Cardio machine to help her reduce the pain in her knees or prevent the recurrence of arthritis. I wonder if this machine would really help her out with her problem. If yes, how long should she use it and up to what level?

My mom was advised by her doctor to have knee replacement surgery due to her arthritis. However, since she's diabetic, he also advised that she lose 30-50 pounds prior to surgery. Her diet is fine, but she really needs to incorporate more exercise to help get the weight off. Besides water aerobics, what are some low impact exercises she can do that would put pressure and strain on her knees? Thanks.

So, my 17 year old daughter, who has been playing basketball for 10 years. She is 6'1" and about 200 lbs. She's been having problems with her knees swelling and a lot of pain. Well, I took her up to U of M to see an orthopedic surgeon who requested an MRI for her knees. The next day she called to say that my daughter has arthritis and that nothing could be done about it. Can this be true? She really wants to continue playing basketball when she goes to college, but the pain is getting worse. Does anyone have any suggestions to help out an athlete?

How should I approach a doctor to prescribe me painkillers? I've had chronic pain in my back, hips, knees, and wrists for about 3 years now. In addition I was diagnosed with CMT when I was a child. I've taken just about everything other than narcotics ( pain patches, anti-inflammatory medicine, various high-doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen, etc etc.) But when I asked my doctor about trying a painkiller, he told me I was just looking to get high, and I have no real business taking them. Now, I can understand that a pain management doctor will see his/her fair share of junkies, but I had been seeing him for months prior to this, and it was the first time I mentioned it. Needless to say I will NOT be seeing that doctor again, but I will still need to address my pain. So, when I do see another doctor, how should I go about getting something that actually works?
