All the foods that we love, of course. But especially transfats, white sugar, white flour (but not whole grains) and animal fats/saturated fats from CAFO animals, since they are fed stuff that feeds inflammation. And maybe full-fat dairy. If I go overboard on these, my shoulder acts like a built-in barometer. I'm sure it must differ among individuals, but I can support a moderate amount of these in a short period. It's only when I let it go on too long or too intensively that my body rebels. You might try entirely stopping these foods for say 4-5 days, and see if it makes a difference. Very important to avoid food that has had any kind of processing, unless you're sure it doesn't contain transfats or sugar or white flour. See below for more info. https://www.womentowomen.com/inflammation/reducing-inflammation-the-natural-approach-2/ https://www.womentowomen.com/inflammation/causes-of-inflammation/ |

I will add that many people go around with low grade inflammation for years, maybe all their lives, and so it has become the norm. They don't even know they're inflamed. Then they clean up their diet and they're totally amazed at how great they feel. Not everybody, of course; YMMV. |

It's a NSAID, like Ibuprofen and a lot of other arthritis drugs (meloxicam, ketoprofen). Probably more than you want to know about analgesic nephropathy: http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-topics/kidney-disease/analgesic-nephropathy-painkillers-and-the-kidneys/Pages/facts.aspx Now, having said that, an opinion... Remember when they talked about taking Celebrex (a NSAID which is a cox-2 inhibitor) off the market? As one infernal medicine doc told me, "I have patients where this is the most effective drug available to me. Everything is risk vs. reward. Do I not prescribe the medicine and watch the patient's quality of life go down or do I prescribe and take a chance on the side effects? The decision should between the doctor and the patient." In my opinion, the choice should be that of a well-informed patient. Another opinion: If you have chronic arthritic pain, you need to be under the care of a good internal med guy at the very least. You might need to be under the care of a rheumatologist. Family Practice guys are great - I use them myself. But just as you might not want Dr.K as your surgeon or Bachophile as your gas-passer, there is a time and a reason for specialists. |
