[|Human|] what good does an arhtiris panel do when you already know you have it wouldn t it be better to see what is causing the arthritis ie, mycoplasma test and vitamins that are known to be depleted the test may be useful for the doctor but itdoesn t tell where the inflammation is and most likely when i am in remission i cannot go and get a test so it always looks like i am doing badly in my medical records and no one seems interested in what is causing it
[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of your case. As you mentioned you have arthritis - this means there is a degenerative change in the human body which leads to arthritis. Since you haven't mentioned whether it is osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis I will explain the both in detail which are the most common ones. Osteoarthritis - the terminology itself indicates that the bone is involved Chat Doctor. Now coming to explain to you what causes arthritis - Arthritis is the degenerative changes happening in the human body. This degenerative changes are called the wear and tear of the cells. Example is - when you buy a new shoe and use it for 2-3 years and later your shoe will have the wear and tear. You cannot expect the shoe to be the same after 2-3 years of constant use. As I said, degenerative change is a natural phenomenon which cannot be revered and also there is no particular test we need to confirm the arthritis. Also, to help you better during arthritis there are medical treatment directed towards the symptoms and its relief. As medicine acts as a supportive system for the symptoms to lower, as this will allow the body to heal of its own. Also, to mention that the body is the medicine of its own and this is also a normal physiological phenomenon. Next coming to what helps in arthritis is - along with medicine there is need to strengthen the muscles around the joint involved so that the normal joint alignment can be achieved. Any changes in the normal anatomy of the joint occurs there is a pain. Now pain is a protective mechanism of the physiological phenomena of the body. Also along with medicine and physical therapy most of the patients recover. If you have more queries I can answer, so you can ask me directly. With the grace of God I Wish you a speedy recovery regards
