What can I take for arthritis post-gastric bypass?
I had gastric bypass 3 years ago and was recently diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in both shoulders. I can not take NSAIDS for the obviously wear on the stomach lining and Ultracet doesn't always manage the pain. I'm concerned that I will soon find out that I have arthritis in other joints as well (haven't had the X-rays done) and really would like to continue to function as I do now! Any suggestions??

I've been working out for about 3 weeks now, going every other day and sometimes more than once a day. I've never really done this much weight lifting before and now I'm noticing stretch marks along my chest and shoulders. They're not terrible but definitely noticeable. How can I reduce those and maybe prevent more in the future?
If my joint pain isnt arthritis what is it?
I am 25 and started having knee pain about 5 years ago when I went into the army. Over the next five years other joints have started hurting. Like my elbows, shoulders, and hips. My doctor did a blood test and it said negative for arthritis. Could it still be? Or what else could it be? They hurt even when I am not working out.

I have little marks on my shoulders that look a little like stretch marks. Is it even possible to get stretch marks on your shoulders? I haven't grown in at least 18 months so it's not like I have actually stretched other than putting on a few kilos (pounds) but that wouldn't show up in your shoulders!!!
What else could it be and what should I di about it?
Mysterious scars on my back?

Filed under Scleroderma
About a year ago I went to get in the shower and noticed three (one of them is broken in the middle) long, deep into the skin, horizontal scars in the middle my back. They were bright pink then, but are now purple. Then my mother and doctor said it looked like someone had burned me or wiped me. My doctor was unsure, but unconcerned.
I have been trying to do some research on this on my own today. So before you all say what you think might have caused it, let me explain why that can’t be.
I have NOT had any sudden growth spurts so they are NOT stretch marks, although they have a similar appearance of them. I weigh about 100 pounds steadily, give or take a pound or two, for the past three years, and I have never weighed one pound over 105 so it is not brought on by sudden weight gain or lose. I am not anorexic. I eat every meal. I am 5’8 now, one inch taller then last year and only two inches taller then the year before. (5’8 = 17, 5’7 = 16, 5’6 = 15, 5’4 = 14) No sudden growth spurt...
I have great posture. I walk with my shoulders back and head up high, and when I sit on a chair with no back, my back is straight.
Also, about a year before the scars appeared I had a strange back pain that came on with nothing happening that could have brought it on(such as vigorous activity or weight lifting). The pain was so sever that I could stand no pressure(not even a sheet) on my back. My back was not red, although it looked a little swollen. Anything touching my back would send my crying and trying to get away. The ER just gave me heavy duty pain meds and the only way the pain went away was after my mom got some church group to pray over it… Even though the scars appeared nine month later, could sever back pain somehow cause it?
P.S. I've never had a ghost experience or woke up sweating. I rarely dream and don't have a history of sleep walking, and if I did, the slightest sounds wakes my mother up so she would know. Also Spiritual answers are optional if you haven't a logical one. Also, from my research I looked up morphea scleroderma. Looks nothing like it and is nothing like it so please don't mention that here.

When I was going to gym around two years ago I developed some really noticeable stretch marks on my biceps and the front of my shoulders. I've since stopped training and my stretch marks are now faded.
I'm returning back to the gym again doing weight training. What I can do to prevent any more stretch marks developing on my body?
