I went to a ortho and was diagnosed with synovitis of the elbow. He gave me an x-ray and saw no arthritis(thankfully because I have grinding in my elbows) and no fluid in the elbows. Anyway, I went to a chiro who was giving me some treatment for my elbows and he seems to think that I might have some internal problems because both of my elbows are hurt. 3 years ago I injured both of my shoulders and had surgery on my right one. About 2 or 3 months after the injuries to my elbows I gave blood. I recieved a blood donor card and wasn't informed of any irregularities. If I have something I hope they wouuldn't donate it to someone.
Do you guys think that it is possible that I have something like systematic lupus or something internal that is contributing to my elbow pain. Wouldn't the filtering process from donating blood tell me if I have anything?
P.S. I did't donate blood to check my health. I did it to do something good.
I looked at just a little bit of info regarding synovitis-looks like it is a post infection reaction, but i am not familiar with it. it can be gonnorheal, tuberculous, rhematoid and more. If it is related to any type of infection I think I have some info for you.
I use a therapy called Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation(UBI) that has been used for 75 years for treatment of all viruses and all but 1 bacterial infection (bacterial endocartis-infection of the heart muscle). The MD that I go to uses it and has had alot of success with rhumatoid arthritis(caused by a virus) -I know your doc said you have no rhumatism present but they may be related somewhat. Anyway the therapy is very simple, has no sides at all, and is making quite a comeback in medicine as we now have "superbugs" that are antibiotic resistant, and in essence the antibiotic window is "closing". Of course treatment of viruses is a totally different animal since they can mutate into different strains, rendering antiviral treatment virtually worthless.
Do a search on google for Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation, it is quite interesting. It is very simple-the nurse withdraws 180ml of whole blood and runs the blood in a quartz glass cuvette through a photoluminescent device ,exposing the blood to UVC rays(some clinics use UVA). The blood is then returned to the patient. The UV exposure charges the immune system to attack any and all pathogens through some complex immune changes (the creation of many null cells, immune cells with no antigen present)
If there is any infection present it will certainly be reduced/nullified quickly. Most MD's also run an IV drip of h202 after the treatment, which causes some enzme responses to "unlock oxygen " in the blood, yet another potent oxidizer of germs. This is what our immune system uses as it's first line of defense in riding the body of pathogens.(Our granuloctes generate peroxide and inject it into the virus/bacteria,in effect "pulling the pin" and destroying both.)
If you let me know the general area where you live I can probably locate an MD that uses these therapies and maybe you can make a call and see if you would be of benefit for this therapy. I have an updated list being sent to me this week. I have used it many times( I have used it for flu/colds/allergies) and use it as a preventative as it keeps blood oxygen levels elevated to optimal degrees, which is a huge fundamental in health. No pathogen,-viral,bacterial,cancerous, or fungal -can survive in an optimally oxygenated body . Cost is about $150.00, absolutely no sides.
