A radiological study of muscle composition found that more ultra-processed food in the diet is associated with more intramuscular fat in the thigh, regardless of total calories consumed. This sort of fatty degeneration of thigh muscle has been associated with increased osteoarthritis of the knee.

27 hours without sleep, thanks to the steroid knee injection. My personal record for someone who needs 10 hours a night. The doctor forgot to mention insomnia is common and can last 1-3 days! I feel like I've drunk gallons of expresso.

#Obesity Drug Shows Promise in Easing Knee #Osteoarthritis Pain

As a practicing physician, I've seen up close the remarkable benefits of the #GLP1 class of medications, including #semaglutide (#Ozempic, #Wegovy) and #tirzepatide (#Mounjaro, #Zepbound.)

Reduction in weight (and inflammation) are game changers.

Better control of #Diabetes, reduced #Cardiovascular and #Stroke risk, maybe lower incident of #Dementia, #MultipleSclerosis and other diseases which have an 'inflammatory' component.

All we need now is to lower the cost (about $1,000/month in the US; heard the price is $59 in EU!)

Humanity is a confused species.

We will unleash untold horrors on each other and our world.

And then knit gold plated #EEG s to help our feline friends suffering from #osteoarthritis.

If only we could treat each other and our world with the same care and concern.

Get will kitty!

So after 10 sessions of physical therapy. I can conclude it definitely helps. My hip no longer clunks and it takes a lot more stairs before my knee bothers me. I'm still terrified of squats but I've learned to do them against a wall. Now we wait and see if my insurance grants me any more visits. #Osteoarthritis

The benefits of #Cycling

A new study finds people who are in the habit of riding a #bike are significantly less likely to have #osteoarthritis and experience pain in their knees by age 65, compared to people who don't bike. via Kottke

It seems the cure for all my back, hip, and knee issues is:

Exercise (a lot) more
Eat a Mediterranean diet.
Sleep more
Drink less alcohol

I have to do it or I won't be able to function in a few years so I should be looking pretty in shape by the end of Sumner.

Dancing and crochet are also not contraindicated, so that's good.

And although painful, it's just wear and tear and not something scary underlying thing.

Every cloud and all that.

On the chronic pain front, things are exciting. I'm getting my first ever epidural cervical steroid shot today.

Last stop before just continuing to live with the pain until it worsens enough (stenosis) for surgery.

Fingers crossed - pain's been bad enough to make me vaguely nauseous this week. No fun.

And it would be lovely to turn my head again!

I mean surely being riddled with #osteoarthritis is surely better than being filled with eels…?

@cindyweinstein Moreover, I think most of the unwillingness to accept aging is caused by #AgeWashedMarketing that deludes people so they #beLIEve they are going to be those #ActiveSeniors living their #ActiveLifeStyle running along the beach with their dogs well into their 80s and 90s. The marketing leaves out #Osteoarthritis #Diabetes #RheumatoidArthritis #DiabeticKidneyDisease and others.
