Without proper treatment, the disease continues for years - the pain either subsides or appears again. But compared to gonarthrosis, meniscopathy rarely causes deformation of the bones of the knee joint, unless damage to the meniscus triggers the development of knee arthrosis. And this, it should be noted, happens quite often.
More details about meniscopathy can be found in the book “Arthritis”.
Arthrosis of the hip joint (coxarthrosis). As we said in the previous section, the diagnosis of “gonarthrosis” is often mistakenly made with “referred” pain, which often occurs with coxarthrosis and goes from the hip joint to the knee.
But these conditions are very easy to differentiate - with arthrosis of the hip joint, the mobility of the knee does not decrease at all, the knee bends and unbends easily and painlessly. But the ability of a person suffering from coxarthrosis to rotate the leg “from the hip” and spread the legs to the sides sharply decreases.
A person suffering from gonarthrosis, on the contrary, easily rotates the leg from the hip and easily spreads the legs to the sides, but has difficulty bending the knee and squats with pain.
Arthritis . Knee joints are the most vulnerable joints of the human body. In addition to arthrosis and meniscopathy, the knee joints can be affected by any of the arthritis described in my second book - reactive, rheumatoid, psoriatic, gout, ankylosing spondylitis and articular rheumatism.
Arthritis affects people of any age, but most often the onset of the disease occurs in young people.
With arthritis, either one or both knees can become inflamed.
A characteristic feature of arthritic inflammation of the knee joint is a rapid onset (within 1–3 days), with obvious swelling and swelling of the knee, as well as increased pain in the affected joint at night (at about 3–4 am). That is, the pain at night, at rest, may be stronger than when walking. With arthrosis, as you remember, pain decreases at night.
In addition, almost any arthritis leads to inflammation of not one, but several joints at once: in addition to the knees, the joints of the fingers and toes, elbow joints, ankle joints and heel tendons become inflamed and swollen in any combination.
Read more about arthritis in the book “Arthritis.”
Vascular pain in the knees. These pains, which arise due to poor blood circulation in the knee joints, are familiar to many people. They usually begin during adolescence, a period of active growth, since vascular development in fast-growing adolescents often does not keep up with the accelerated growth of bones.
Once occurring, vascular pain in the knees can accompany a person almost all his life. But their intensity usually decreases after 18–20 years (and does not increase with age, as happens with arthrosis). And unlike arthrosis pain, vascular pain in the knees is not accompanied by a decrease in the mobility of the knee joints.
Pain sensations are usually symmetrical, that is, they are equally pronounced in the right and left knees; occur when the weather changes, in the cold, during colds and after physical activity. At such moments, suffering people complain that their knees are “twisting.”
In most cases, vascular pain in the knees is easily eliminated by rubbing warm ointments, massage and self-massage (vigorous rubbing of the knees) or taking vasodilating drugs. No special therapy is required for this condition.
Inflammation of the knee tendons (periarthritis of the bursa anserina). Mostly women are affected, most often over the age of 40.
Pain usually occurs when walking down stairs or when carrying heavy objects or heavy bags. When walking calmly on a level surface, pain is extremely rare.
The pain caused by periarthritis does not extend to the entire knee. It focuses exclusively on the inside of the knees, about 3 to 4 cm below the point where the knees would touch when you bring your legs together.
And unlike arthrosis, with periarthritis there is no restriction of knee mobility; the leg bends and extends at the knee as expected, in full.
More information about periarthritis of the “bursa anserina” can be found in the book “Arthritis”.
Arthrosis of the ankle joint
Arthrosis of the ankle joint is not very common. It usually develops in overweight people or in people with weak ligaments. Weakness of the ligaments often leads to a person twisting his leg when walking.
Usually, following a “twist” of the leg, traumatic swelling of the joint occurs, which, with gentle treatment, goes away in 2–3 weeks. And if the ankle injury was isolated, then the joint is completely restored in 1 to 2 months.
Unfortunately, in some people the ankle ligaments are so weak that repeated subluxations of the joint can occur. After several subluxations, the structure of the cartilage in the joint is disrupted, and this, in turn, can lead to arthrosis.
However, it often happens that one or another arthritis (inflammation of the joints) is mistaken for arthrosis of the ankle joint, because arthritis also “loves” this joint.
Meanwhile, it is quite simple to distinguish arthritis from arthrosis of the ankle joint: arthritic inflammation of the ankle joint usually occurs against the background of inflammation of other joints. With arthritis, the ankle itself often becomes inflamed and swollen, as they say, out of the blue - without prior trauma. In this case, the joint often turns red and becomes hot to the touch.
Pain in the ankle joint due to arthritis is more pronounced at night (at about 3–4 am), and during the day when walking the pain is felt, but less intensely.
More details about arthritis can be found in the book “Arthritis”.
With arthrosis of the ankle joint, on the contrary, pain occurs only when walking. At night they usually subside. Occasionally, such pain in the ankle is combined with a constant feeling of a “twisted leg.”
However, unlike arthritic swelling of the joint, vascular edema usually rises above the ankle joint itself and goes along the entire lower leg, and sometimes extends below it, to the entire foot, often involving the toes. The foot and lower leg may become twice as thick as usual. But the ankle joint itself, as a rule, remains unswollen.
In addition, when palpating (feeling) such a leg, the joint remains painless, but palpation of the lower leg above the joint causes very unpleasant sensations in the patient. Even when you feel the shin, you can notice that there is some “swelling” under the fingers. And after the doctor examining the patient, after applying pressure, removes his fingers, traces remain under them for a few seconds - “dimples”. With arthrosis, such traces do not remain.
I draw your attention to all these points for the reason that sometimes not only ordinary patients, but also some doctors do not see the difference between two such different CONDITIONS.
Although in fairness we must admit that in our medical practice there are cases when it is really difficult to determine the main cause of pain and swelling in the ankle area. For example, when vascular edema of the leg is combined with edema of the joint itself, it may be unclear whether the two diseases are related. And here diagnostic procedures come to the aid of doctors.
The book is intended for a wide audience.
Second edition, revised.
A very good book. Now I know a lot about my illnesses. I think that more than many surgeons with whom I had to be treated. In any case, no one told what kind of diseases they were - arthritis and arthrosis. First, they would prescribe some pills and creams, and when nothing helps, the next time I always heard the same thing: “What do you want from me? I can’t help you with anything!” Now I will treat myself! Thank you for the information, for your help, Pavel Valerievich! It’s rare now that professionals give such detailed information for free - instructions for action! May God grant you health and the desire to continue helping people in the same way! Be happy!

Everything is described in an accessible way in the book, only one BUT, how many people do you think live in Russia in Russia receiving a lousy minimum wage and you can’t afford it, there’s no money for any chondoprotectors or a good doctor. There isn’t even enough to eat. The beggarly stratum of the population is the largest in our country. Our entire clinic was destroyed, only an ambulance is available, and the population of 3.6 thousand is not a village, if it’s really bad you go to the regional city, and there we are also unnecessary, so any illness for the poor is a death sentence.

Good and clear information in the book! My mother has grade 3 gonarthrosis of both knee joints, she hasn’t left the house for 2 years, we were tormented by questions: how can we continue to live? nothing will help at all? We contacted the Chaklin UNIT and were told that an operation was needed. Now all that remains is to collect the documents. Your book removed all fears and gave hope (which the doctors at the local clinic did not do).

it is clearly and accessiblely written, but is it possible to do the gymnastics described by the doctor for stage 2 coxarthrosis, the doctors started the initial stage, it is written correctly in the article ==== negligence and laziness of doctors, and the article is understandable, the question is whether it is possible for disabled pensioners to pay not 5000 for the 1st appointment less, thank you, if it is possible to reduce the amount, I would come to the reception, and then as God sends, I would be grateful for the answer

Thank you, exhaustively, I learned how to remove the meniscus pinched from the loads from the impact, I manually pull back the shin. I'll do cryo with ice. I get hyaluronic acid regularly, I boil pork legs for an hour in salt water, or chicken legs for half an hour. And I eat the tendons with orange or ascorbine C. There are doubts that the hyaluronic acid will get into the joint if you don’t inject it, but it does for me. I immediately feel the relief of dryness and pain. I tried clay, mud, bath salts, they dried out the joint and after them I always had to boil the legs again, everything went away. Dryness is painful, poor cushioning, friction. To be sure, after removing the paws, you can do a self-massage with a washcloth and soap, then you will feel the elasticity of the skin. I gave up structuvite, it didn’t help my feelings, I don’t take chondoprotectors now, I haven’t tried collagen, I had thoughts of buying hyaluronic acid in tablets for 1000 rubles, but today is a day off, I have a lot of free time, I took advantage of typing in the search - hyaluronic acid pork feet - and two pages came out on which it was written that it was in those very legs. If you need to remove liquid, you can use a clay mask; the second time there won’t be any left. I bought Saki sulfide silt mud, I haven’t tried peat mud and sapropel mud either, but that’s what you need to try, they don’t draw out, on the contrary, they contain microelements. Thanks for all the advice.

Polymyalgia rheumatica. A rather rare disease, which nevertheless cannot be discounted.
Women over 50 years of age are more likely to get sick. In 90% of cases, the disease begins after suffering severe stress or a severe cold (flu).
The disease develops quite quickly, within 3 to 20 days. As a rule, the first symptoms of the disease are pronounced symmetrical (that is, the same on the right and left) stiffness and pain in the hips (the pain does not go below the knees) and in the shoulder joints.
Painful sensations are accompanied by rapidly increasing incredible weakness of the patient. Such patients are brought to the doctor literally “under arms”, but not because of pain, but precisely because of weakness. It is this extreme weakness that is the “calling card” that makes it easy to distinguish polymyalgia from most other diseases, and in particular from coxarthrosis.
Often weakness and pain with polymyalgia rheumatica are accompanied by decreased appetite, weight loss, and increased body temperature. Occasionally, the listed symptoms are accompanied by daily severe headaches, most often affecting only one half of the head - the right or left. Such pain usually “shoots” in the temple, parietal region and eye area
More details about polymyalgia rheumatica can be found in the book “Arthritis”.
Arthrosis of the knee joint (gonarthrosis)
Women suffer from gonarthrosis somewhat more often than men. The disease usually develops after forty years, although sometimes there are cases of “young” gonarthrosis - after injuries or in professional athletes.
Arthrosis of the knee joints is most severe in obese women, as well as in those who have severe varicose veins in the legs.
The disease begins gradually, with minor pain in the knee when walking. The most difficult thing for patients is going up and down stairs. Sometimes pain occurs when a person has to stand for a long time or when he has to get up from a sitting position or from a bed. Often, it is the very first few steps after standing up that are especially painful. At rest, sitting and lying down, the pain usually goes away.
Attention! The initial pain sensations with gonarthrosis do not arise “in a second,” that is, they do not appear immediately, in one day. A period of intense pain with arthrosis is almost certainly preceded by a period of many months or even many years of mild pain that occurs exclusively during long walking; exertion, walking up stairs or getting up from a chair.
If the pain arose suddenly, in one day or, even more so, in one second, and before there was no pain in the knee, then this usually indicates some other disease or damage. For example, a pinched meniscus, a pinched synovial membrane of a joint, or a piece of cartilage (chondromic body) getting between the cartilages of the knee.
However, with gonarthrosis, such troubles can also occur, and then they will complicate the course of arthrosis and add sharp pain. And then arthrosis will have to be treated taking into account the above complications. But initially, the diagnosis of “arthrosis of the knee joint” is confirmed precisely by the gradual development of pain symptoms.
Despite the intense pain at times, at first, at the first stage of arthrosis, the bones of the knee retain their original shape and are almost not deformed. But the joint itself may look a little swollen.
At first, such a change in the shape of the joint may be associated with synovitis - the accumulation of pathological fluid in the knee.
If too much fluid “accumulates” in the joint, it even spreads to the back surface of the knee, to the area of the popliteal fossa. This accumulation of fluid is called a Baker's cyst.
The term “Baker's cyst” often frightens patients, since the name makes many people think that we are talking about an oncological process. However, this is just a term meaning the spread of swelling under the knee, and in some cases even lower - to the back of the lower leg. This condition has nothing to do with oncology. A Baker's cyst usually shrinks easily with anti-inflammatory medications or hormonal medications injected into the knee.
At the second stage of gonarthrosis, several months after the onset of the disease, the pain in the knee clearly intensifies. Painful sensations appear already from minimal exertion or immediately after it. That is, pain is now caused by almost any movement in the affected knee. But the knee hurts especially badly after prolonged exercise, long walking, or carrying even small weights.
After a sufficiently long rest, the pain usually goes away completely, but with the next movement it immediately reappears.
Around this time, a crunching sensation in the knee joint when moving is added to the pain. It differs significantly in volume from the barely audible clicks that occasionally accompany individual movements of healthy joints. As the disease progresses, such a crunch, weakly expressed at first, becomes more audible and distinct.
In parallel with the intensification of pain and the appearance of a crunch in the second stage of gonarthrosis, the ability to bend the leg normally at the knee decreases. When you try to bend the knee “all the way”, sharp pain occurs in the joint, and more often than not, full bending of the knee simply becomes impossible. Sometimes the knee bends only to an angle of 90°, and then goes further with difficulty and pain.
At the same stage of the disease, it becomes noticeable that the joint is deformed - first of all, this concerns bone deformations, changes in the shape of the bones of the joint (when you feel the knee, you can notice that its bones have changed their shape, they have become wider and “rougher”).
In addition, changes in the shape of the joint are aggravated by the accumulation of pathological fluid in the joint (synovitis). Synovitis at this stage of gonarthrosis occurs much more often and is sometimes expressed much more strongly than at the beginning of the disease, in its first stage.
At the third stage of gonarthrosis, the pain in the knee intensifies even more. Now the knee hurts not only when moving and walking.
Pain begins to bother a person even at rest. It is difficult for the patient to find a comfortable position in bed, to arrange the affected knee so that it does not hurt. And yet, having found the right position, a person can usually fall asleep. Although, if the destruction of the joint is combined with impaired blood circulation, then the joints begin to “twist” even in the middle of the night, usually when the weather changes, or, as the patients themselves say, “towards the rain.”
At this time, the mobility of the knee joint is reduced to a minimum. It is no longer possible to bend the knee more than 90°. And sometimes the knee hardly bends at all. In addition, the opportunity to fully extend, that is, straighten the leg, often disappears. In this case, the sick person always walks on slightly bent legs.
Compared to the second stage, during the third stage of gonarthrosis, the bones of the joint are deformed even more, and in some cases, “varus” or “valgus” deformity of the legs develops - the legs take on an O- or X-shape. As a result, in people with similar leg deformities, the gait often becomes unstable - a so-called “waddling gait” occurs.
What is arthrosis of the knee joint often confused with?
When diagnosing gonarthrosis, errors occur as often, if not more often, than when diagnosing diseases of the hip joints. Below is a list of diseases that are most often mistaken for arthrosis of the knee joint.
Damage to the menisci (meniscopathy) and blockade of the knee joint. Meniscal injuries and knee blockages occur in people of all ages, young and old. Men and women get sick equally often. Usually one knee joint is damaged.
Unlike gonarthrosis, the disease develops quickly. As a rule, after an unsuccessful movement when walking, running or jumping, a person hears a crunch in the knee and feels acute pain in the joint. After 10–15 minutes, the acute pain subsides slightly and the person can move. But the next day or the day after, the knee swells, and the pain intensifies again.
Although the problem of arthrosis is common, patients and some doctors do not know basic things about this joint disease. Doctor Evdokimenko explained the treatment of arthrosis on the shelves, writing the book “Getting Rid of Joint Pain,” dedicated to this issue. Thanks to it, the reader will learn what arthrosis is, what are the causes of this disease and possible complications. Evdokimenko talks in the book about the nuances of therapy that helps get rid of joint pain due to arthrosis. We will briefly discuss some treatment procedures in our article.
Dr. Evdokimenko recommends performing therapeutic massage for arthrosis as an additional therapy. This manipulation has a multifaceted effect on the body. Thanks to massage, blood circulation improves, blood vessels dilate, which helps speed up metabolic processes. Such procedures accelerate the flow of lymph through the vessels, helping to eliminate inflammation.
Under the influence of massage, fluid circulation in the joint improves, delivery of nutrients to the cartilage accelerates, the elasticity of the ligaments and joint capsule increases, and the functions of the synovial membrane are restored. After proper massage, changes occur in the muscles:
At the same time, the massage restores blood pressure, increases the depth of breathing, calms the nervous system, and helps damaged cartilage tissue recover faster.
Evdokimenko Pavel Valerievich recommends acupuncture for arthrosis as one of the oldest forms of treatment. Healers have long discovered that influencing certain points and areas of the body changes the condition of internal organs and the body. At first, healers used pointed sticks and sharp stones for similar effects, and later switched to needles.
Centuries later, the points were systematized and lines were identified that determine the relationship between the internal organs and these points. Although modern medicine is reserved about the achievements of Eastern healers, acupuncture is often added to the arsenal of auxiliary treatment methods because the effectiveness of this procedure is obvious.
Dr. Evdokimenko, in a book called “Getting Rid of Joint Pain,” describes the benefits of hirudotherapy for arthrosis. Medicinal leeches have been used for treatment since the time of the Egyptian pharaohs. Over the past centuries, the passion for this trend has experienced stages of decline and rise many times. In Russia, this method was extremely common more than a hundred years ago. Then leeches were used to treat cardiovascular pathologies and local inflammatory processes:
For arthrosis, enzymes injected with a leech are similar in action to substances that are injected into the joint. In this case, leeches normalize blood circulation inside the affected joint. Such a complex effect gives a chance to get good results in the treatment of the initial stages of arthrosis.
Using leeches for advanced arthrosis, you get rid of night pain, which is especially important in the preoperative period. Also, after surgery, leeches help speed up the regeneration of periarticular structures and damaged muscles.
According to Evdokimenko’s recommendation, arthrosis is treated using laser therapy. This is a relatively new treatment option that has become widespread. Almost every clinic is equipped with laser machines. Many even prefer to purchase them for home use.
Nowadays, for the treatment of arthrosis, various cryogenic installations have begun to be used, thanks to which the joints are exposed to ultra-low temperatures. Two directions of cryotherapy have been developed:
Dr. Evdokimenko believes that liquid cryotherapy is much more effective for joint arthrosis. Thanks to the effect of liquid nitrogen on the back or the affected joint, a pronounced response from the body is obtained:
To apply heat to the body, substances are used that retain heat, releasing it as slowly as possible. Suitable for this:
In addition to the temperature effect, such coolants have a chemical effect on the body: during the procedure, inorganic salts and active components penetrate the skin, improving blood circulation and metabolism. Heat treatment is recommended for use in the initial stages of arthrosis, when the disease proceeds calmly, there are no exacerbations and blood counts remain normal.
Although with arthrosis the patient is prescribed restrictions on physical activity, it is recommended to continue an active life, increasing motor activity that does not negatively affect cartilage tissue. You need to force yourself to do special exercises every day, recommended by Dr. Evdokimenko. They allow you to form a muscle corset around the joint, maintain the natural mobility of the joint and ensure the necessary blood supply to the affected area.
Constant training should not become an unpleasant chore, but a useful habit - this is the best way to preserve the natural function of the joints for a long time. In addition to therapeutic exercises, the patient will benefit from skiing with a “classic stroke”, since thanks to sliding the load from body weight is reduced and the affected joints are practically not subject to pressure. Also, such a leisurely movement brings an additional emotional charge. At first, it is enough to organize half-hour walks, then, by monitoring the condition of the joints, they are increased to two hours.
The situation is much more complicated when cycling. Driving too fast and for a long time is definitely harmful for arthrosis of the limbs. But riding a bike slowly won't cause any harm. You should just avoid traveling on uneven surfaces, since bouncing movements are harmful to your joints, and also avoid falls. It is also important to choose the right bike for you. Preference is given to a semi-sports or sports bicycle, since such vehicles are lighter in themselves and easier to ride than road bicycles.
Since the steering wheel handles of sports vehicles are directed downwards, it is recommended to raise them up before driving. Problems arise in patients due to incorrect adjustment of the saddle height. It is installed so as to ensure full straightening of the leg when the pedal is lowered down. If the knee remains bent in this position, muscle and joint pain will occur. The distance to the steering wheel is also important - you need to achieve a position so that your elbows are slightly bent.
In addition to cycling and skiing, a person with arthrosis will benefit from swimming. However, there are also limitations to this activity. You need to swim calmly, without jerking or vigorous movements that can injure the joint. Choose a swimming style that does not cause discomfort in the joint, even minor pain.
If a patient wants to help damaged joints, using the body’s reserve capabilities for this purpose, it is better to do special gymnastics. It will bring more benefits than other treatments. Dr. Evdokimenko is convinced that without gymnastics a person cannot expect that his health will significantly improve and sore joints will recover.
Dr. Evdokimenko’s gymnastics is an important therapeutic method of combating arthrosis. No one can achieve a noticeable improvement in arthrosis of the ankle, hip and knee joints without performing therapeutic exercises. This is due to the fact that in no other way can one strengthen muscles, activate blood flow and “pump” blood vessels in the same way as is possible when performing special exercises.
At the same time, gymnastics is the only treatment option that does not require any financial costs. You will need a couple of square meters of space in the room and a rug or blanket placed on the floor. Nothing more is needed other than consultation with a qualified specialist and the patient’s desire to perform rehabilitation exercises.
Joint diseases are often provoked by difficult experiences, negative emotions, and stress. Many patients are bothered by their joints after divorce, dismissal from work, loss of loved ones, or other blows of fate. However, the most unpleasant forms of damage to the joints occur in those people who are pleasant in everyday communication, almost never conflict, and rarely express their own dissatisfaction.
It is only outwardly that such people look friendly, calm and reserved. However, inside each of them, “Shakespearean” passions often rage, which do not come out due to their upbringing or “Nordic” character. Restrained emotions, suppressed anger, anxiety, frustration and irritation provoke a constant release of corticosteroid hormones into the blood. These substances act on articular hyaluronic acid, an essential component of joint lubrication.
Thanks to the advice of Dr. Evdokimenko, it is possible to get rid of joint pain due to arthrosis. The doctor's recommendations are simple and accessible to everyone. Therefore, the book “Getting Rid of Joint Pain” is important for everyone who has encountered this disease.
Moscow. Talk show “Let them talk.” In this studio we discuss true stories that cannot be kept silent about.
Today in our studio we have the Hermit Agafya Lykova , everyone knows her firsthand! She began to flash across all central channels due to her unusual fate. Agafya Lykova is the only living representative of a family of Old Believers hermits. This family managed to maintain longevity and perfect health for many centuries, living in the taiga, far from civilization, medicines, and doctors. Using the power of nature and its gifts, they had truly heroic health and incredibly stable immunity. After the whole of Russia learned about Agafya, our program began to receive thousands of letters from viewers asking: “Ask Agafya Lykova to tell her some secret recipe of her family.” All the letters were in the same vein - everyone wanted to receive at least a small recipe that would help improve or maintain health. Well, if TV viewers ask, then you need to find out her recipes and secrets of longevity. After all, thousands of Russians cannot be wrong - if they ask, it means it will help!
— Hello Andrey and dear audience. Probably, I would hardly have agreed to give out the recipe of my ancestors if I had not known how many people in Russia, and throughout the world, suffer from osteochondrosis and terrible joint pain. Perhaps my ancient recipe will help get rid of such diseases once and for all.
— Our editors and cameramen came to you in the taiga. It was -29 outside, it was terribly cold, but you didn’t care! You were standing in light clothes, with a scarf on your head and on one shoulder holding a rocker with two 10-liter buckets filled with water. And you, after all, are already 64 years old. We were amazed: standing in front of us was an elderly woman who simply glowed with longevity and health.
Walking into the house, we saw that you were preparing some kind of mixture similar to cream. Can you tell us more details?
“My father and my mother knew family recipes, which they received from their parents, and they received from theirs. Many of my recipes are hundreds of years old; my entire generation has been treated with them. All these recipes are recorded in this book.
- Agafya, tell me, what was the last thing you managed to win? You are the same person as all Russians. In any case, could anything be bothering you?
— Yes, of course, I suffered from many diseases, but I got rid of them very quickly, since I have my “family recipe book . The last thing I was suffering from was pain in my joints and back. The pain was terrible, and the dampness in the room only aggravated my illness. My legs and arms couldn’t bend and ached a lot. But I got rid of this disease in 4 days. I have my great-grandmother’s recipe for this disease. So be it, I’ll tell it to you, let the people get rid of their ailments.
After these words, Agafya opened her old book with recipes and began to dictate the composition to us. Below we will talk about how to cure arthrosis in 4 days! In the meantime, let's talk about the remaining dialogue with Agafya:
- What is this product and how to use it correctly?
- This cream is based on Altai deer antlers - a valuable substance that is extracted only once a year from deer antlers. They are mined in only one place, in northwestern Siberia. In the spring, the Altai deer sheds its antlers, and local residents go to the taiga in search of them. Based on maral antlers, I prepare a cream for joint pain, bruises and sprains. Thanks to the healing properties of the substance, local residents in the 19th century destroyed almost the entire population of Altai deer. Therefore, industrial production of antlers is impossible.
-Thank you, Agafya. Many Russians will now get rid of joint pain forever.
This interview was done on June 10, 2016, and we thought for a long time about how to share the recipe, because you can’t just buy and cook the composition of the cream. The cream contains unique components that are very difficult to find. Therefore, we handed over the recipe to the cream manufacturer so that this product would be available to everyone. The manufacturer's product is fully certified and proven to be effective by the Federal State Institution Research Institute of Orthopedics. Our editors and our channel fully vouch for the effectiveness of Artropant and the fact that the composition fully complies with Agafya Lykova’s recipe.

Thank you very much for the recipe and the opportunity to buy Artropant! I’ve been using it for 3 days now and my joints have really stopped bothering me!
It’s so good that ancient recipes have been preserved! I've had enough of these pills! My mother uses the cream. She is 68, and she has more than enough health. Although just recently she complained of severe pain in the lower back and elbows! And now she’s simply unrecognizable! Thanks to your channel for the report!
How long does Artropant last? Pay immediately?
It’s easy to pay, there are instructions and options. It took me 4 days to get the cream to Tyumen! The wait was worth it, as I've been using it for 5 days now. My bones hurt a lot, now they don’t bother me at all! Thanks to the TV channel!
Is it suitable for general health of the body?
I treat muscle pain with it. Improvement began already on day 2. I highly recommend this cream to everyone!
This is what traditional medicine can do! Damn the drugs! Fortunately, the cream costs a penny relative to the treatment itself!

When we have joint diseases, we are always looking for special tablets, ointments and various folk remedies to get rid of this disease quickly and forever. Is this possible? Many doctors say no. If we are talking about any one tool or method, then this is really so. But the practice of other doctors proves that with a set of measures, treatment is successful and, in fact, it is possible to get rid of the disease forever. So, Pavel Evdokimenko: arthrosis, getting rid of joint pain.
The appearance of pain in our case is considered the first symptom.
If this happens in the area of the hands, then it may be arthrosis of the wrist joint. Its causes, says Evdokimenko, must be sought in major and even minor injuries, bone fractures or dislocations in the arm area. Arthrosis of the wrist joint also manifests itself as a crunching sensation in the wrist when moving, as well as the appearance of pain with certain movements of the hands.
At the very beginning of the disease, doubts regarding the diagnosis may arise. If, along with inflammation of the joints of the wrist, there is pain in the area of the interphalangeal joints, the patient most likely has arthritis. According to Dr. Evdokimenko, arthrosis of the wrist joint is an isolated pathology that affects only one area damaged as a result of injury.
Separately, disease may occur in the small joints of the hands. The formation of “nodules” on the interphalangeal joints of the hands is often observed. With further development of the disease, the muscles of the affected fingers or completely the hands atrophy. But even with complete deformation of the hands, such a disease does not affect the condition of the body as a whole.
It is believed that diseases of the legs are observed more often than similar problems in the arms.
The reasons for this are additional loads, so a disease such as arthrosis of the first metatarsophalangeal joint does not come as a big surprise, since the main load when walking falls on the area of the heel bone and 1 metatarsophalangeal joint. With longitudinal flatfoot, arthrosis of the metatarsophalangeal joint is considered inevitable, and with physical activity the pain is already constant.
Disease of the metatarsophalangeal joint may be accompanied by damage to the interphalangeal joints. At the 3rd stage of metatarsophalangeal arthrosis, the main joint is deformed, and because of this, deformation occurs in the interphalangeal joints, as a result of which, with the development of arthrosis of the metatarsophalangeal joint, the constant presence of pain is recorded.
Arthrosis of the hip joint is difficult, as it is accompanied by attacks of severe pain and leads to loss of motor ability. If the femoral joint is not treated in a timely manner, it may disintegrate into separate fragments. Many doctors claim that it is impossible to completely restore the mobility of the hip joint.
Dr. Evdokimenko is convinced that treatment of the femoral joint at the initial stage can be successful with the comprehensive use of all drugs and methods. Reduction of pain and other symptoms of femoral arthrosis is achieved even in the second degree. Untimely treatment, as well as stress and poor nutrition, are the main causes of femoral joint infarction.
The source of back pain can be a disease such as arthrosis of the facet joints of the spine. It develops due to the heavy load on all intervertebral joints and makes itself felt most often in the cervical region, less often in the lumbar and thoracic. Since such connections are present along the entire column, arthrosis of the facet joints can occur in the lumbar region or affect the joints of the thoracic region. When the cervical spine is affected, the neck is fixed in an unnatural position, and when the lumbar spine is affected, mobility in the lower part of the spine is limited.
Arthrosis of the costovertebral joints may occur in the thoracic region. It is characterized by the involvement of the transverse joints between the rib head and the transverse process of the vertebra. When arthrosis of the costovertebral joints progresses, severe pain occurs during breathing and over time the person loses his ability to work.
It should be taken into account that NPPs, by relieving symptoms, can create the misleading impression that we are getting rid of the disease, but in fact it is progressing.
To restore cartilage tissue and protect it from possible damage, chondroprotective agents are prescribed.
In addition, mumiyo is recognized as one of the mild but effective remedies, which even when used externally has analgesic and regenerating properties. When absorbed into the blood, mumiyo replenishes the body with microelements and vitamins. It has been established that mumiyo contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, barium, and molybdenum that the body needs. Shilajit is recommended for both external and internal use.
At the pharmacy you can buy a tablet form of mumiyo and, for oral administration, dissolve 1 tablet in 1 glass of warm boiled water and drink 1/3 glass 15 minutes before meals.
A bath with mumiyo is also useful for arthrosis. The procedure can be carried out daily or in courses, depending on the characteristics of the disease.
Timely medical assistance gives excellent results to the highest degree. This is confirmed by the examples described in P. Evdokimenko’s book. If we consistently follow all medical recommendations, then over time we will feel that we are truly getting rid of the disease.
Pain in the ankle joint due to arthritis is more pronounced at night (at about 3-4 am), and during the day when walking the pain is felt, but less intensely.
More details about arthritis can be found in the book “Arthritis”.
Joint swelling, which occurs immediately after subluxation, with arthrosis is usually not accompanied by redness and a local increase in temperature; the joint is almost never hot to the touch.
By the way, another common diagnostic error is often associated with ankle swelling. Some disturbances in the activity of the blood vessels of the legs, which occur in a number of diseases of the internal organs (diabetes mellitus, heart failure, kidney damage, etc.), also lead to severe swelling of the lower leg, and they are often mistaken for ankle arthrosis and appropriate anti-arthrosis treatment is unsuccessfully carried out.
However, in contrast to arthritic swelling of the joint, vascular edema usually rises above the ankle joint itself and goes along the entire lower leg, and sometimes spreads below it, to the entire foot, often involving the toes. The foot and lower leg can become twice as thick, than usual. But the ankle joint itself, as a rule, remains unswollen.
In addition, when palpating (feeling) such a leg, the joint remains painless, but palpation of the lower leg above the joint causes very unpleasant sensations in the patient. Even when you feel the shin, you can notice that there is some “swelling” under the fingers. And after the doctor examining the patient, after applying pressure, removes his fingers, traces remain under them for a few seconds - “dimples.” With arthrosis, such traces do not remain.
I draw your attention to all these points for the reason that sometimes not only ordinary patients, but also some doctors do not see the difference between two such different conditions.
One day, a patient came to see me after being diagnosed with “arthrosis of the ankle joint” at the city diagnostic center. During the examination of the woman, I was extremely surprised by this diagnosis, because, despite the severe swelling of the entire lower leg and foot, the only non-swollen place was the ankle joint. How the doctors at the diagnostic center managed to confuse the two conditions in such a situation is beyond me.
Although in fairness we must admit that in our medical practice there are cases when it is really difficult to determine the main cause of pain and swelling in the ankle area. For example, when vascular edema of the leg is combined with edema of the joint itself, it is not clear whether these two diseases are related. And here diagnostic procedures come to the aid of doctors.
To examine the vessels of the legs, rheovasography is performed. The joint itself is examined using x-rays. And in order not to “miss” arthritis, they do blood tests from a finger and from a vein. Usually the above studies are enough to clarify the diagnosis. Next, you need to choose the right treatment.
Arthrosis of the big toe, colloquially called gout, actually has nothing in common with gout. Although true gout does often affect the big toe, it is much less common than arthrosis. Moreover, while gout affects mostly men, arthrosis of the big toe develops most often in women.
Many people mistakenly assume that arthrosis and big toe deformity occur due to poor nutrition or mythical salt deposits. But that's not true.
In fact, arthrosis of the big toe sometimes develops as a result of injury or blow. But the most common cause of arthrosis and accompanying arthrosis deformation of the big toe is long-term wearing of fashionable shoes with a narrow toe or shoes that are too tight. Especially if tight shoes are worn by someone who has obvious flat feet.
Women in our country often had to wear such shoes (partly because of fashion, partly due to lack of choice) in times of total shortage. Perhaps it is precisely this circumstance that has led to the widespread spread of thumb pathology among our middle-aged and elderly women.
Ill. 4. Impact of narrow shoes on the foot
As a result of the pressure of the shoe, the big toe over time is strongly deflected inward and pressed against the second toe. The bone that protrudes due to deviation of the toe receives additional trauma (it is rubbed by shoes) while walking and gradually becomes deformed (Fig. 4). Later, not only the protruding bone, but also the entire joint is deformed. It becomes much thicker than it was before. The joint is blocked, and movement in such a joint is severely limited.
With advanced arthrosis, the deformity usually fixes the finger in the wrong position so strongly that it is almost impossible to return it to its normal position. In addition to this, due to constant friction, inflammation of the periarticular bursa can occur - bursitis (Fig. 5). Then the joint swells, turns red and hurts at the slightest touch.
Ill. 5. Combined foot deformity with advanced arthrosis of the big toe
The situation is aggravated by the fact that often the big toe, with its pressure, “pushes out” the second and third toes, which leads to a combined deformation of the entire foot, which is very difficult to treat with therapeutic methods.
And if at the very beginning, to eliminate troubles that have just arisen, sometimes it is enough to choose the right shoes (for example, give up narrow-toed shoes and give preference to those with a wide toe, more often use comfortable sports shoes) or use special pads placed between the big and second toes (such pads are now sold in many pharmacies), then in advanced cases the deformed joints have to be operated on.
Polyosteoarthrosis (multiple arthrosis of the small joints of the fingers) is considered a disease of “perestroika time” for the body, that is, it usually manifests itself during menopause, at the age of over 40 years. Women get sick much more often than men.
The disease begins with the appearance of nodules in the area of the finger joints, on their dorsal and lateral surfaces. In this case, the nodules located on the joints of the fingers closest to the nails (distal interphalangeal joints) are called Heberden's nodes . And nodules that form in the area of the proximal interphalangeal joints (that is, in the area of the joints located approximately halfway between the nails and the base of the fingers) are called Boucher's nodes (Fig. 6).
Heberden's nodes usually develop symmetrically, on the right and left arms simultaneously. In about a third of patients, their appearance is asymptomatic, that is, painless. Others, during the period of formation of nodules in the area of the finger joints, feel a burning sensation, tingling, and sometimes a sensation of “crawling goosebumps”. The joints often become swollen and red, and finger movements cause pain. Sometimes pulsating pains appear in the places where nodules form, which decrease after the contents of the nodules flow out through the burst skin.
This acute period of illness lasts from several weeks to several months, after which the swelling, redness and pain disappear, the nodules become dense and almost painless.
Subsequently, as osteoarthritis progresses, the deformation of the finger joints and their stiffness increases. At times, without any apparent reason, exacerbations may occur again with the development of phenomena characteristic of the period of nodule formation. Then these exacerbations just as unexpectedly, sometimes even without treatment, subside.
Busher's nodules are distinguished by another feature - they most often develop gradually, without exacerbations. In addition, these nodules are located mainly on the lateral surface of the joints, which is why the fingers acquire a spindle-shaped shape. Busher's nodes form more slowly than Heberden's nodes, they hurt less, but also lead to severe stiffness of the joints.
Over time, Heberden's and Boucher's nodes increasingly deform the hand, changing its appearance and leading to what is called "knobby-fingered hands." But for all that, fortunately, the disease does not change the general condition of the body; The activity of internal organs in polyosteoarthrosis, unlike arthritis, is not affected.
Arthrosis of the joints of the base of the thumb (rhizarthrosis) is often combined with Heberden's and Busher's nodes . Rhizarthrosis affects the joint located at the base of the thumb and connecting the metacarpal bone of the thumb to the wrist joint. Most often, rhizarthrosis develops in people whose profession involves increased stress on the thumb. The disease is manifested by moderate pain in the joint of the base of the thumb during movements, crunching and stiffness of the joint.
It must be borne in mind that the thumb is the “favorite place” for inflammation in gout and psoriatic arthritis. Therefore, if redness, swelling and severe pain develop in the thumbs, you should immediately consult a doctor who will conduct a differential diagnosis, determining what caused the inflammation - arthrosis or another disease.
Osteoarthritis of the shoulder joint is quite rare. Mostly people over 50 years of age are affected.
In most cases, arthrosis of the shoulder joints develops after injury. It also often affects men who have worked for many years in hard physical work (builders, mechanics, blacksmiths), or professional athletes (weightlifters, tennis players, shot putters, etc.). In addition, arthrosis of the shoulder joints can be the outcome of previously suffered arthritis.
