Hi there,

I didn't post yet on this forum, although I have Arthrosis in my knees since
8 years.
I had to stop sports two years ago, because my knees started swelling from
inside
after training hours and it took approx. 2 weeks to diminish after.

Recently I got the Mosquito disease "Chikungunya" which is the same like
"Ross River Fever" , a malaria kind of infection.

I had terrible pains in all my joints during the last 3 months and I felt
like 10 years older.

Actually the point is, that now, after all the symptoms are gone, the
swelling is gone as well!

I tried running on the beach - I am living on the Island of Mauritius -
excessively, and ......
I couldn't believe it..... there was no swelling of my knees anymore! And I
don't take tablets
or else, never.

Is this only temporarily or did I find the real cure for the Arthritis?

Would like to have soime more opinions.

Sounds like you had chronic inflamation (and this has likely caused some
long term problems, making it easier for it to re-occur) from overuse
(and probably incorrect footwear for your running style) and the time
off your feet when you were sick gave your body a chance to recover for
once. I had a similar issue where inflamation in the SI joints was
ongoing for years and then when I was off my feet for a few months the
inflamation went right down.

Regards,

Ari

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
