Your Arthritis Diagnosis May Not Explain Your Joint Pain

Joint pain doesn't always begin with worn cartilage and joint breakdown. For many people, inflammation may already be present before arthritis ever becomes visible on an X-ray. Two people do the same job for years. One develops severe joint pain, the other feels fine. The wear-and-tear story can't explain that. For many people, inflammation may already be present before arthritis becomes visible on an X-ray. In this video, Dr. Scott Woodworth (BSc, ND) explains why an arthritis diagnosis often describes your imaging accurately while still failing to explain why your joints actually hurt, why inflammation matters in both osteoarthritis and autoimmune forms of arthritis, and how delayed food reactions may be one of the hidden factors quietly driving chronic joint inflammation. There's a clue hiding in plain sight: anti-inflammatory drugs often work for osteoarthritis, which shouldn't happen if it were purely non-inflammatory wear and tear. If those medications help your joints, you've already run a diagnostic test on yourself without knowing it. 📘 FREE eBook Food Intolerance, Allergy or Sensitivity?
