A short video conversation (featuring Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter) arguing that joint pain is not solely caused by local joint damage; multiple external and systemic factors add to inflammation and can worsen joint pain. The excerpt emphasizes that while the knee may be inflamed, other contributing factors (environmental, dietary, systemic) play a role.
There are so many.
Factors that add.
To the inflammation.
That can make your joint pain worse.
Interestingly, joint pain isn't.
Just about the joint. We have this idea.
That my knee hurts.
There must be something wrong with my knee. Well, there is something wrong with your knee in that it's inflamed and irritated. But it's not.
Just your knee.
That'S causing the problem.
There are so many.
Factors that add.
To the inflammation.
That can make your joint pain worse. How many of us have a little bit of arthritis and when we get, you know, sick or we're feeling under the weather or we have this big weather change, then all of a sudden, bam, my joints are just feeling like crap. Well, that's because your general level of inflammation is increased and that can be caused by your environment, caused by toxins. It can be caused by the foods that we eat every day. We know that our diet. No American thinks that the American diet is safe and non toxic.
