Could be arthritis sounds more like spur or pressure pain though i think I would ask Doc for an xray that wasy you would know best way to treat I often get pain in feet legs that i know is not arthiritis becasue it differs than the pain in my shoulder /knees which I know is arthritis I believe this pain is pressure I also have at kleaset 100lbs to lose hope it helps

 Medicare paid for my DS revision, no problems.  The DS is an approved medicare surgery if you qualify as far as morbid obesity and comorbidities.  You just have to go through the hoops and get it at a center of excellence.

I use almost 2 grams a day of curcumin for my RA and it works for me.  I'm post op DS though, not RNY.

My rheumie just upped my dosage from 5 to 7 per week.  So far no hair loss.  At one time, prior to WLS, I was on max dose of 10 per week for a couple of years and had no hair loss.

I had RNY and need surgery on my big toe due to osteoarthritis.  My foot doc asked me if I could take Celebrex...  so is that considered okay with RNY?

Thanks!
