Q. Is degenerative disc disease and arthritis the same thing? My husband was recently in a auto accident at work. They did a CT Scan of his head and neck. The doctor said that the CT Scan found that he has arthritis in his neck. After receiving the report ourselves to take to another doctor it reads: "There is minimal early degenerative disc disease with osteophyte formation predominately at C5-6. " My husband never had a problem with his neck before the accident

A. I also have degenerative disc and osteoarthritis, it is different. I have fibromyalgia, so muscle pain along with the bone and joint pain. I have had two fusions in my c-spine. The osteophyte is a bone spur according to my doctor and he told me they usually start with the onset of arthritis. So good luck and if I can help in anyway with Questions please email me!

Q. What's the thing with having diabetes and flights? I heard that I might have problems with my feet and I should buy special socks.

A. Hello. I cannot answer anything about the "flights", but I can really attest to diabetes and feet pain. A lot of diabetics get what is called "Charcot foot". I have that now and am NOT diabetic, although I am learning that if a specific blood test called a "Hemoglobin A1C" is elevated, then it may be helpful to go thru the whole realm of glucose challenge tests, etc, just to have everything checked out. However, it is predominantly diabetics who suffer with Charcot foot. I am learning that in the beginning of the advanced stages, except for putting orthotics in your shoes, there is not too much that can be done, except soaking the feet (no more than 10 minutes a day in warm water only), wear good socks and perhaps get orthotics for your shoes. Initially I found a Sport/Ski shop that sold orthotics to put in ski boots that really helped, but now it is getting a little more complicated. Charcot is NOT fatal. It does affect 1 in about 2,500 people. D
