Is There Any Permanent Cure For Arthritis? Can Synovial Fluid Be Regenerate Or Induced Artificially?
I would like to know about the possibility of cure for Arthritis . My mother is affected by this disease for about 3 years. Is there any permanent cure for this? Also, I have heard or learnt that the main cause for the pain & inflammation is the loss of the Synovial fluid . Can that be regenerated or artificially induced? Thanks & Regards SOURAV BHATTACHARYA

I believe your mother has osteoarthritis.
there is no permanent cure except for lifestyle changes and exercise.
synovial fluid cannot be regenerated. it is the cartilage you are talking about. loss of cartilage causes this problem.
