Detailed description of the study
There are a large number of different joint diseases. Among them are often found: rheumatoid arthritis, gout, post-infectious joint damage. Inflammation in the joints is manifested by swelling, tenderness, redness and a local increase in temperature in the affected area. Patients often experience pain and impaired joint mobility. In the future, their deformation, destruction of cartilage tissue, and narrowing of the joint space may occur. Some diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, also have systemic manifestations: a person notices pathological weakness, fatigue, weight loss, and fever.
It can be difficult to make a differential diagnosis of joint diseases due to similar symptoms. Laboratory tests help establish the correct diagnosis.
This study contains two tests necessary to identify the cause of joint inflammation:
- C-reactive protein;
- Uric acid.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of many molecules involved in immune responses. CRP is detected in the blood of patients during various inflammatory processes and is considered a marker of the acute phase of their course. An increase in CRP levels is observed within the first four hours after tissue damage and reaches a peak after 24–72 hours.
The content of CRP during inflammation can be increased by 20 times or more. The most common joint diseases that are accompanied by increased CRP are:
- Rheumatoid arthritis;
- Gout;
- Reactive arthritis.
CRP is also a marker of disease activity.
It should be noted that determining the level of CRP plays an important role in assessing joint inflammation, but is not a specific marker for this group of diseases. The indicator may reflect inflammation of another localization, including against the background of acute infections, injuries, and others.
Uric acid is one of the main products of protein metabolism in the human body. This substance is mainly excreted in the urine. When there is an excessive level of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia), deposition of its salts (urates) is observed with the formation of crystals. The latter are deposited in joints, subcutaneous tissue, and kidneys (where urates can form stones).
Gout is a systemic pathology, which is characterized by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals in the joints, as well as other organs and tissues. An increase in uric acid levels suggests that joint inflammation is associated with the development of this disease.
Thus, this comprehensive study will help the doctor in differential diagnosis of the causes of joint damage and selection of therapy.
It is necessary to donate venous blood for analysis. Often the complex is prescribed in conjunction with other studies, such as general analysis and blood biochemistry, to check other organs and systems.
A detailed description of the studies and reference values are presented on the pages with descriptions of individual studies.
Boar bile
Boar, like any other bile of carnivores, is used as a natural stimulator of metabolism in the body and to stimulate the digestive process in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. To summarize, the main function of bile is to disinfect food in the gastrointestinal tract. Boar bile is used for stomach disorders.
The medicinal properties of wild boar bile have been known since ancient times. Recommendations for their use mainly correspond to the recipes of ancient medicine. Preparations obtained from wild boar bile are used for acute and chronic hepatitis, cholecystitis, cholangitis, and arthrosis.
Medicines are prepared in the form of powders, pills, ointments, tinctures, tablets and canned bile. Bile, in combination with pancreatic enzymes, breaks down fats in the intestines into fractions that can be absorbed by the body and activates intestinal motility.
In wild boars, which accumulate significant reserves of fat by winter and use it during periods of starvation or hibernation, bile has acquired extremely important importance in the process of evolution.
Ancient healers noticed that the healing properties of bile were higher in animals killed in the autumn-winter period. In females, who have a more intense metabolism, the healing properties of bile are much higher than in males. When hunting an animal, the bladder should be removed immediately, since the experience of traditional medicine shows that bile removed after 2-3 hours loses its medicinal properties.

When is medical bile used for joints?
- chronic arthritis;
- arthrosis (especially of the knee joint)
- secondary radiculitis;
- spondyloarthritis;
- tenosynovitis;
- bursitis;

It is used externally in the form of compresses, rubbing, as an anesthetic and absorbable agent. Thus, you can relieve rheumatic pain, alleviate the pain of radiculitis and salt deposits in the joints.
- Treatment of spurs (heel spurs)
Heel spurs cause increased deposition of calcium salts in the joints.
The disease is accompanied by severe pain during movement, lameness, inflammation in the plantar fascia, and often leads to curvature of the affected leg.
Medical bile helps to quickly and permanently get rid of the disease, relieve inflammation and pain. The drug has a resorption effect, has a warming effect, and removes excess calcium salts from the joints.
Treatment for spurs involves the use of compresses with medicinal bile and other ingredients (for example, honey).
Before using the drug, it is recommended to shake it thoroughly and then perform the following steps:
- thick gauze or fabric is folded in several layers;
- soak the compress in the composition and apply it to the heel spur;
- secure with a tubular or elastic bandage; a layer of cotton wool can be placed on top of the compress;
- wrap in a layer of wax paper and put on warm socks or knee socks;
- the procedure is carried out before bedtime, and the next morning the compress is removed, the skin is washed with warm soapy water;
- the heel spur is wiped with medical alcohol or vodka, then a rich cream is applied to the sore spot;
- course of treatment - at least 20 daily procedures.
- Compress with bile and vodka
For the procedure you will need:
Medical bile - 40, vodka - 20 ml, grated laundry soap - 20 g.
Mix the necessary ingredients thoroughly and apply to the affected area overnight. The compress is also secured with cotton wool, wax paper and a warm sock.
Mix 50 ml honey. bile, 20 drops of iodine, tbsp. l. glycerin and 30 ml of alcohol in a glass container. Mix well, cover tightly and leave in a dark place for at least a week (maximum 10 days). Then you can use the tincture like any other compress. How long should you keep such compresses? As a rule, they are done at night and removed only in the morning.
- In medical terms, bunions are called hallux valgus. The disease most often occurs due to genetic predisposition, as well as when wearing uncomfortable and poor-quality shoes.
The disease causes a lot of inconvenience: pain while moving, the inability to choose the shoes you like, and besides, the lump itself, which forms near the big toe, does not look aesthetically pleasing.
There are several treatment options:
- Bile quickly relieves the patient from the disease of bunions, relieves pain and warms the affected joint. Before using the drug, you need to shake it well, and thoroughly steam the sore leg in hot water to which sea salt has been added.
- Bile and shampoo. 20 ml of medical bile is mixed with 10 ml of boiled water and the same amount of mild shampoo. The finished composition is applied to the affected area, secured with paper, a thick sock is put on and the compress is left for 12 hours. After the time is up, the skin is washed with soap and water and lubricated with baby cream.
- Treatment for bone fractures
For various limb injuries, such as sprains, fractures, dislocations, medical bile has a positive effect on the joints.
Compresses with bile help relieve swelling and pain from the affected limb, improve blood circulation, warm the joint, and enhance the regeneration of damaged tissue.
The compress must be kept throughout the night, the procedure must be carried out daily. During the treatment of fractures, it is necessary to take medications containing calcium.
