Are cold showers better than hot shower for a person with osteosclerosis.?
I take 1500 mg of glucosamina sulfato in power form everyday. Recently a friend told me to stop taking warm or hot showers . Is there anything I can do that will help?
----------
I'm not sure I understand your reference to osteosclerosis in this setting. Neither hot or cold showers nor glucosamine will affect ideopathic osteosclerosis. There have been trials with Roxythromicin, when it's associated with jaw pain.
If you are taking glucosamine for joint pain and you have an active swelling or imflammatory episode, then I'd stay away from hot showers for the short while. Otherwise, unless the heat is significant, you shouldn't have any problems with hot showers and they may help pain and mobility a little. (

what can cause osteosclerosis?
Osteosclerosis is normally detected on an X-ray as an area of whiteness, and is where the bone density has significantly increased. Localized osteosclerosis can be caused by injuries that compress the bone, by osteoarthritis, and osteoma. It occurs throughout the body in osteopetrosis.

Hearing problem - hearing aid or operation?
I have problem with my left ear. Can't hear soft noise, whisper or noises from distance. I was diagnosed with osteosclerosis - will receive my own hearing aid in 3 months or I can have surgery to fix one of my little bones in my ear. What is more beneficial? Shall I go for surgery? is it risky?
----------
A hearing aid is, of course, a non-surgical way to treat your hearing loss. There are essentially no risks involved using a hearing aid. It will make things louder when you use it and probably fit the bill quite nicely.
As you have been told, there are risks associated with the surgical procedure. The surgery most likely will close the air-bone gap (the difference between how you hear now and the inner ear potential which is now the conductive component of your hearing loss), however, it may not be successful or in rare cases it could cause irreversible severe hearing loss if something goes very wrong. Sometimes people may have immediate improvement and then shortly after the surgery some problems may arise that may or may not be able to be corrected with further surgery. If you have a successful surgery you may find after many years your hearing will decline again and you will probably have to use amplification at that time. Of course, you will have a "nerve" loss then and not a conductive hearing loss.
It is definitely your choice. Personally, if it were me, I would probably use a mild gain hearing aid until the loss gets to the point where you have a more moderate to severe loss.
I don't know how old you are, but keep in mind that this condition is often hereditary and your children may also have this later in their adulthood.
I would certainly recommend you seek the opinion of an otologist prior to making any surgical decisions and don't be afraid to get a second or maybe a third opinion before going "under the knife".
Good luck with your decision and your future hearing health care. (

how bad is fluoride??????????????
I have been reading studies that fluoride in some cases may not be good for you.
Side effects:
Increased bone fractures, fluorosis (discoloration /mottling, pitting of teeth), osteosclerosis, tinnitus,hearing loss, delayed brain development, tremors,bone / arthritic pains, greater risk of some cancers,skin rash, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal irritation,stomach ulcers, convulsions, death.
How much is too much? what is the recommended daily intake?
----------
whoever said it's good for you only knows what's been told to them, i thought the same thing before i started using fluoride based tooth cream (paste) and believe me they made my premolars and my front tooth loose but that's just personal experience and yes those studies you're talking about is kinda true, it's actually commercial waste.
