Bellmore Podiatrist

NEWS RELEASE from Bellmore
Podiatrist located in Long Island.
Did you know that your Bellmore
podiatrist may be the first health
care professional in Long Island to
find rheumatologic causes of foot
pain. For example: rheumatoid
arthritis is a disease that affects the
entire body. There are certain lab
tests that I order to rule out
suspected Rheumatiod Arthritis
that manefest as foot pain. If
one were to order a rheumatiod
factor and this were to be positive
one should be careful not to assume
that there is not also a sero negative
arthridity present. What is to stop a
Bellmore podiatrist's patient from
having both rheumatoid arthritis and
gout at the same time? Rheumatiod
arthritis is a sero positive arthridity
and gout is a sero negative artridity.
