Q:

Who is most likely to develop gout?

A:

Gout tends to affect men more than women, and it typically sets in at a younger age for men (in their 20's and 30's). You can also have a higher chance of developing gout if you have a family history of gout. Certain lifestyle factors, such as excessive alcohol intake and being overweight can also lead to an increased chance of gout. If you feel you may have gout, you should speak with your family physician.

Q:

How can physiotherapy help my scoliosis?

A:

Depending on the symptoms you are experiencing with your scoliosis, a Physiotherapist may be very helpful in your treatment plan. A physiotherapist who is experienced in working with scoliosis can help you work on your posture and strength through appropriate exercises, and can also assist with pain relief. Aside from Physiotherapists, you may also benefit from working with an Occupational Therapist or Chiropractor. Speak with your rheumatologist to see if you should consider these therapists.

Q:

Why should I watch my child's behaviour if they have a fever?

A:

Changes in your child's behaviour when they have a fever can be very telling in terms of helping you figure out whether they can be easily treated at home or should see a doctor. If they are eating well and seem to have a typical amount of energy, chances are their fever is not related to anything serious even if it is above 38 degrees. Now, if a child has a fever above 38 degrees and is very lethargic or you notice changes in their behaviour, you should have them assessed immediately by a healthcare professional.
