Pain In Joints, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Bone Thinning. Exposed To Cadmium, Arsenic. Causes?
A friend of mine has been dealing with terrible pain in her joints for years. The doctor said she has Rumatoid Arthrutis. She worked in a plant for 15 years and was subjected to Cadmium, Arsenic, PVC s PCB s and copper dust. Is it possible that these symptoms are part of her problem? She was also told that her bones are thinning.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain that your friend has sees to be due to polyarthritis. The chronic exposure to heavy metals can also aggravate the pain.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
