Arthritis or joint inflammation is a painful condition that can be debilitating in the long term if left untreated. However, with lifestyle changes and medications, a difference can be made not only physical pain, but emotional pain limitation of movement experienced by patients.
The seal, or the space between two bones, when ignited, leading to arthritis. It consists of cartilage wear which provides a damping effect of the joint and also acts as a buffer. When damaged, redness, pain, limited ability to move, stiffness and swelling occurs.
There are many types of inflammation. The reasons can be worn with age, broken bone, gonococcal infection and arthritis, or autoimmune disease where the body's immune system does not recognize its own tissues and attacks such as systemic lupus erythematosus. When inflammation is not resolved with treatment, it becomes chronic, osteoarthritis is the most common of this type.
However, we must not lose hope because there are treatment strategies. Lifestyle changes start with low impact aerobics, training for muscle tone and exercises to increase flexibility of movement.
Physical therapy may also be recommended included the use of heat or massage ice. Splints are used to support the joints lose their position. This is especially true for rheumatoid arthritis.
Other simple things to keep in mind not to stay in one position for a long time and avoid positions that exacerbate painful joints. Try to lose weight, especially if the pain is common in the legs or feet. Get enough sleep to prevent epidemics. Meditation to reduce stress can also help. Eat a healthy, diet rich in fruits and vegetables to meet the daily requirements of vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin E. It also recommends eating fatty foods fortified with omega-3, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, rapeseed linseed oil, soybean, pumpkin seeds and nuts.
However, these changes can not only make a difference, and medications can, but medication necessary to control its side effects, particularly if used over a long period of time. Over the counter medications such as acetaminophen are the first choice, the excess of which causes liver damage. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used as agents for relieving pain such as aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen. These have the potential risk of stomach ulcers, intestinal bleeding, heart attacks, strokes and kidney damage and should be used with caution.
There are also some prescription medications available if the above arrangements are not working. Biological fall into this category, that improve the quality of life for patients, but they are not without side effects. Steroids can also be used or applied directly into the joint or orally. Modifying antirheumatic drugs are used to treat the disease of autoimmune arthritis. Immuno suppressive used as a last resort.
If the medical approach does not work, then surgery to the joint can also be made for a joint replacement or arthroplasty to reconstruct the joint.
In conclusion, no matter how sound this debilitating disease, we must never lose hope and try to avoid that if the family history is present and adopt lifestyles to prevent chronic complications.
