Arthritis is called malnutritional changes in the joints, which are inherent in cartilage destruction. Through this disease, the inflammatory process gradually develops and the suspended tissue is degenerative. According to statistics, arthritis is the most common disease among people aged 30 and older, and it affects all segments of the population, regardless of gender, and currently 80% of our planet’s total population is considering pathology.
Causes of joints
The articity of the joint begins with direct invasion of the metabolic process in the joint. This may be due to common hormonal diseases, genetic factors and older age.But doctors identified the most likely reasons for the development of the process:
- Dislocations, bruises, ligaments in the joints, usually cause any damage;
- Too much weight - This increases the load on the joints multiple times;
- Previously used acute shaped and suppurative arthritis;
- Diseases related to autoimmune classification – such as scleroderma or lupus red;
- Frequent colds;
- Periodic hypothermia - this may be due to the details of labor activities;
- The inflammation process in the body is specific - such as syphilis, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, tickworm - encephalitis;
- Impaired blood supply for femoral diseases - Pertes disease;
- Diseases in thyroid function;
- Hemophilia - Damaged blood clotting.
It is not worth excluding the fact that nutritional inferiority is - this can lead to metabolic diseases, which is the main reason for the development of arthritis. Miners, blacksmiths, metallurgists, and everyone who regularly experiences major physical exercise can consider the possibility of a pathological process being considered. The doctor talked about the development mechanism of joint deformed joints:
Joint symptoms and arthritis degree
The main sign of the disease considered is painful - it occurs when the body is applied excessively on a specific joint, the rest may subside and disappear regularly against the background of pain in the joint areas affected by the inflammatory process, and congestive (redness of the skin) and swelling can occur.Usually, doctors identify 4 main signs of:
- pain. Of course, this symptom is a characteristic of many diseases, but arthritis has some painful characteristics:
- Unpleasant feelings only occur when exercise is performed.
- Once a person introduces joints into rest, the syndrome disappears. Note: The pathological process considered develops very slowly, so at the beginning of its course, the worry of the joints only occurs regularly in the joints, specifically overloading. At night, the patient's pain will not be disturbed, and the dream will not be disturbed. Then, as the joints develop, morning pain begins to appear - they are characterized by the patient's "lens", which are different in the short term, and only occur in the early morning. If arthritis is in a neglected state, pain syndrome is essentially acute and constant—even effective and reliable medications cannot reduce its intensity.
- Reduce joint mobility. It is also considered one of the characteristics of arthritis, but it has already occurred during the stages of positive progression of the disease. During the development of arthritis, the growth/germination of bone tumors can cause spasms of muscle tissue, reducing the lumen in the joint pockets - ensuring the limitation of movement of this position.
- Closing.Even in absolutely healthy people, joints scream, but for arthritis, the qualities of tightness are unique - it is "dry", does not click, and is always accompanied by acute pain.
- Joint deformation. This phenomenon occurs with the growth of bone plants and is considered one of the latest signs of arthritis, which occurs at a deficient stage of the pathological process being considered.
The radiological diagram of joint properties at 4 degrees is depicted below:
Experts tell more about joint symptoms:
Note: The disease considered is very slow, and in the first stage it may not have any symptomatic characteristics at all, and the inconsistency of joint pain and fatigue is even inherent in healthy and physically exhausted people. Therefore, independent diagnosis of joints is almost impossible.
The diagram describes the process that occurs in the joint tissue of the joint:
Joint therapy principles
- Doctors believe that the treatment of aching joints is needed in the early stages of pathological development - this is a guarantee not only to get rid of the inflammatory process, but also to restore the function that has been lost. Doctors can use a variety of ways to treat joints - this is a prescription for medications, physical therapy and routine care treatments. In any case, the treatment of the pathology considered should be comprehensive and based on the following basic methods:
- It is necessary to eliminate joints from the load. This does not mean that patients should maintain strict bed rest, but it is necessary to maximize the load on the part of the body that has problems – for example, changing jobs or refusing to train.
- Apparently, the timetable for medical sport is followed - the attending physician is conducted by such appointments and the experts should conduct the course.
- Mandatory treatment of arthritis should include physical therapy - magnetic therapy, electrotherapy, laser and shock wave therapy.
- Visiting a professional resort - Nursing Home Treatment will not only help with successful recovery/recovery after successful treatment, but also prevent arthritis from recurring.
- Clearly perform all prescriptions related to the medication.
- Perform intraarticular block.
- Diet correction.
Drug treatment
In a complex of drug therapy, the following drugs must be used:
- Anti-inflammatory (medicine. This group of drugs performs two functions immediately: relieve pain and eliminate the inflammatory process. Doctors use non-replacement anti-inflammatory drugs for arthritis and do not prescribe them orally (in tablets) - this category of drugs works on the gastric mucosa. Given that the treatment process for arthritis is long, patients can get rid of the underlying disease, but "make money" gastritis (inflammatory in the gastric mucosa), or even peptic ulcers. So, depending on the specific drug selected, they are intravenous or intramuscular. In the pharmacy network, you can buy non-replacement anti-inflammatory drugs and topical uses - such ointments can be used, but they won't have a strong effect or a long-term time.
- Hormone corticosteroids. This group of drugs is most effective during worsening arthritis. However, similar drugs in pharmacies also represent ointments in the form of plasters - they are only used externally and you can expect a fairly quick, powerful effect.
- Cartilage protector. These drugs help restore cartilage tissue. Please note: The treatment process with these drugs is very long, but if there is no positive result within 6 months, the cartilage protectant will either cancel or adjust its dosage.
Usually, during the treatment of arthritis, experts prescribe medications that help lower cartilage tissue. But doctors warn their patients that you should not wait for quick results – a noticeable positive shift will not be earlier than two weeks after taking the medication.
Please note: If a patient is hospitalized with arthritis during the most severe stage of developmental and pain syndrome and the doctor cannot remove any pain medication, an analgesics can be prescribed, but this is extremely rare.
diet
The importance of proper nutrition to the joint is difficult to assess - if the patient ignores the nutritionist's advice, the treatment of the pathological process considered may be delayed for years and the results will not be high.
What do patients forced to receive joint treatment need to remember:
- Make sure to correct your weight - starvation is strictly prohibited (the nutrition of cartilage tissue in the joints will be destroyed), but it is worth giving up flour and sweets;
- Alcohol is prohibited, especially beer, which are incompatible with many drugs and can cause positive allergic reactions, followed by alcohol and beer as a set of extra pounds.
- In the diet, it is necessary to introduce jelly - the product restores connective tissue and strengthens cartilage.
- Make sure to control enough B vitamins. Vitamin B. Of course, you can use vitamin complexes, but it is very likely that this substance is present every day as well as it appears from products, beans, beans, cabbage, and tomatoes.
- The diet should have bananas, nuts, poultry liver, milk, eggs and mushrooms. Folic acid, riboflavin and pyridol will enter the body from these products - they are very helpful in considering the pathological processes being considered
The folk treatment of arthritis
There are dozens of folk ways to treat joints, but all of them will only relieve unpleasant symptoms, but will not eliminate inflammation and the main causes of disease development. Of course, compression and application, leaves with horse chestnuts, cabbage and clove meat have analgesic effects and even allow patients to recover their pace of life for a period of time.But it requires consultation from a doctor:
- First, it is necessary to ensure that the joint is strictly affected by the joint.
- Second, taking specific medications will greatly reduce the recovery process.
- Third, doctors will be able to identify the real cause of the destruction process in the joints, guiding the troops to eliminate them, resulting in a complete cure.
