than 2 or 3 days, there is a strong chance that one has
arthritis.
Arthritis is a common disease that affects millions of people
worldwide. This can be felt in the person's joints, skin and
organs inside the body. Should the person feel anything wrong,
it is advisable to go straight to the doctor.
Doctors have discovered that there are over 100 types of
arthritis. Given the number, the doctor will not be able to know
which one is affecting the person without an examination.
There are 2 common forms of arthritis. The first is rheumatoid
arthritis which is considered a chronic disease. There is
inflammation in the joints caused by cartilage damage. Anyone
who has this will suffer long term joint damage that will lead
to chronic pain and disability. Pain is usually felt when waking
up in the morning and will gradually disappear during the day.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a problem that will not go away. This
happens in three stages. The first is swelling. The second is
the rapid division and growth of cells. The third is when these
cells release enzymes that will eat the bone causing the joint
to lose shape until the person will not be able to move it
anymore.
Since this is systemic disease, it can spread and affect other
organs in the body. The best way to prevent is from happening is
detecting it early to prevent the person from being disabled.
This can be treated with proper medication and therapy. There
many drugs available that the patient can use. Some drugs offer
pain relief to reduce the inflammation. Others can just do one
function.
The second is called osteoarthritis. This happens more often
than rheumatoid arthritis but
unlike the first, there is no
inflammation present. The cartilage in the joint is damaged and
will eventually degenerate. Pain will slightly be felt when the
person gets up but this will hurt later on during the day.
Osteoarthritis can either be primary or secondary. When it is
primary, it is often associated with age. It is similar to a car
where the parts have to be replaced due to wear and tear.
Doctors consider this to be normal as people grow older.
The secondary type is often associated with something else that
has caused this to happen. Some of these factors are an injury
that took place, heredity, obesity and bone density.
Osteoarthritis can be treated with medication, exercise, weight
control, joint protection, physical and occupational therapy.
This is done to relieve the pain and slow the progression of the
disease.
Both of these are caused by different things. The common thing
between these 2 types is that joint pain can happen anywhere in
the body.
Given the many medications available to treat this disease, the
patient has to be aware of the side effects of each before
choosing which one to use. The doctor should explain these to
the person in order to make the right decision.
Arthritis and it's different forms will not go away. Since this
is an insurable disease, the best thing that the doctor and
others can do until a cure if found is to help the patient ease
the pain the slow the growth of the disease.
