Understanding Rheumatoid Arthritis
Overview
Rheumatoid arthritis is a prevalent form of arthritis, second only to osteoarthritis in terms of the number of people affected. This serious condition stems from joint inflammation and can cause debilitating pain, often significantly impacting daily life. It predominantly affects women more than men.
Progression and Symptoms
The progression of rheumatoid arthritis occurs in three stages:
1. Initial Stage: Begins with painful swelling and stiffness in the joints.
2. Second Stage: The pain intensifies, severely affecting bones and cartilage, leading to restricted movement.
3. Chronic Stage: The condition becomes chronic and challenging to treat.
Importance of Early Diagnosis
Consult a doctor immediately if you experience joint pain?"do not wait for additional symptoms. Self-medicating with over-the-counter drugs can worsen the condition.
Treatment and Management
Early medical intervention is crucial. A doctor can confirm if you have rheumatoid arthritis and initiate a treatment plan to manage the severity of symptoms. Delaying diagnosis and treatment may lead to a worsening condition, potentially requiring surgery, which is painful and costly.
Precautionary Measures
Alongside medical advice, consider these steps:
- Protect affected areas from stress and exertion.
- Maintain a healthy weight to reduce joint pressure.
- Consult a physiotherapist to learn specific exercises tailored to your condition, and perform them regularly.
By taking these actions, you can better manage rheumatoid arthritis and improve your quality of life.
