What You Should Know About Arthritis
Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis is a prevalent condition affecting millions globally. It can impact joints, skin, and internal organs. If you experience muscle pain lasting more than two or three days, consider consulting a doctor as it might be arthritis.
Varieties of Arthritis
Doctors recognize over 100 types of arthritis. Without an examination, pinpointing the exact type can be challenging.
Common Types of Arthritis
1. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA):
- A chronic condition characterized by joint inflammation due to cartilage damage.
- Can cause long-term joint damage, chronic pain, and disability.
- Pain usually occurs in the morning and lessens throughout the day.
- RA progresses in three stages: swelling, rapid cell growth, and enzyme release that damages bones, leading to joint deformity.
- It's a systemic disease, potentially affecting other organs. Early detection is crucial to prevent disability.
- Treatments include medication and therapy for pain relief and inflammation reduction.
2. Osteoarthritis (OA):
- More common than RA and not associated with inflammation.
- Involves cartilage damage and degeneration in joints.
- Pain may be mild initially but worsens later in the day.
- Primary OA: Often age-related, similar to a car's parts wearing out. Considered normal as people age.
- Secondary OA: Linked to factors like injury, heredity, obesity, and bone density.
- Treatment involves medication, exercise, weight management, joint protection, and physical and occupational therapy to alleviate pain and slow disease progression.
Managing Arthritis
Both types of arthritis can cause joint pain throughout the body. Various medications are available, each with potential side effects. It's important to discuss options with a doctor to make informed decisions.
Conclusion
While arthritis cannot be cured, managing symptoms and slowing its progression is possible with the right approach. Consult with healthcare professionals to ease pain and maintain quality of life until a cure is discovered.
