Joint Pain Causes
Arthritis is a term that covers a variety of joint disorders. It can be caused by inflammation, injury, wear and tear, or infection. Joint pain can be described as stiffness and painful movement of the spine, feet or knees, as well as in the fingers, fingers, knees, hips, knees, or legs. The likelihood of experiencing joint pain is increased when there are more than 100 joints in the body. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. This is caused by the degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bones as aging takes its toll. Rheumatoid and gout are the next most common forms of arthritis. Gout is more common in men than women and rheumatoid affects more men.
Osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative arthritis. It occurs when the joint cartilage between the ends of a joint begins to break down, allowing for contact of both ends of the bone. This can lead to severe pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of movement. Osteoarthritis can be caused by aging, heredity, trauma, or disease. Primary osteoarthritis is caused by natural aging of the joints. Secondary osteoarthritis is caused by obesity, surgery to the joints, congenital abnormalities and repeated trauma. Rheumatoid is an autoimmune condition that results in inflammation and swelling of the joints, cartilage, and bones. It can affect the body in asymmetrical ways, such as affecting both the wrists and both the hands.
Gout
Gout is caused by uric acid crystals building up in the joints. This causes inflammation in the knees and wrists as well as the toe. Gout can also be exacerbated by certain lifestyle choices, certain drugs, or certain traits in a person’s past. There are many ways to reduce the risk of chronic joint pain. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the most common treatment for arthritis. They include naprosyn, ibuprofen, and aspirin. Regular exercise is a way to prevent arthritis from developing in adults. It also helps to improve flexibility and muscular strength. Over exertion can cause joint strain and should be avoided.
Low impact aerobic exercise, such as swimming and cycling, is better than following a structured exercise program. The use of heat or cold, such as sauna baths or hot towels, can be used to treat joint pain. By preventing obesity, the body is not burdened by excess weight. This reduces the stress on the joints. Good nutrition must be provided that includes iron, calcium and fish oils, as well as vegetables, fresh fruits, cereals, and nutritional supplements. Early diagnosis can help to prevent long-term complications that can affect the daily functioning of people with arthritis. For a better life, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Self-management techniques such as exercise and assistive devices like canes are also recommended.
