Arthritis - Causes, signs, symptoms, levels and treatment of joints are

Arthritis is a complex Dystrophic disease associated with destroying cartilage tissue inside joints.This pathological process is the most common common disease in the world.Arthritis is manifested by pain, morning hardness and limit of motor ability.The gradual progression of symptoms is typical, however, the growth rate of the disease may vary.

The diagnosis is performed on the basis of Anamnesis, clinical examination and X -ray results.Joint treatment is usually conservative: exercise therapy, anti -inflammatory drugs, physics, blockade, etc.

We will consider what is more detailed about this disease and how to treat it, we will review more in the article.

What is Arthrosis?

Arthrosis are degenerative changes in the structure of joints, accompanied by pain and deformation that can be visible.The second name of the disease, used in international classification - osteoarthritis.

The disease is characterized by slow progression, although it can be accelerated by some external factors.It all depends on the personal characteristics of the body, the patient and its important method of activity.

According to statistics, arthritis is ill with 6,512% of the global population.Mostly people over 65 years old (62 matches 85% of cases) were affected.Tends to rejuvenate the pathology of the Viking people: In different countries, about 30 35% of patients are people aged 45 6565 and 2-3% years old 205.

People who are less familiar with medicine think that arthritis and joints are the same and the same.In fact, this is not so, because in the first case, the disease is acute inflammation, and in the second - a long period, less pronounced.

Type

The word of joint diagnosis may vary, although the nature of the disease is the same.Typically, the patient's questions and misunderstandings are related to some of the last terms of arthritis:

• Arthritis is a classic arthritis, in which an inflammatory process is pronounced;
• Bone fibrosis is completely like arthritis;
• Deformation (osteoarthritis) - Late stages of the disease, are manifested by deformation and joints;
• Coksartrosis - a term abbreviated to the damage of the hip joint;
• Gonartrosis is a short term that means arthritis of the knee joint;
• Spondylarthrosis is a lesions of arthritis of small joints of the spine.

There are many varieties of this disease.Classification can occur on the basis of localization of affected areas and depending on the cause of the disease.

Types of arthritis depending on the localization:

• Knee
• Hip joint
• Cervix
• Brachial
• Hands and fingers
• Backbone
• Ankle
• Nguyen Phat polyosteoarthrosis

Depending on the number of related joints, the following varieties are distinguished:

• Single.
• Oligoarthrosis - There are no more than 2 joints affected.
• Polyarthrosis - Join from 3 joints.

The level of damage to joints

The degree of arthritis	Symptom
1 degree	The first stage of arthritis - there is no significant morphological change, only the composition of the dislocated fluid liquid is disturbed.Provides worse liquids for cartilage tissue with nutrients, resistance of cartilage for conventional loads.Due to overload of joint surfaces, inflammation occurs, the pain appears.
2 degrees	The joints are destroyed.Osteophytes is formed.Pain during loading and movement becomes stronger, a characteristic crunch in the affected places is heard.
3 degrees	This is the most serious development stage of this disease.There is a pathological change in the positions of the joints.Inflammation occurs.The patient feels hard when moving, because muscles cannot shrink and fulfill their functions.

Reason

The formation of arthritis is facilitated by two causes - loads and no adequate nutrition provides vitamins and minerals to restore tissue.The joints of each person carry the load.Athletes and dancers, with physical work, their feet larger, means that the joints are worn out faster and requires high nutrition.With a calm lifestyle, the apparatus supports slower, but also requires periodic renovation of fabrics.

Nguyen Phat arthritis

This type is often associated with congenital low and cartilage trend for damage and destruction due to metabolic disorders.The most common causes of this disease:

• genetics and genetics;
• menopause;
• Regularly and, at first glance, minor injuries (for example, between athletes).

Secondary arthritis

The secondary type is often deformed and progresses according to the background of a reduction in cartilage stability compared to conventional load.The development of this pathology is facilitated by:

• injury;
• obesity;
• Weaknesses of ligaments and muscles;
• arthritis.

With age, the tendency of the disease increases.After 70 years, muscle disease has been diagnosed with each second retirement.Because the maximum download falls on the foot (one move - walk, stand, run, jump), these are the first signs formed.

Signs and symptoms of arthritis

Arthrosis is chronic disease.Sometimes the disease may be leaked for many years, only occasionally recalling the pain in the joints on the joints or difficult movements.But it also happens that the disease grows rapidly to a serious stage in just a few months.

In all cases, it is important to remember that if you do not treat the disease, its symptoms will increase over time, worsen the quality of life and in serious cases - leading to disabilities and fixed.

Symptoms for joint disease:

• Pain.The feeling of pain with arthritis is pronounced, especially after different types of loads.When a person comes to a peaceful state, after a while, the discomfort disappears.Inlandization of pain occurs directly in where changes in the normal structures of the body have occurred.In some cases, muscle pain may occur when a person rests and completely relaxes.They appear very strong and powerful, which can be compared to toothache.Usually this happens in the morning.
• The second sign of arthritis is a crisis, but you should not confuse this symptom with the usual click, found in most people, and does not cause discomfort.A brittle in the disease is characterized by rough and dry sound, it causes pain and serious discomfort.With the development of the disease, symptoms are becoming different and more painful.
• Reduce the mobility of joints.It is also considered one of the typical symptoms of arthritis, but it has appeared at the stage of positive progression of the disease.In the process of developing muscle diseases, the growth/germination of bones occurs, leading to muscle tissue spasms, reducing the heart in the general bag - limiting motion in this place is guaranteed.
• Common deformation.Its amendments are determined by the fact that bone cells grow on bone surface and fluid fluid.Although deformation is one of the latest symptoms, when muscle disease has caused joints to a large extent.
• Change in muscular melody.At first, especially with intense pain, the perpendicular muscles were very stressful according to reflexes.In the future, when the motor activity is lost, muscles are atrophy.
• Skin expression.An optional sign.In the initial stages, the red color of the skin in the projection of the joint is possible.In the future, when arthritis and muscle atrophy progresses, the skin becomes pale, becomes dry, pigment.

Knee Hip Brachial Spondylarthrosis (spondylarthrosis)	Ankle The small joints of the hand CONTROL Wrist

Complication

If arthritis does not provide the right attention, timely and unconventional treatment, this not only leads to the complete destruction of the disease, but also changes the biological mechanism of the spine, which makes her hernia in the intervertebral discs and the development of Arthrosis, so far still healthy.

The danger of the wrong treatment at any type of arthritis lies in complications related to it, adverse consequences:

• The joints are deformed and gradually destroyed;
• The movement becomes limited, the general mobility is partially limited or completely;
• The spine is disturbed;
• Interdiscount's hernia is formed;
• Development nerves;
• The standard of life of patients with Arthrosis decreases;
• That person becomes disabled.

Diagnose

First of all, they try to see structural changes in affected areas, to assess the severity and their circulation rate.In addition, metabolic disorders in the body should be determined, have become a favorable foundation for the appearance of arthritis.Therefore, the survey includes the following events:

• X -ray.
• Magnetic resonance tomography.
• Ultrasonic research.
• Endoscopy joints.
• Biochemical tests (hormonal spectrums, signs of inflammation, calcium metabolism, aphids).

Taking into account the characteristics of X-rays, experts in the field of orthopedic and injury distinguish the later stages of muscle disease (Kellgren-Lawrence):

• Stage 1 (suspicious arthritis) - suspected narrowing the general gap, bone cells are not available or available in small amounts.
• Stage 2 (soft) - The suspicion of narrowing the general gap, bone cells are clearly defined.
• Stage 3 (average) - a clear narrowing of the joint distance, may have clear osteoporosis, bone deformation is possible.
• Stage 4 (serious arthritis) - a clear narrowing of the joint distance, large bone cells, distinct bone deformation and bone sclerosis.

Please note: The process of the disease is being considered very slowly and at the first stage, it may not be characterized by any symptoms, and joint pain is inconsistent and increased fatigue can be inherent even for healthy people with great physical efforts.Therefore, independent diagnosis of arthritis is almost impossible.

How to treat arthritis of joints

Principle of arthritis treatment:

• Eliminate excessive loads on joints;
• Treatment with anti -inflammatory drugs and painkillers.In addition, in complex therapy, Chondroprotector is actively used for arthritis;
• Physiotherapy physical therapy;
• hygienic treatment;
• Magnet therapy, electric therapy, laser therapy, shockwave therapy;
• Internal oxygen therapy;
• inner blockade;
• It is important to choose the right nutrition for Arthricis.

Drug usage method

How to treat muscle disease with medicine?This problem is the most common among patients.Treatment is done using three groups of drugs:

1. Chondroprotector.The medications of this group restore Hyaline cartilage, as they contain its parts.They are recommended by all patients in the form of a long-term article (courses 3-4 times a year).Use tablets and capsules.
2. Corticosteroid hormones.This group of drugs is most effective during the time to worsen arthritis.Usually, intramuscularly is done.But a similar drug in pharmacies is also shown in the form of plasters, ointment - they are only used outside, you can expect a fairly fast and powerful effect.
3. The use of non -painful anti -inflammatory drugs and eliminates inflammation.
4. Inject.The injection quickly stops pain, reduces activity symptoms.Intramuscular, intravenous or intravenous injection of the drug should only be performed by a medical staff.These funds cannot save patients from the cause of developing the disease, but reduces the effectiveness of his negative manifestations.

From other drugs to treat muscle diseases, drugs used:

• Improve blood in the joints;
• Improve the supply of "B" oxygen joint tissue;
• metabolic action in cartilage;
• Sensitive agents reduce the body's reaction ability;
• Synthetic hormone of the adrenal gland.

Surgical treatment

Surgical method implies two ways to solve the problem:

1. Endoscopy is an activity performed on joints.Through perforation, a special needle was introduced, eliminating damaged areas and polishing the affected area.
2. The prosthetic leg is a complex activity, including removing damaged joints and dipping a new joint.Modern orthodontics walk forward, release new, improved parts that are extremely rarely rejected by the body, and their wear does not cause discomfort.

Exercise therapy for arthritis

Medical physical education is used for muscle diseases during the semi -acute phase.The main tasks of exercise therapy:

• Orthopedic (eliminate defects of affected limbs);
• Static load reduction on joints;
• Improve the mobility of joints or prevent its decline.

Exercise Digoen and a set of exercises for muscles and joints can be done.The exercises for affected joints are done in lying position, on the side or on the back, sitting.They are interspersed with breathing exercises to relax muscles.Patients perform movements in the joints independently or with the help of the instructor.

In classes, the appearance of pain should not be allowed.The exercises are done at a slow speed and only after removing acute symptoms.Sudden and high amplitude movement should be avoided, which can cause discomfort.

Physical education must be involved in the monitoring of a doctor and after having the necessary skills, you can start home exercises.

Physiotherapy and manual therapy

The use of these treatments for very good results in the initial stages of arthritis.

1. Craft treatment should only be performed by an experienced doctor who proved himself in the treatment of joint diseases.For example, in the treatment of knee joints, manual therapy along with limb extract, internal injection and chondroprotors can quickly place patients on their feet.
2. Physical therapy is used as auxiliary treatment to accelerate the rehabilitation time.Their main goal is to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue regeneration.Procedures such as laser and refrigerated therapy, thermal treatment- ozokerite, mud bath, paraffin and uOF therapy are widely used.

Food and diet

Diet with joints of joints aims to adjust metabolic processes, body weight, prevent irreversible changes in the joint cartilage of joints, reduce inflammation and enhance connective tissue joint structure.There is no special diet for joint disease.The following principles are based on therapeutic nutrition:

1. Foods should be full of physiological and balanced with high vitamins and minerals.The energy value of a diet for patients with normal weight must correspond to the average value of daily energy consumption and not exceed it.
2. The use of salt is limited to 5-8 g/day, as well as salt products (salt, canned food, chips, salted fish).
3. The use of free liquid should be increased to 2-2.5 l/day.
4. It is necessary to eliminate product processing using frying.Food should be grilled, steamed, cooked or stewed.
5. You need to switch to regular nutrition, fraction.
6. Foods should be done in small parts, which will eliminate excessive eating and weight gain.

For arthritis, the use of diet is extremely difficult.Because in this type of diet, the body deportes a large amount of liquid, so washed calcium and potassium from bones and joints.

Useful products:

• Fish and seafood, nuts, linen oil, as a source of omega - 3.
• Low meat and jelly.
• Products rich in vitamins E, D, C, A and groups B. These are fresh fruits, vegetables and berries.It is especially useful for use: radish, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage, blueberries, legumes, bananas, oranges, apples and whole seeds.
• Ginger and other spices.
• Milk and dairy products are a great source of calcium.
• The new juice tightens.

Products are banned:

• Fast food, sausage products, successful products, chips and all refined products.
• Fat meat.
• Sdoba, white bread, sugar.
• Fat milk products, saline cheese.
• Mayonnaise, genetically modified fat.
• White rice, semolina.
• Marinate, conserve, salt.
• Wine, energy, soda.

Folk treatment method

Before using any folk remedy for joint muscle disease, make sure to consult your doctor.

1. Crushing ghost trees and junipes into a homogeneous block.Connect with butter 1: 3. To relieve pain, rub joint pain up to 3 times a day.
2. The roots, flowers or branches of a black person.Pour 1 tablespoon.The spoon of raw material with 1 glass of boiling water.Improving, packing, 3 hours, then stressed.Drink 1/4 cup up to 4 times a day 30 minutes before meals.
3. Boil 10 g of laurel leaves in 250 ml of water for five minutes.Leaving for five hours.Occasionally drink alcohol in small sips all day.Three days we were treating, we rested in the year, then we were treated for three days.
4. Mustard compressed with honey.Mix mustard powder with honey and add an egg.Place the ointment on the gauze and apply to the pain point.
5. Complicated compression.Cut the cabbage into pieces and pass through the juicer.Moisten natural wool tissue in juice and attach to the pain point.
6. A series is another great remedy for joint treatment.Boil in 250 ml of boiling water 2 large tablespoons of a series.After 20 minutes, decoction is ready.Take 2 tablespoons three times a day before meals.The course is 30 days.
7. The ointment of chrysanthemums, Calendula and Burdock deals well with pain, reducing inflammation.To prepare, you need to mix with equal chrysanthemum flowers, calendula, Burdock roots, connect herbs to oil jelly and leave for 1-2 days.Use ointment for severe pain up to 5 times a day.
8. In boiling water, placing equal parts of willow bark, birch and calendula flowers.Boil the mixture for 10 minutes, then let it incubate under the same lid.You need to take a decoction of chilling 200 ml half an hour before meals.

Prevent

In reducing the risk of arthritis, the following moments play an important role:

• Eliminate additional pounds;
• Treatment of musculoskeletal disease;
• Positive movement throughout life;
• Appropriate nutrition (diet, balanced diet);
• Avoid lower body temperature;
• A healthy lifestyle with appropriate regime.
