Arthritis
is a painful disease, which in some cases can lead to disability, so protect
bones, and joints from a young age.
Bones and joints are necessary for maintaining
physical structure and movement, which is very important to take care of if
their health is affected, then a disease related to bones and joints may occur.
For example, if for some reason the joints the available fat decreases and the
bones begin to rub together, then this disease is called arthritis in medical
terms.
Although this disorder is common throughout the
world, most people ignore the symptoms due to lack of awareness and when the
disease becomes chronic and complicated, orthopedic specialists are consulted,
but until then, treatment is not available. It becomes a difficult matter.
However, due to timely diagnosis and prompt treatment, the severity of the
disease can be reduced.
Also, the chances of complications are eliminated.
This is the reason why Arthritis and Rheumatism International organized the
"World Arthritis Day" on October 12 1996 to spread information about
arthritis worldwide, since then this day has been celebrated on the same date
every year.
This disease is also common in Pakistan, but the sad
fact is that no regular survey has been conducted to compile the annual data.
However, according to a conservative estimate, the
incidence of this disease is 3.6 to 4.6%, while 2,000 out of 100,000 children
suffer from arthritis every year. Now the question is, "What are the
causes of arthritis?" So in most cases, lack of exercise, consumption of
junk foods, and excess weight are the reasons. In addition, using a mobile
phone or computer for hours can also be the cause, so lack of sports also
weakens the joints.
Thus, there are many types of arthritis, but three
types are more common. Osteoarthritis (Osteoarthritis), Rheumatoid Arthritis
(Rheumatoid Arthritis) and Juvenile Arthritis (Juvenile Arthritis). Arthritis
in these three types is more severe in nature. Be clear. The two types of
arthritis are rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile arthritis, while osteoarthritis
affects people over the age of 50, rheumatoid arthritis can strike at any age,
even children.
Symptoms also vary depending on the type of disease,
however, early symptoms usually include joint pain, pain that worsens with
walking and sitting on the ground. Arthritis is most common in the knees and is
followed by Effects on hip and ankle joints. Hand joints are usually more
affected by arthritis. To reduce the severity of the disease, stress on the
joints should be reduced, and sitting down should be avoided.
X-rays are recommended for the diagnosis of the
disease, through which bone and joint problems can be easily seen, while blood
tests are recommended for the diagnosis of arthritis. Modern treatments for
arthritis include medication, exercise or Physiotherapy, and specific
fat-enhancing injections within the joint. However, currently hip or knee
replacement surgery is the definitive treatment.
Also, "stem cell therapy" is an effective
and very expensive treatment method, but currently, this facility is not
available here. Apart from this, there is also a treatment method called PRP,
in which the patient's own blood is used.
We have many common assumptions about arthritis.
Like saying that 100% control of the disease is possible in the early stage, it
is not true.
However, the disease can be prevented from
developing further by eating a balanced diet and controlling weight in the
early stages. When it comes to the complications of arthritis, the most
dangerous complication is the complete jamming of the joint and disability. We
