ARTHRITIS is a chronic condition that affects the joints, causing pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Here's a more detailed overview:
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a term that encompasses over 100 different conditions that affect the joints and surrounding tissues. It can cause inflammation, pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the affected joints.
Types of Arthritis:
1. Osteoarthritis (OA): The most common type of arthritis, OA is caused by wear and tear on the joints over time.
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): An autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and joint damage.
3. Psoriatic Arthritis: A type of arthritis that occurs in people with psoriasis, causing joint pain and inflammation.
4. Gout: A type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints.
Causes and Risk Factors:
1. Aging: The risk of developing arthritis increases with age.
2. Genetics: Family history can play a role in the development of certain types of arthritis.
3. Injury or Trauma: Joint injuries can increase the risk of developing arthritis.
4. Obesity: Excess weight can put additional stress on joints, increasing the risk of developing arthritis.
Symptoms:
1. Joint Pain: Pain and stiffness in the affected joints.
2. Swelling and Redness: Inflammation and swelling in the affected joints.
3. Limited Mobility: Reduced range of motion and flexibility in the affected joints.
4. Morning Stiffness: Stiffness and pain in the joints after periods of rest.
Treatment Options:
1. Medications: Pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
2. Lifestyle Changes: Exercise, weight management, and stress reduction.
3. Physical Therapy: Gentle exercises and stretches to improve joint mobility and strength.
4. Surgery: Joint replacement surgery or other surgical procedures to repair or replace damaged joints.
Management Strategies:
1. Stay Active: Regular exercise can help reduce pain and improve mobility.
2. Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight can put additional stress on joints.
3. Use Assistive Devices: Canes, walkers, or other devices can help reduce strain on joints.
4. Get Enough Sleep: Adequate rest can help reduce fatigue and pain.
