Arthritis: Not Just For The Senior Citizens
By Monch Bravante
There is a general misconception that is an age-related medical condition that afflicts only the senior citizens or the elderly. It may be true with osteoarthritis, the most common type of joint disorder that usually affects adults of both sexes in their middle age. But what most people don't understand is that there are other types or causes of arthritis.
Arthritis, also known as joint inflammation, is defined as an inflammation of one or more joints and involves the breakdown of cartilage resulting in pain, swelling, and limited movement.
Cartilage is responsible for protecting the joints and serves as a shock absorber when pressure is placed on the joint during walking or running. It allows for the smooth movement of our limbs. Without cartilage, the bones will rub together and can cause pain, swelling (inflammation), and stiffness. Doctors usually prescribe pain relief and anti-inflammatory drugs to help alleviate the pain.
Arthritis, or joint inflammation, can be due to the following causes:
·Broken Bones;
·Infections that are usually caused by bacteria or viruses;
·An autoimmune disease (the body attacks itself because the immune system believes a body part is foreign); and
·General “wear and tear” on joints.
Generally, as soon as the injury heals, the inflammation disappears. The infection is treated and the disease is cured. However, there are some injuries and diseases wherein the inflammation remains stubbornly and continuously causing pain that may lead to deformity. This condition is known as chronic arthritis.
People suffering from experience the following symptoms:
·Joint pain
·Joint swelling
·Stiffness, especially in the morning
·Warmth around a joint
·Redness of the skin around a joint
·Reduced ability to move the joint
Arthritis is a condition that can occur in men and women of all ages. Other types of include:
·Rheumatoid (in adults)
·Osteoarthritis ( middle age and above )
·Juvenile rheumatoid (in children)
·Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
·Gout
·Scleroderma
·Psoriatic
