One of the most common reasons why people seek medical attention are pain and joints. There are probably no people who were not affected by these problems, and with age, unfortunately, back pain and joints reminds itself more versatile.
One of the most common diseases of the muscular and bone system is arthrosis. It's about him to tell you in this article.
Arthrosis is a chronic articulated disease of degenerative-dystrophilic in nature, in which articulated cartilage appears, shared capsules, gradually. The bony tissue, which is directly under porous cartilage, is unevenly thickened, compensates for loads, ie the joint deformation occurs.
In addition, this disease is called: osteoarthrosis deforming arthrosis or arthritis, because in the beginning, the cartilage tissue occurs to the inflammatory process in the joint.
What is the difference between arthritis from arthrosis
These two diseases are often confused among them because of the harmony of the name and due to the fact that both arthrosis and arthritis affect the joints. Meanwhile, these are different diseases and, which is very important, treated in different ways.
The arthrosis is most often developed in the age (from 45 years and up), the gradual deformations of the common deformation gradually takes place.
Arthritis, on the contrary, starts in a young age more often (up to 40). Of course, there are exceptions, for example, after a cold or flu in an older person, arthritis can develop or reverse - in young athletes against the background of physical overload, knee arthrosis.
2% of the world's population suffers from various arthritis, and often young people. About 10% of our planet suffers from arthrosis, and if young arthrosis affects relatively rarely, and then in the age of the number of patients with arthrosis increases several times. In the age group of 50-year-olds, each third person has these or other phenomena, and each other or the other is among the 70-year arthrosis.
If only the joints suffer from arthrosis, and the whole body is not included in the pathological process, and the entire body is included in the inflammatory process, if no adequate treatment is carried out, complications of some arthritis may represent a serious threat to the patient's life.
With arthritis, joint inflammation is usually manifested by their redness, swelling, heavy pain that must not rest, and sometimes in the opposite intensification at night.
In addition to arthrosis, pain is manifested mainly only when moving or physical effort, while perhaps not very strong (especially at the beginning of the disease). That is why people often run the disease. In the second phase, the pain is manifested in a treasure charge, and in the third - even at rest. However, unlike arthritis, it can be lubricated if the patient manages to take a suitable position.
In addition to arthrosis, in the area of the affected joint appears a rough dry crumbly that happens as a result of destroying a destroyed cardboard layer and friction bone. The further destruction of the common progress, stronger crumb becomes.
With arthrosis, the amplitude of movement in affected joints decreases, while arthritis characterizes stiffness throughout the body or in the wrist.
The inflammation of the joints in arthritis is most often due to infection or failure in the activity of the immune system (autoimmune process), less often arthritis indicates a general metabolic disorder.
Types of arthrosis
Arthrosis is a whole group of common diseases that have different origins, but close development mechanisms. Most often, arthrosis affects large joints.
In terms of localization, several types of arthrosis are: gonartrosis - Deformation of osteoarthrosis of common knee, coxartrosis - Deformation of osteoarthrosis Hook joints, Deformation of shoulder shoulder.
The arthrosis of small joints is less common, usually older people suffer from them.
The arthrosis of the feet joint occurs often.
Spondillart - Arthrosis of the spine joint (often met the spine disease).
Symptoms of arthrosis
The main clinical symptoms of arthrosis are pain in the common and reduction of its mobility. Specific symptoms and their seriousness are determined by the arthrosis phase and depend on the degree of destructive changes in the common.
Causes of arthrosis
- Joint and bone injuries, microtamation of common tissue with excessive load on production or during sports, obesity, mechanical joint damage during operation, and even with breach of holding or straight feet.
- Genetic disorders in the crispy wrist tissue, leading to his accelerated destruction. These can be inherited indigenous shortcomings of the muscle-bone system: dysplasia, hipmobile joints, straight feet or other shortcomings that are the cause of certain parts of the cartilage tissue and, as a result, lead to arthrosis development. For example: Deforming osteoarthrosis of mutual joints of the upper extremities is usually found in women and is inherited by a maternal line.
- Autoimmune diseases (psoriasis, gout, rheumatoid arthrosis).
- Other common diseases (acute and chronic arthritis, bursitis, sinovitis and other inflammatory joint diseases of various etiologies can lead to osteoarthrosis development).
- Vascular diseases.
- Diseases caused by circulatory disorders in periarticular tissues lead to dystrophic changes in joint (varicose veins governing endatteratis, atherosclerosis of lower extremities, and even such a normal hypodynamy for all of us).
- Endocrile diseases, metabolic disorders, mineral deficiency, trace elements and vitamins causing the composition of cartilage, common fluid and boning tissue, which gradually leads to the violation of the process of renovation and destruction of the wrist.
How arthrosis is developed
Another arthrosis associated with the aging of the body is developing according to the next scheme. The process begins with circulatory disorders in peristeum capillaries, as a result that the nutritional nutrition is disturbed. It is gradually that the cartilage of thanja, loses the elasticity, appears cracks, the smoothness of the joint surfaces is lost, the amount of sinovia fluid is reduced, which ensures skating of articulated surfaces. As a result, pain and crumbs appear when moving. Over time, the width of the shared slot is declining, osteophytes (bone spike) are formed on the hinged surfaces. Finally, the wrist was deformed, the amplitude of his movements was reduced.
The development of this form of arthrosis occurs gradually, over several years.
Other forms of arthrosis can be developed in accordance with another mechanism (for example, post -traumatic arthrosis), but pathological changes in the joint will be similar.
Treatment of arthrosis
If you are diagnosed with arthritis or osteoarthritis, you have difficult treatment, but it is very important not to give up and not lose hope for a successful outcome.
In case of any joint pain, their function and other symptoms are damaged, you must contact the doctor. A specialist dealing with common problems is rheumatologist.
The main tasks of treatment are mitigation of pain, restoring affected articulated structures (mainly cartilage) and the motor function of the wrist. Success can only be achieved by timely early therapy. If you start treating arthrosis at an early stage, it is possible not only to suspend the development of the pathological process, but even partially renewed the destroyed cartilage.
If the cause of the disease is known, you must try to eliminate. If there is excess body weight, you have to lose weight. In the event of a breach of metabolism or hormonal background, you should direct the strength to its normalization. In case of problems due to workers or sports cargo - to change the sphere of activities, not abuse sports.
Choosing medications is a doctor's task, you should not prescribe them yourself. The most common combinations of the following drug groups are used to treat:
- Analgesics (analgesic);
- Hormonal and non-asteoid anti-inflammatory drugs;
- Protectors (food funds and return cartilage).
Solution The surplus weight is the most important connection in arthrosis therapy, because excess body weight increases the load at more painful compounds not only during the movement, but also at rest. In patients who could lose weight, the disease progresses much slower than those who failed. However, the medal has the other side. If you put the disease independently, weight loss is unlikely to be possible. When the wrist hurts very much, the performance even the simplest exercises turns into torture.
So you have to act in a few directions at once: try to cut weight, treat the basic disease and change your way of life.
Protectors
All patients with arthrosis are prescribed by funds from a group of treads that inhibit the destruction of cartilage and even return. The composition of such drugs includes glucosamine and sulfate (or their combinations) that help hydrating cartilage, increase its elasticity, improve nutrition and activate recovery processes in it. Such funds have an analgesic effect, but that effect develops a while after the beginning of the reception.
Treatment of folk drugs arthrosis
Since ancient times, national remedies have been successfully used in the treatment of arthrosis and arthritis. Their main task is the normalization of metabolism, encouraging regenerative cartilage processes, cleaning from toxins, eliminating inflammatory processes in joints and periastal tissues, eliminating pain in them. It means include:
Sables - relieves inflammation in the wrist, reduces pain and swelling in the joints.
Dandelion root - improves shared elasticity.
Iva kora contains lignin, tannins, gear with sliding, ascorbic acid, anthocyania, pectins.
