Arthritis is a progressive joint disease in which the slow destruction of cartilage. If it is not treated, the mobility in the final joint will eventually decrease sharply and that person is disabled. The article reviews what is muscle disease, symptoms and its treatment, specific signs and causes.

What you need to know about this diseaseThe destruction of distirophic of joints and cartilage is the most common joint disease across the planet. Statistical data is excellent: four of the global five people suffer at one level or the other level from the lesions of the joint tissue and all the consequences of such a pathological process.

The disease is often found in men and women. For a long time, it is believed that arthritis is a disease of joints in the elderly. But recently, the joints began to be affected by people under 30 years old.

Such arthritis is very dangerous, because it can quickly lead to the development of immobile in one person. Unfortunately, every year the number of degenerative joint changes increases.

What is the difference between arthritis and arthritis? With arthritis, inflammation of the intracranial tissue occurs. But for muscle disease, a person who is deformed progresses to the musculoskeletal system.

Why does it arise?The main cause of muscle disease is to violate metabolism in joints. Because of this, cartilage gradually loses elasticity. The cause of this disease is:

pronunciation disorders of metabolism; hormone imbalance; Reducing joint blood volume; rheumatoid arthritis; psoriasis; Increase physical activity on joints (including athletes), so they begin to collapse, and this happens at relatively early age. The appearance of arthritis and its further progression can affect those factors;

Injury (more injury and worse, higher levels of development of pathology); Increasing body weight (it leads to excessive loads on the joints and therefore, even faster growing than the disease); Pus arthritis; Age (in elderly patients, the disease occurs much more often); The poor, unbalanced diet; Lower body heat often; penetrate infection into joints; Some autoimmune diseases; General poisoning of the body, including alcohol and nicotine; Specific infectious diseases - such as syphilis, gonorrhea, tuberculosis; Some pathological states of the thyroid gland; Hemophilia; Pertes syndrome. Typical featuresThe clearest and most characteristic sign of muscle disease is pain. It reduces if the affected agency is resting and strengthening if it is under intensive load. We learn everything about muscle disease, more about these signs, because in some cases, they are the first to register for the development of bone and cartilage damage.

PainIf the joints start to get sick, this is the first sign for his failure. Exciting feeling is enhanced if a person performs sharp movements. The localization of pain symptoms of arthritis - only in pain. But in some cases, it can also be applied to other parts of the musculoskeletal system, not affected by the pathological process.

That is the characteristics that at night, a person almost did not experience pain. If he finds the optimal position of the body, he will calmly sleep. Closer in the morning, they are activated, forcing a person to wake up. In the end of the pathology, the pain became so serious that it deprived a peace.

Crystals in jointsThis is a special symptom of degenerative lesions: Due to the fact that the elasticity of the organs is reduced, the bone begins to rub with each other, accompanied by a typical sound. Sometimes it can hear it at a distance.

The sound will be brighter, the more positive, the disease progresses. And in all cases, he will differ significantly compared to the crackling.

Mobile calculation limitIn the initial stage of the development of pathology, the volume of the operating movements is conserved. But if Arthrosis progresses, the bone formation begins to germinate into cartilage tissue, which is why muscle spasms occur. The positive movements from this are violated, because the mobility of the joint is guaranteed by a cartilage that is sufficient to develop.

The reduction of movement also comes from the fact that the body cannot cope with conventional loads. That is why at the end of the development of this pathology, the movement is almost impossible.

DeformationThis symptom appears from the fact that the growth appears on the surface of the bone and cartilage. Due to continuous irritation, the production of activated fluid is activated, which is why the organ is swollen.

Important! Deformation is one of the late symptoms of arthritis. The joint has been affected by the disease to a large extent and often treated for conservation does not bring results.

The stages of the diseaseIn total, doctors in classifying the severity of the four stages of discrimination (degree) of muscle disease.

At 1 degree, no osteoporosis is detected in diagnosis. There are some narrowing the general gap. With damage to level 2 joints, the slightly narrowed distance and bone cells have tried to touch the surface of the bone. With acute arthritis, very severe pain is observed. With damage at level 3, the distance is significantly narrowed and on the bone surface, there are a large number of bone cells. With serious, rising temperature. The 4th stage of arthritis and joint disease is characterized by the fact that there is no joint distance, and the compartment is almost completely affected. Depending on the type and position of damage to the joints of the disease:

Osteoarthrosis is a degenerative dystrophic disease of a movement device that supports cartilage damage; Many degenerative damage to joints; Talking damaged bones; Failure of the shoulder joint; Coksartrosis is a knee arthritis; Reaction arthritis is damage to joints after an infectious disease; wandering - transient arthritis; Ankle joint damage, wrist joint; Degenerative disease of the hand. What is the danger of arthritisWithout desired treatment, this disease is many dangerous complications:

completely destroying the agency; significant deformation; damage to peripheral joints; It is almost absolutely unable to implement any movement that threatens the development of defects; Violation of spine, the development of Intervertebral hernia in it; The significant decrease in the quality of life of the patient. Diagnostic methodDiagnosis of joint diseases includes:

general examination; Touching; A process that allows you to diagnose the volume and amplitude of the movements performed; Blood test (generally and biochemical); Urine analysis; X -ray joint; research a section of cartilage tissue under a microscope; Supersonic; MRI. How to handle jointsIt is necessary to start treating muscle disease as soon as possible - this is the only way to suspend the development of the disease and prevent the complete determination of the patient. The main task of doctors and patients is to eliminate the causes of destruction, eliminating inflammatory and painful processes. Remember that it is impossible to completely restore the joints, but the treatment can improve its condition.

The principles of treatment are as follows:

Excessive load removal; Medical equipment classes in muscle disease; Prescription physical therapy; The purpose of walking on the knee; Spa treatment; Oxygen therapy; Drug treatment; Optimize diet. Such drugs are prescribed from drugs to treat arthritis.

Anti -inflammatory drugs are not caused by no. With their help, you can effectively relieve pain, reduce the intensity of inflammatory processes. Moreover, the prescription of ointment will be the most effective - they eliminate damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa. Corticosteroids reduce inflammatory and painful phenomena in the process of the process. Internal drug management is displayed (such a procedure is only implemented in clinic conditions). Such products can be used for rheumatism. Arthrosis tablets help restore cartilage fabric of joints. Such funds must be used until significantly improved and increased the mass of the common motion. It has been shown to use all drugs based on hyaluronic acid. The use of these drugs is usually shown in the treatment of knee arthritis. For muscle disease, the use of other vehicles is specified. Improving after starting treatment with such drugs does not occur earlier, because in a month, provided that the drug is continuously applied. Effective treatment for these drugs is possible if the patient adheres to all the prescriptions of the doctor and above all is losing weight. With very serious pain, the doctor may prescribe an analgesic drug of addictive substances. However, their use is limited due to the risk of complications.

Treatment matches folk remedies that can be used as an auxiliary treatment. Moreover, the doctor chooses the most effective tool for each patient. An important place in such therapy is occupied by appropriate nutrition.

Pay attention! Cure joint diseases, including arthritis of the knee joint is absolutely impossible. With the help of effective treatment, it is possible to suspend the destruction of tissues and prevent the patient's determination.

Nutrition and ArthrosisWith the chronic destruction of articular cartilage, it is necessary to pay much attention to the appropriate nutrition. The authority is strictly prohibited, because the excess body weight can cause additional destruction of the joint. To lose weight, powder products must be excluded from the diet, sweet. It is banned from drinking alcoholic beverages and mainly beer.

But fish should be on the table with arthritis every day. It is best if it is low -fat. Especially useful in destroying clogged joints. It contains a large amount of collagen health. It is absorbed very quickly by the body and adds cartilage tissue shortage. The regular use of delicious and healthy dishes makes mobile joints, and cartilage makes it elastic.

Daily menu should have many products and dishes containing vitamin B6 - pyridoxine. It is found in beans, nuts, potatoes, green vegetables. It is very useful to eat eggs, liver, dairy products - they are rich in riboflavin.

Prevention of muscle diseaseThe methods to prevent this disease are as follows:

Normalization of motor activity, eliminating hypoglycemia; A career with only sports that do not require excessive load (physical exercise and rhythm will be very useful for such a person); avoid heavy physical labor, leading to destruction of joints; Preventing too much, fighting overweight in all available and harmless ways; eliminate all bad habits; Walking regularly in fresh air; Swimming; Eliminate stressful situations. Arthrosis is much easier to warn it than later. At the first appearance of the pain in the joints, crisis and limitations of the doctor, you must immediately go to the doctor to check the joints. The timely start of treatment will prevent the development of complications. Anticipation is dangerous because someone may be disabled for him.
