The Painful Truth About Arthritis

We often hear the word ‘arthritis’ from our elders when they complain about their knees hurting. It has also become a general term for a lot of people when complaining about leg pains. At times, people use it jokingly to refer to when their knees and legs hurt from walking, standing, or running for long periods of time. 

Arthritis is often defined as the joints’ inflammations. The joint is a crucial part of the body in between two bones. It can affect one or more joints in your body. It is very common and can happen to people of various races, ages, or genders. However, it is most common in adults of 65 years of age and older. It also occurs more in women and overweight individuals.  

What Are Its Symptoms?

The most common symptoms are pain in the joints, swelling, and stiffness and these three may cause a decrease in movement. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may worsen as more time goes by that it remains untreated. 

What Are The Different Types?

There are beyond 100 types identified. Unlike the common notion that it only occurs to the knees, it also happens to other parts of the body like the hands. It all depends on the kind.

1. Osteoarthritis - This occurs when the cartilage wears away and your connecting bones rub against each other and can cause pain. 
2. Rheumatoid Arthritis - This occurs when the immune system goes awry and attacks your joints, causing uncontrolled inflammation. 
3. Metabolic Arthritis - This occurs when excess uric acid builds up and causes severe joint pain. 

You might now find that you are experiencing these kinds of pain in your joints and have a difficult time moving. In any case that you do, it is important to go to a doctor to have your blood, urine, or X-ray tested. It is also important to start living healthy by exercising, resting, and eating just right. There are also supplements that may help you lessen the possibility and worsening of arthritis. There are also a range of herbal medicines that have substances which can help relieve pain and inflammation in the body. 

Here are some of those:
