Arthrosis is a disease that results in the cartilage destroyed inside the joint. Over time, with arthrosis, serious changes begin, which provokes the inflammatory process in the periarticular tissues. Arthrosis treatment is mandatory, otherwise the disease will spread to most of the mouth joints, which will cause disability.
The main signs of the disease
There are several symptoms of arthrosis. Walking, pain arises. But in the early stages, they show themselves very badly and very often perceive them as the fatigue of the feet. At the following stage, the pain is felt by physical effort. In the next step, the pain syndrome will be in a inpatient state. If there is a cardiovascular disease, then the pain is also felt with the weather.
- If there is dry crunch in the joints, then this is also a sign of arthrosis.
- Such crunch is due to the friction of the joints, which is and.
- In the next step, the crunch will become louder and rough.
- It should be reminded that the usual crunch of joints, accompanied by sonorous crispy, is not a symptom of the disease.
- One of the symptoms is the inaction of the joints.
- This is due to the growth of muscle spasms, growth on bones and spikes, as well as a joint gap reduction.
- At the same time, the joints affected by arthrosis have changed.
They are deformed due to growth and the development of spikes. Synovial fluid begins to swell, which catches from the inside to the joint. This growth is associated with irritation of the joint tissue and is called synovitis. Sometimes arthrosis is confused with arthritis, but these are completely different diseases. With arthritis, the pain will be in movement and most often during the day. And with arthrosis, the pain is more severe, severe, and not dependent on both the day and the movement. Often they can occur even in the immobilized condition.
What is the degree of arthrosis?
In the first stage, obvious symptoms cannot be found. It will be a slight pain. But the abnormal changes have already begun in the synovial shell. At the same time, the muscles are already weakened, but they still maintain their shape. In the second stage, the joints begin to break down and appear osteophytes (cones and growth). The pain becomes more pronounced, though they can be tolerant. Disruption of muscle functions begins.
- In the third stage, the deformations of the auxiliary sites of the joints begin and the axis of the limbs changes.
- The joint bag becomes rough, the ligaments are shorter.
- It causes severe pain and chronic inflammation.
- Normal connection points are deformed.
- The muscles are also affected as they begin to stretch, contract.
- Then these disorders apply to all joint tissue and its immobilization.
Causes
It is important to know the causes of arthrosis, as treatment methods depend on it.The appearance of the disease causes disruption of metabolism in the joints, causing cartilage to lose elasticity. If cartilage cracks are created, then there is a loss of proteoglycans. Doctors note that arthrosis in older people and the causes of cases are very close. At this age, pressure problems begin, with concomitant diseases (eg, psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis), and so on. Sh.
The main causes of arthrosis development are considered:
- Joint injuries;
- Impaired metabolism;
- Excess weight;
- Pulmonary arthritis;
- Poor nutrition;
- Hypothermia;
- Auto -imonious diseases;
- Intoxication;
- Tuberculosis;
- Sexually transmitted diseases;
- Hemophilia;
- Perte disease;
- Thyroid diseases.
Symptoms
Signs of arthrosis allow you to quickly name the disease at an early stage. Arthrosis, symptoms and treatment are interconnected, as the faster the patient starts to treat, the better. There are several specific features:
- Crushed. This is done by any movement, as the joint bones are rubbing each other due to the reduction of rotation. With arthrosis, this crunchy sounds very "dry", allowing you to distinguish this symptom from other diseases.
- Pain. Naturally, in this case, the patient feels severe pain. With arthrosis, the pain is accompanied by some characteristics. They are felt when making movements, and in a state of rest there are no unpleasant sensations. Pain during sleep with joint diseases can only appear with the progression of arthritis. These are painful sensations at different stages, allowing you to determine the stage of arthrosis. If arthrosis appears for a long time, the pain is almost constantly felt.
- Bad mobility of the joint. The more arthritis develops, the more arthritis loses its mobility. As a result, the disease can cause complete immobility of the joints.
- Joint deformation. It is manifested in the last stage of the disease.
No -Methods of the Narcoma
- A balanced diet, a healthy lifestyle. To prevent the progression of the disease, patients should clearly adhere to their work regimen and relax, eat healthy foods.
- Today there are special schools that include arthrosis treatment methods. Courses help the patient adapt to adapt and fight it successfully.
- Reduce joint load. If the body is overweight, it should be reduced - this will help to normalize metabolic processes and also reduce loading on the joints.
- Medical physical education is performed at a non -construction stage, which is performed on the back or sitting. Switching and skiing are very useful.
- Physiotherapeutic methods: Heat action on the affected area (eg, paraffin programs), laser therapy, ultrasound and electrical stimulation of the nerves.
- Use of different unloading devices. With the injury to the feet, it is recommended to walk with a cane, with knee joint arthrosis, with support wings - this is how it can reduce joint loading and therefore reduce the manifestations of the disease.
- Massage improves blood circulation and promotes the recovery of joint mobility.
- Patients with arthrosis show a spa resort leave, which has a favorable effect on both the condition of the articular system and the whole body. The sanatorium should be recovered at the exacerbation stage of arthrosis, after a doctor's examination and its recommendations.
Medication
Therapy with medicines is the main method of treatment. The choice of drugs for the treatment of arthrosis is not too large, all drugs used can be divided into two large groups:
- Symptomatic medications affect the manifestations of the disease (painkillers, non -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -anti -drugs -Nsaids, glucocorticosteroid hormones). When used, the pain and inflammation disappear in a short time, which improves the quality of life.
- Chondroprotectors - Products that restore damaged cartilage tissue and metabolic processes, due to activation of blood flow and stimulate the appearance of new cartilage cells.
Symptomatic agents are designed to eliminate the main manifestations of the disease and are first prescribed to patients. Chondroprotectors help stop the progression of the disease and should be taken for a long time.
The basic principles of removing pathology
Complex treatment of joint arthrosis, like any other negative process, follows 3 main goals:
- Impact on arthrosis -related causes;
- Elimination of negative abnormal processes that accompany arthrosis;
- Eliminate symptoms of arthrosis.
On this basis, the main areas of treatment include:
- Elimination of severe simultaneous diseases;
- Body weight adjustment;
- Improvement of articular cartilage nutrition;
- Inhibition of local inflammatory reactions and their effects - swelling of soft tissue and intra -cardiac accumulation of fluid;
- Anesthesia;
- Joint stabilization and extension of the volume of movements.
For this purpose, the following methods of treatment for arthrosis are used:
- Drug treatment;
- Physiotherapy;
- Massage;
- Medical gymnastics;
- Folk methods of treatment;
- Surgical intervention.
Treated by folk remedies
Among folk remedies, a large number of plants are used in the form of ointments, compresses, garbage, lotions, and some of them can be taken inside. The best effect is achieved by a combination of several plants that have a multifaceted effect - analgesic, anti -inflation, deconstrant, enhancement of blood circulation and improving tissue nutrition. Prior to the use of popular treatment, it is advisable to consult a physician for contraindications.
In the treatment of knee joint arthrosis, it best determined:
- Dandelion flowers (fresh and dried) - they can chew or impregnate them. The newly combined dandelion flowers are washed and eat 5-6 pieces daily. Also, you can pour a tablespoon of dry dandelions in a glass of boiling water and after cooling, drink a third of the cup three times a day. The flowers are also made of alcohol tincture - half a liter of dark bottles at the top is filled with dandelion, poured with vodka or alcohol. Sin in a dark place for a month, and then spin into the fist. The course of treatment is 1 month.
- An excellent root is used for many diseases, to relieve inflammation and pain. Making compresses from it is the easiest. To do this, hell, place it with a soaked napkin and tightly press on the fist. On top, the compression is covered with a wool cloth and left all night. Instead of grated mass, you can use plant juice. Compresses make it daily for 1 month.
- Aloe has many effects and can be successfully used for arthrosis. It removes pain, inflammation, swelling, stimulates the processes of recovery in the joint, enhances blood circulation and lymph flow. With severe manifestations of arthrosis, you can use skin leaves from the skin all night long. Also, garbage is made from aloe leaves - 10 large, fleshy leaves of aloe, scrap the meat grinder and sprinkle with the membrane. Mix the resulting juice from 1/2 cup of honey and 150 ml of red wine. Stir well, pour it into a dark bottle and apply daily for a month.
- Sales are used as tincture. For its preparation, half a literature bottle is full of grills from the top of the marsh dry grass and pour with vodka. After storing at room temperature, the tincture is filtered, the grass is contracted. Tincture is taken orally (20 drops 2 times a day) or used for compresses. The compression is placed in one joint at night and isolated with a wool cloth on top. Saberfish has anti -anti -action action, normalizes intracellular fluid composition and helps to restore cartilage plasticity.
- Compression of salt, dry mustard and sand warming. Mix all components, place it on a baking plate and heat. In a hot form, pour the mixture into the fabric bag and attach to the pain in place, hold it until cool. The procedure relieves pain well, enhances blood circulation and stimulates recovery processes, but during the acute period such compression is prohibited.
- Compresses from honey to salt are made with severe pain in the joint. To do this, mix 100 g of honey and a tablespoon of salt, place the mass on the fabric and apply on the leg all night. You should wrap it on top of the joint with a wool cloth.
Nourish
In the treatment of arthrosis, an important condition for rapid recovery is proper nutrition. Doctors prohibit excessive excessive so that the patient does not get an extra pound. After all, this is an extra load on the joints.
But hunger is prohibited as complete regeneration of cartilage tissue requires vitamins and trace elements. To reduce weight, you need to change the diet from it with the exception of fat and flour products.
It is also important to stop drinking alcohol and especially beer. Most doctors recommend using as much useless as possible. This is not surprising, as it contains a natural substance as a collagen that can improve cartilage elasticity and mobility. Be sure to pay attention to pyridoxin -containing products. These are bananas, potatoes, cabbage and nuts. With arthrosis, you should consume as many legumes and herbs as possible (they contain folic acid), as well as eggs, fungi, liver and dairy products (riboflavin is composed).
All the basic principles of a healthy diet in this disease are the following points:
- It is not recommended to eat heavy foods at night;
- You have to eat fractionally;
- Make sure you control your body weight;
- In the state of remission, after eating, it is necessary to take a small walk.
Arthrosis is a very common disease and is therefore very successful. The main thing is that this will consult a physician for the first manifestations of the disease and then may not be concerned about complications.
The prevention of arthrosis
Prevention of arthrosis due to age and professional overload is the fight against premature aging of the body by rational nutrition, sufficient physical activity and body hardening. It is also necessary to maximize professional harmful actions.
For the prevention of arthrosis, which occurs in the wake of injuries or any disease, timely adequate treatment of underlying diseases is necessary.
