How Do I Know What Type Of Arthritis Pain I Have?
Arthritis causes pain and inflammation and can affect one or more joints at the same time. According to psychiatric studies, more than 50 million people have arthritis, which is the leading cause of disability nationwide.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is also common, although it is not easy to understand. People with arthritis often notice pain around the joints that worsens after prolonged sitting, standing or inactivity. The pain can increase when you move, for example, if you bend your knees. You may notice tingling sensations and movement in the affected joints, and your muscles may become painful to the touch. Arthritis can also cause pain during exercise, and the pain may go away if you stop doing so.
Rheumatoid arthritis develops as an autoimmune reaction, which means that the body’s immune system finds the joints threatening and decides to attack them. Researchers have suggested that your medical history, environment, and hormones may be involved in rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, women are usually affected by arthritis than men. Because it is an autoimmune disease, it is common for them to affect the same joints in different parts of the body.
At Trinity, rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Canada is aimed to reduce inflammation and pain. This often requires medication, occupational therapy or physiotherapy and exercise.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. This can cause a sudden joint injury or occur after the previous injury has healed completely. For example, let’s say you were a college footballer who experienced a harsh blow. You seek treatment, come back and keep playing. Even though the injury has improved, the bones or surrounding muscles have been damaged, support for the joints has decreased, or there has been a change in joint function. Therefore, it is still possible to develop arthritis caused by these injuries later in life.
The same is true for overuses or repetitive activities. For example, if you are a carpenter who uses a hammer to work for repetitive movements, you may have osteoarthritis in your elbows or hands. Losing excess weight can put you at risk for osteoarthritis due to increased pressure on your knees and hips.
Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage of joints is damaged due to age or overuse. This causes joint pain because the cartilage no longer moves like a thick cushion. Without a cushion, the bones collapse and cause an inflammatory reaction in the joint.
