Knee pain due to osteoarthritis
As the age increases, almost all people complain of knee pain. The main cause of this is a specific type of arthritis called osteoarthritis. On the surface of the knee bone, there is a tissue called cartilage which acts as a shock absorber (with shocks). Cartilage starts to erode with aging and the fluid found inside the joint (sinophieal fluid) starts decreasing. Bones are collapsed and rubbed by cartilage rub, the nose becomes and pain starts to occur. Additionally, tendons and ligaments connecting the joint capsule and bones are weakened. Due to pain, walking and drowsiness of the person decreases muscle weakening. For all these reasons, the stability of the stability of the joint is reduced and the patient has difficulty in getting up and sitting, climbing the ladder and sitting in the car.
Why osteoarthritis is: As the parts of each machine get worn on the old, in the same way, the addition of our body also increases the joints of our body. Osteoarthritis is more troubling if we are overweight. Osteoarthritis is faster even if knees are repeatedly injured. Apart from this, osteoarthritis is more common in certain diseases. Once the knee joint begins to weaken, then they have more damage than sitting, boiling, siding and sitting on stairs.
Osteoarthritis Diagnosis: In this disease, there may be pain in hands, waist, neck and hips besides knees. The pain of the knees grows by walking again and less than resting. Knees may be swollen. X-ray and MRI help in diagnosing illness.
Treatment: The main cause of osteoarthritis is because of joint junk, so whatever changes occur in it can not be cured. The main objectives of treatment are to reduce the pain and prevent disease from growing. Focus on the following:
1. Those who are overweight should lose weight. Overweight makes more knees more damaged
2 . Do not sit, do not sit, do not sit, and should be stairs lowered. Use of Western Commode (chair seats) for toilet and sitting on a stool or high posture to do bathing or worshiping.
3. To exercise normal exercise, jogging or running, cycling, swiming and lying or exercising by sitting is more beneficial.
4. Some special exercises benefit in osteoarthritis - (see in health videos, knee exercises)
(A) Sit straight and stretch the legs straight. Move the footpages forward. Together with both legs or in both legs, you can do this exercise alternately. Do this exercise at least 100 times a day.
(B) Lay legs and bicycle.
(C) If there is pain and swelling in your hands, then closing the fists tightly and opening the whole hand. Knees and hands are also beneficial.
(D) Physiotherapy can be done for a few days if there is more trouble.
On pain, light painkillers may take medication. Paracetamol is a very safe drug that can be taken two or three times a day. Paracetamol can take combination of tramadol when it is more painful. Fast painkiller medicines can be taken for a short while, due to severe pain or excessive swelling. Eating heavy medicines for pain can damage the heart and kidneys and cause stomach ulcers.
There is a possibility that some of the medicines may have done little to increase osteoarthritis. Those who have had osteoarthritis, may consult their doctor and take a trial of this type of drug.
Some people have a lot of benefit in pain by correcting the minor defects inside the arthroscopy (looking inside the joint by the telescope).
If the pain in the knees increases too much or the fear of falling due to decreasing stability of the joint, then the correct treatment is the replacement of knees (transplant, knee transplant). But before knee surgery it is necessary to lose weight and exercise that strengthens the muscles. Continuous exercise is necessary even after the operation.
Special: Some doctors use steroid medicines to reduce knee pain. Most of the practitioners of pain medicines, in their pockets, put sharp painkillers and steroids in the name of homegrown medicines. There is no role of steroid drugs in treating arthritis. This medicine initially reduces pain and swelling, but makes them accustomed and causes great harm in the long run.
If there is too much pain in the joint then injecting steroid inside the joint can reduce the pain immediately. But after some time the pain is likely to start again. Injecting in the joint also fears the infections. If knees are used more frequently after injection of pain (more stair climbing, boiling etc.) then there is a fear of being more prone to damage than joint.
