Joint diseases refer to a wide range of ailments that affect the joints, which are the places where two or more bones meet. These disorders can impede movement, cause pain, and have a substantial impact on quality of life. Common joint illnesses are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, and ankylosing spondylitis.
Osteoarthritis, which is commonly associated with ageing, is caused by wear and tear on joint cartilage, resulting in pain and stiffness. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation and joint degeneration. Gout is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints, which most commonly affects the big toe. Lupus, another autoimmune illness, can affect many joints as well as other organs. Ankylosing spondylitis primarily affects the spine, causing chronic pain and stiffness.
Joint illnesses cause a variety of symptoms, including swelling, redness, stiffness, and limited range of motion. Genetics, age, weight, injuries, and autoimmune reactions all contribute to an increased risk.
Pain management, inflammatory reduction, and joint function maintenance are often the primary goals of treatment. This may include pharmaceuticals such as NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), as well as physical therapy or, in extreme cases, surgery.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and weight management, is essential for effectively preventing and managing joint problems.
