Arthritis causes pain within the joints of the human body due to inflammation and is the term used to refer to over 100 rheumatic diseases that cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints, muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and internal organs. The two most common forms of the debilitating disease are: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid. Arthritis cures are few and far between, as there has been nothing developed to actually stop the effects of the painful ailment. Most aid is in the area of pain relief and management. Pain is the number one concern for people with the disease which is distinguished by impeccable pain that shoots through a person's joints. Pain is the body's way of telling a person something is wrong. The ultimate result of long term suffering with this problem is that the tissue/fluid between the joints whithers away causing the joints to rub against one another and result in additional constant pain.
There are two forms of pain classifications: acute and chronic. Acute pain is temporary, such as that resulting from a cut, bruise, or fracture. The aspect of chronic is that it is consistent and long term. Arthritis causes chronic pain, which can be mild to severe and can last a lifetime. More than 40 million Americans suffer with some form of this joint disease and have chronic pain that interferes with their daily activities. Osteoarthritis is the most common type affecting 16 million in the USA, and the rheumatoid type, which is the most crippling form of the disease, affects 2.1 million in the USA alone. Temporary arthritis cures for pain have been discovered, or at least management, but many sufferers will have to learn to live with the pain for the rest of their lives.
The amount of pain perceived in each case varies from person to person, and with arthritis cures being unknown, each person must learn to manage their own pain and discover which actions, or environmental reactions cause the most pain and eliminate them. Variables that increase the adverse reactions can include: depression, anxiety, and hypersensitivity. There are a variety of methods for short term pain relief including taking medication. Typically over the counter medication such as acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen are helpful. Placing hot and cold packs on the area of inflammation may help. These methods include a warm bath or shower, dry heat (heating pad), or an ice pack (those with poor circulation should not use ice packs).
Joint protections can be considered moderate relief for pain by using a splint or brace to allow joints rest and to protect them from injury. A physical therapist or physician can make recommendations as to which arthritis causes resulting in pain would benefit by the use of a splint or brace. Receiving regular massages by a certified massage therapist is also an option. A massage therapist will lightly stroke or knead the painful muscle which will increase blood flow and bring warmth to the stressed area. Another viable alternative option to try is to research the possibility of acupuncture.
Acupuncture should only be done by a licensed acupuncture therapist. Acupuncture is performed by inserting tiny needles into the skin at specific points on the body. These needles in their specific points stimulate the release of natural, pain-relieving chemicals produced by the brain or the nervous system. This Oriental method has been around since ancient times as a way to relieve the symptoms of many ailments as well as to aid in weight loss and can also help a person to quit smoking cigarettes. However, the method does not work for everyone, but it should be considered if other methods of relief should fail. Keep in mind that these arthritis cures are for the temporary relief of pain only, usually reserved for those whose pain falls under the "acute" category. Long term pain care management for those sufferers of the chronic pain associated with various arthritis causes should use additional approaches if the short term pain methods don't work.
Long term arthritis cures for pain relief include medications such as NSAID's which stands for "non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs". This class of drugs includes aspirin and ibuprofen. When NSAID's don't work, DMARD's are used. This stands for "disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs". They include methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, penicillamine, and gold injections. They are assumed to correct abnormalities of the immune system. Careful monitoring of the administration of these drugs is mandatory by a physician. Corticosteroids are hormones, very effective, and are taken by mouth or injected. These should only be used once or twice a year as frequent injections can cause damage to the cartilage. Checking with a doctor before beginning any treatments for the pain that arthritis causes are responsible for should be recommended and carefully monitored by a physician. Of course prayer should be the first line of defense. "For He hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard." (Psalm 22:24)
