Not surprisingly, there are nearly as many arthritis pain relief methods as there are types of arthritis. Incredibly, a keyword search indicates that there are greater than 100 distinct conditions. Having such a large number of conditions and symptoms creates a major diagnosis and treatment dilemma for the medical professionals charged with treating the disease. Many of the disease conditions involve inflammation. On the other hand, some have no inflammation at all and wouldn't even be recognized as an arthritic condition by most people. Almost all types can be incredibly painful. Some are even debilitating. So any discussion about arthritis pain relief should begin with a review of the disease itself and some of the different conditions and symptoms. First, when an injury or infection occurs the body uses chemicals and white blood cells to help repair the body. Fluids gather around the affected area and inflammation is one of the results. But the system doesn't always work the way it was designed. Chemicals that should be fighting the injury or infection sometimes attack the body instead, which causes damage to joints.
Without a doubt this disease is a painful affliction and a life-long tribulation for some people and effective arthritis pain relief is highly desired. Nothing is more trying than constant pain and suffering with no end in sight. One of the greatest virtues a person can posses in this case is patience or tolerance. The Bible uses the word affliction or tribulation often. Affliction is usually used in a manner that urges people to focus on a power outside themselves and to not lose faith in God or love for others. "Let love be without dissumulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned on to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer." (Romans 12: 9-12) The final verse of this passage is important. People afflicted with any type of arthritis will not get rid of the disease. Doctors, science and technology can control the pain and suffering, but have yet to find cures. Therefore, having patience and continuing to pray is an important part of therapy.
Unfortunately, treatments that provide arthritis pain relief alone and do not stop the inflammation process will not prevent further damage to the joints from happening. Listing every single condition would be impossible in such a short article, so a few of the more common types will be briefly described. According to an online source, the most common type is Rheumatoid. Although Rheumatoid is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis, it reportedly affects only one percent of the American population. Because Rheumatoid does most damage within the first year of onset early diagnosis and treatment is imperative. Researchers believe this form of disease is capable of reducing life expectancy by nearly twenty years. Fibromyalgia has been getting increased attention over the past few years. Many people may not know that it is a form of arthritis that affects soft tissue. Lyme disease is associated with a deer tick bite. And rightfully so because that's how the disease is transmitted. If the disease is diagnosed early, antibiotics are effective.
Gout targets the joints and kidneys. Basically, what happens is that monosodium urate crystals get deposited in these areas. This happens because the body can't get rid of uric acid. According to health care professionals, diet changes and taking medications are effective therapy in combating Gout. The list of afflictions goes on and on. For details about specific types of arthritis and treatments consult a physician or perform an online keyword search. All treatment programs have the same primary goals. First is arthritis pain relief. At the same time, inflammation must be stopped to halt the spread of damage to the body. Controlling the potential side effects of the therapy program is also important. Education is a prime concern, too. Patients who have been educated about the disease and available treatments are more able to adjust lifestyles to combat the problem. Treatments will hopefully prevent disability and increase a person's quality of life. Medicines and lifestyle changes usually combined for an effective arthritis pain relief program. Doctors have numerous types of medicines at their disposal.
Following are a few of the medicinal types that are commonly used for arthritis pain relief. The list is a very basic overview. Consult a drug reference, doctor, or pharmacist for more details. Biologics are use to combat Rheumatoid arthritis. Basically, they work on the immune system. Anti-inflammatory drugs are useful medications, but they do not work for every patient, and they reportedly have many side effects. Glucocorticoids are basically anti-inflammatory steroids. Gout has a specific group of medicines. Again, this is a very condensed list of arthritis pain relief treatments. Treatment programs are designed and tailored to specific individuals. A program that works for one person probably won't work exactly the same way for another. Discuss medications with a doctor or health professional. Know what is being prescribed and why one particular drug is better than another. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Many of the drugs have side effects. And some of them are potentially dangerous, if allowed to progress. Despite the differences in arthritis symptoms, at least two principles apply to everyone being treated for the disease. First, take the medication exactly as prescribed. Second, don't stop taking the medication without consulting with a physician.
