Management of rheumatoid arthritis can be challenging, but there are measures to take and such a task is possible one day at a time. The pain is a hard subject to broach because of when the patient ends up getting it. Before dealing with the disease, it is important to understand how the condition all starts. Pain can only be handled if one is aware of where it first came from. The first thing to know is that anyone of any age can get rheumatoid arthritis. However, there are two very specific types. The first type is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This is most likely going to occur when the patient is nearing their thirteenth birthday. A person past seventeen is not likely to ever have to deal with management of rheumatoid arthritis. However, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis can be a very scary disease for a young teenager. The condition starts out looking like a lot of pain running up and down their body. Many times this disease can easily be mistaken for influenza. In fact, if a teenager is really involved in sports and very driven, they may push through the pain for a while and pretend like nothing is going on. Eventually the pain will overtake their body and a doctor will need to be seen.
Once the teenager has seen a doctor, he will give ideas of management of rheumatoid arthritis. The problem with the juvenile version is that it is a very severe disease. The teenager will more than likely be taken out of sports because his energy needs to be focused entirely on management of rheumatoid arthritis pain. However, there is some good news; management is possible. In fact with modern day technology, doctors are doing more and more for treatment. The teenager will have to work with physical therapists in order to learn to walk again. This may be a hard thing to watch happen, but parents can be there. In fact, parents will need to be there to help the child get through this. Having a disease as a child is not an easy thing to have to deal with. When having to worry about management of rheumatoid arthritis among everything else, being a kid gets put on the back burner. The teenager will see their joints and hands start to change. Their fingers may curl up in a way that they don't understand. Parents need to be there to help their children get through.
Adults also have to deal with the management of rheumatoid arthritis pain. This will occur later on in life. When dealing with managing the pain, sufferers must face the fact that joints which were so used to activity will not work as well anymore. Patients will find everyday things difficult to do. But management of rheumatoid arthritis pain as an adult is definitely possible. Sufferers will find managing it possible by taking medication. However, those who don't like the idea of taking medication can also concentrate on having a healthy diet. Many times sufferers will find that a healthy diet will indeed keep joints looser and allow a difference in the feeling and overall health of the body. Patients can also go to the doctor and have him prescribe medication. Sufferers should be careful of the side effects that may come along with medications for this disease. Patients should pay attention to this and ask questions to the doctor so that they are completely aware of the ramifications.
Finally, the most important thing is how the sufferer is mentally. If they mentally give up on management of rheumatoid arthritis pain, then living freely has already stopped. Sufferers need to focus on what they are still able to do and should try to take walks. This will help greatly. Patients need to get their body moving so that it does not succumb to the disease. It is good to try to push through the pain. Patients need to focus on a specific exercise program that they want to do everyday. If sufferers cannot come up with one, they can simply focus on going for a 15 minute walk every day. This should be possible even if its painful. It's best to do this so that the body can be kept in check and working order for days to come. Patients can even move up the walking to 30 minutes if it's possible. Overall, though, the best medicine for this disease is prayer and faith in the Lord. "Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side" (Psalm 71:21). Support groups can also be beneficial. Patients can find such groups through doctor's clinics, church and social services organizations. Those who turn to God for comfort and allow family and friends to give support will find the disease more bearable.
