Arthritis is a painful condition of the joints that
affects men and women, young and old, and in millions
across the world. There is a misconception about arthritis,
and it is that only the aged are affected by this
disease. Well the truth is that, almost anyone can
become a victim, even babies have been known to suffer
from arthritis. And the disease is nothing new, arthritis
has claimed its victims for ages, even centuries back
there were records of kings and their followers complaining
of pain in the joints. Though the disease was not
understood properly at that time, but now with increased
medical and scientific research on the subject, we
today have a better understanding. Arthritis comes
from the Greek words ‘arthro’ which means
joint and ‘itis’, meaning inflammation.
Another common misconception about arthritis is that
‘it is a single disease’. In reality,
that is far from the truth. Arthritis is actually
a combination of 100 plus health issues, and all this
come together to have an impact on the musculoskeletal
system. And the affected areas are the muscle, the
tendons, the cartilage and the bones, particularly
the ones in the joints.

Though it is true that even younger people suffer
from the disease, but even then, on closer observation
and analysis it is seen that the probability of someone
being affected increases manifold with age. This happens
due to the normal wear and tear the human body goes
through in a lifetime. With age, the natural immunity
too goes down and this also complicates the issue.
Apart from age, other connections have also been
established. For example it has been seen that more
women tend to get affected with the pain than their
male counterparts. Also those who are carrying extra
pounds (obese) also tend to suffer more. This is because
the extra fat in the body puts more pressure on the
muscles, tendons and the bones in the joints.
To begin with, there would be swelling in the affected
joints of the knees, elbows, hands and other parts
of the body as well. Then there is the pain that can
become really acute and severely affect the movements
of the individual. So much so that the person may
not be able to even move about within the house (like
going to the loo and taking a shower), let alone going
to work. The situation can become agonizing because
when due to mobility loss, the person starts to sit
at a place for long, this can too intensify the pain
because sitting for long is also not good. On the
other hand, walking along or physical activity too
causes pain. This is why arthritis can be so frustrating.
When suffering from arthritis, it is necessary to
seek immediate medical help, because a delay can lead
to complications. Actually, arthritis is the leading
cause of disability in seniors. When someone visits
a physician, he will first suggest an x-ray to closely
examine the affected area and analyze the damage done,
before subscribing a remedy.
