A recent study has revealed the most effective approach to managing joint pain otherwise know as Arthritis.

As a Pharmacist with so much interest in geriatric health, I wish to share with you some of my important findings about joint pains(Arthritis).

Arthritis is simply joint inflammation leading to pain and stiffness that can worsen with age.

There are over 100 types of Arthritis but the most common ones are

• Osteoarthritis: wears and tears that happen when your joints are overused.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis: an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks part of the body, especially the joints.
• Psoriatic Arthritis: Occur when the skin together with the joints are inflammed.
• Gout: Caused by buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints.
• Lupus: An autoimmune disease affecting joints and many organs of the body. It can lead to joint, organ and brain damage.

The most common of them all is Osteoarthritis.
• Caused by tears and wears in the joints leading to the loss of articular cartilage in the hands,knees,hips, cervical and lumbar spine and causes significant pain and functional disability.

Cartilage is like a cushion in the joints that prevents two bones from grinding and sliding directly over each other.
It occurs primarily in the weight bearing joints of the body such as the knees,hips,feet and spine.
Hence, more people have knee OA followed by hip OA & hand OA

Some common treatment include the use of Acetaminophen, NSAIDS, topical agents, intra-articular glucocorticoid injections as well as viscosupplementation and DMARDS.
However, the effects are very transient and leads to significant adverse effects upon prolonged usage.

Life style modifications are highly encouraged.
Weight loss and moderate amount of activity improves symptoms. Regular exercise is also encouraged.
