Arthritis
Although arthritis is a very common illness, doctors can only treat the symptoms of the disease. Loosely speaking, the term arthritis can cover over 100 different ailments. But generally, arthritis is caused by wear or tear, or an auto-immune disorder that attacks a patient’s joints. It can affect any age, race, or gender; and is the main cause of disability in the United States.
The causes of arthritis are still being studied, but its effects are well understood. In certain types of arthritis, the body’s own immune system begins to break down joints and joint tissue. This brings joint pain and stiffness as well as decreased mobility. In contrast, osteoarthritis (bone) is the natural result of aging.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. Specifically, osteoarthritis is caused by normal wear and tear on the body’s joints. This type of arthritis usually strikes later in life, as years of wear begin to take their toll on the body’s joints. Symptoms usually appear gradually, and include pain, swelling, stiffness, deformed joints and loss of mobility. Osteoarthritis is almost always localized to specific areas of the body: the fingers, hips, foot, knee or back are common examples.
Treatment centers on reducing pain, increasing mobility and preventing further damage to the joints, if possible. Most medical professionals suggest exercise, mobility-enhancing devices and light pain-management therapy as needed.
Anyone may print a Tramadol discount card, Celebrex coupon or Voltaren coupon to save money on the costs of their prescriptions.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Specifically cause by an autoimmune disorder, RA is particularly debilitating. In addition to joint stiffness, pain, and immobility issues, rheumatoid arthritis can permanently deform joints and is irreversible. Its main symptoms are inflammation of joints, and often affect the hands, feet and knees. It is also known to have serious effects on the skin, heart, lungs, eyes and blood of patients. RA can only be diagnosed by a rheumatologist, and early detection is key to managing the symptoms of this life-long illness.
Patients can save up to 75% on the costs of their prescriptions by printing a free Prednisone coupon or Naproxen discount card.
More than 300,000 children and over 50 million adults suffer with some form of arthritis in the United States. Arthritis generally affects women more than men, but no one is immune; and there is no cure.
