If you’ve experienced the relentless grip of arthritis, you understand the profound impact it can have on your daily life. The pain, worsening with age, can be debilitating, robbing you of the joy and freedom you once knew. But fear not, for within the realm of arthritis lies a wealth of knowledge and solutions waiting to be unveiled. In this blog, we will delve into the multitude of arthritis types, triggered by factors ranging from wear and tear to infections or underlying diseases. We’ll shine a light on the two most prevalent forms, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Hopefully, with the help of a few of our products, you will be able to conquer pain and embrace a life filled with possibilities once again.
Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis caused by the gradual wearing down of cartilage over time. It can affect various areas of the body, including the hands, hips, knees, joints, and neck. Common symptoms of osteoarthritis in the joints include tenderness, swelling, and stiffness. Look out for signs such as pain during or after movement, swelling, reduced flexibility, and tenderness. Osteoarthritis requires a medical diagnosis. Your doctor will take X-rays of your joints to look for bone damage and loss of joint space. In some cases, an MRI may be necessary to detect soft tissue damage in or around the joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis is another type of arthritis that occurs when the immune system attacks the tissues and joints, resulting in inflammation and long-lasting damage. In severe cases, it can even affect internal organs. Similar to osteoarthritis, a doctor diagnoses rheumatoid arthritis using X-rays, MRI, or ultrasound to determine the extent and severity of the disease.
