Arthritis and joint pain are common health problems that can affect people of any age, especially older adults. Arthritis means inflammation of the joints, which can lead to pain, stiffness, swelling, and difficulty in movement. Common causes include age-related wear and tear, autoimmune conditions, previous injury, obesity, and vitamin deficiencies.
Common symptoms include joint pain, morning stiffness, swelling, reduced movement, cracking sounds, difficulty in walking, climbing stairs, or using hands for daily work. Knee pain, back pain, shoulder pain, and finger joint pain are frequently seen. Ignoring early symptoms may lead to worsening pain and reduced mobility.
Diagnosis depends on proper clinical examination along with tests such as X-ray, blood tests, Vitamin D, calcium levels, and other investigations when required. Early diagnosis helps in better management and prevents long-term joint damage.
Treatment includes medicines for pain relief, lifestyle changes, weight management, physiotherapy, exercises, supplements when needed, and treatment of the underlying cause. Self-medication should be avoided.
If you are suffering from arthritis, knee pain, back pain, stiffness, or any joint pain, visit Dr Pushpraj Anand at Shashi Health Clinic for proper care and best treatment.
