Bone joints are commonly known as old young arthritis, and many doctors will also say bone spurs, ah, hyperplasia, ah, degeneration, ah, effusion. All are some manifestation of this disease. Almost every elderly person, especially elderly women, will suffer from this disease. If you have elderly people around you, take a closer look. 1, the knee and hip joints are worn out after years of weight-bearing. The surface of the joints are covered with a layer of cartilage, and the joint cavity is lubricated with arthritis similar to lubricant. Cartilage and joint fluid can make the joint movement and its smooth and can withstand the impact. However, as we age, the ability of the cartilage to repair and regenerate continues to diminish and the joint lubricant becomes less and less available, at which point significant wear and tear of the joint cartilage occurs until the bone underneath the cartilage is exposed. This is called osteoarthritis (OA). This process is irreversible. 2. The first sign of osteoarthritis of the hip is stiffness in the groin or thigh. After exercise, you may feel soreness in your groin, thighs or half of your hips, especially early in the morning, with slight relief after activity. Early-stage osteoarthritis can be relieved by rest. 3. The first sign of osteoarthritis of the knee is joint pain and stiffness. Stiff and painful joints in the morning. You may find that your knee joint jerks and rattles when you walk. Going up and down stairs or squatting sometimes becomes difficult. 4. You can treat arthritis at home. First, give your joints enough rest when you are in pain. Second, take anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications (commonly used are Acomplia, Ciloxib, etc.) and drugs such as glucosamine (you need a doctor to confirm that the drug is safe for you to take); these measures can be effective in relieving mild to toxic pain. 5. Weight loss can reduce pain and stiffness. Being overweight can put a lot of extra stress on your knee and hip joints. If you can lose 5 kg of weight, your joint pain can be reduced by 20%. 6, exercise can improve joint conditions. Stay limber and stretch your limbs. Low-impact exercises such as swimming and cycling can stretch your joints and maintain their range of motion. Exercises for the muscles around the hip and knee (see my article: Step-by-Step Exercises for the Knee) can increase joint stability and durability, improve arthritis and prevent joint damage. 7. Osteoarthritis of the knee or hip joint makes walking difficult. If there is not enough cartilage covering the surface of the joint, the joint will be painful when walking. The joint will also become very wrinkled and it will be difficult to bend the knee and hip joints. In severe arthritis you will need a pair of crutches. 8. If not treated properly, arthritis can become more severe. If left untreated, the joint cartilage will continue to wear away until the joint has difficulty supporting daily life. In some severe cases, the bones in the joint rub directly against the bone, making it painful to walk or even rest. The joint will swell with the slightest movement. 9. Joint replacement can completely solve the pain. If rest, weight loss, and medication are not effective in reducing your joint pain, then it is time for you to have surgery. Surgery can replace the entire joint or part of it with an artificial component. After rehabilitation, the patient can walk easily without further pain. 10. Post-operative rehabilitation after joint replacement and its importance. Professional rehabilitation after surgery will allow the new joint and the muscles around your joint to be re-matched to achieve the proper range of motion and flexibility of the joint. Adherence to professional rehabilitation will result in better joint function and quality of life.
