Arthritis: Overview

Arthritis in India is common, but its not well understood. It is an informal way of referring to a joint pain. It is known to cause permanent changes in the joints.

Types, Causes & Signs and Symptoms of Arthritis

Normally there are two major types of arthritis and the causes attributed to it are as follows

  • Osteoarthritis- occurs due to the natural breakdown, of the cartilage tissue, which leads to injury or infection of the joints. The chances of contracting it are higher if one has a family history related to the disease
  • Rheumatoid- occurs when the immune system of the body attacks the tissues of the body. It leads to a scenario where destruction of cartilage  in the joint occurs. Though the precise cause of the immune system attacks has not been discovered.

The symptoms of arthritis gradually appear, but their emergence on a sudden basis cannot be ruled out as well. Arthritis in India review of patients is a testimony to this fact. However the most common symptoms are related to the joints.

Check out the Patient Testimonial, where the patient shares about their success stories from treatments through Joint Replacement Surgery Hospital India.

Hi, I am Mrs. Zarina Bahadur from Uzbekistan. I visited India to get surgery for arthritis through your surgery group. I was experiencing extreme pain and swelling in my right toe. After the initial checkup with my doctor, he diagnosed me with bog toe arthritis and asked me to undergo a surgery. He recommended me this surgery group in India. I send them my inquiry and received a call from them with the reply. They asked me for my medical reports and after discussing it with their experts, offered me some treatment plan. They also explained me about the entire procedure. After being convinced by them, I gave them my consent to fly down to India. I was very pleased with the clear information provided by the surgeon, before the surgery. He also reassured me on the day of operation. The nursing staff were courteous and very helpful. I was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Overall, my experience has been professional, efficient and caring.

Diagnosis & Treatments of Arthritis

The first step towards the successful treatment of arthritis is diagnosing it. The doctor will evaluate your symptoms; undertake a physical examination to check for the swollen joints. X rays can also be used to diagnosis Arthritis, typically revealing a loss in bone spurs or cartilage.

The treatment of Arthritis includes rest, occupational or physical therapy, exercise, drugs along with surgery to correct the damage. The treatments focus on relieving the pain, and stiffness. The key is to protect your joints and with the help of an occupational therapist you can find out ways to protect the joints.

Lifestyle Changes after Treatments of Arthritis in India

Lifestyle changes can also rally round to reduce arthritis to some extent

  • Exercise- it can increase the endurance and strength of the muscles around the joints, which can make you feel more comfortable.
  • Use cold and heat to relieve pain- both these mechanisms can help you reduce pain in the joints. Heat relieves stiffness and cold can relieve muscle pain
  • Losing weight- being obese increases the amount of stress on your weight bearing joints such as the hips and the knees. Even a small amount of weight loss can make wonders.

What is arthritis?

The word arthritis literally means joint inflammation (“arthr-” means joint; “-itis” means inflammation). It refers to more than 100 different diseases. These diseases usually affect the area in or around joints such as muscles and tendons. Some of these diseases can also affect other parts of the body, including the skin and internal organs. There are many types of arthritis. Most forms of arthritis are chronic which means they may last a lifetime.

Who gets arthritis?

Nearly 40 million Americans, or one in every seven people have arthritis. It affects people of all ages, but it most often comes on as a person gets older.

How does arthritis feel?

Arthritis usually causes stiffness, pain and fatigue. The severity varies from person to person and even from day to day. In some people only a few joints are affected and the impact may be small. In other people the entire body system may be affected. The joints of the body are the site of much of the action in arthritis. Many types of arthritis show signs of joint inflammation: swelling, stiffness, tenderness, redness or warmth. These joint symptoms may be accompanied by weight loss, fever or weakness.

 

When these symptoms last for more than two weeks, inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis may be the cause. Joint inflammation may also be caused by an infection, which can lead to septic arthritis. Degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis) is the most common type of arthritis; joint inflammation is not a prominent feature of this condition. While normal joints can support a vast amount of use, mechanical abnormalities of a joint make it susceptible to degeneration.

 

It is healthy for you to keep active and move your joints. If you do not move a joint regularly, the muscles around it weaken and/or become tight. The joint can stiffen or even freeze. When you do try to move the joint and muscles hurt because they have been still for so long.

 

Many things affect how your joints and muscles feel. Pain may be caused by swelling, joint damage, muscle tightness or spasm. Muscles hurt after doing exercise or activities you aren’t used to; sometimes when the joint is damaged simple activities stress the joint.

 

When your joints are inflamed or damaged, you need to take certain precautions as you do all your daily activities. Your doctor or therapist can teach you exercises and the correct use of heat and cold to decrease pain. You can also learn how to use your body with the least stress to your joints for less pain, easier movement and even more energy. Arthritis can make it hard to do the movements you rely on every day for work or taking care of your family.

Can arthritis cause numbness?

Numbness is often a symptom of nerve involvement. For instance, numbness in the arm may be related to nerve irritation in the neck. In such a situation, turning or bending the head to the involved side may increase the symptoms. For example, a pinched nerve in the right side of the neck may cause numbness in the arm and hand when a person attempts to look back over the right shoulder. If nerve irritation becomes more severe, the arm and hand may become weak. A physical examination X-rays and an MRI of the neck and electrodiagnostic tests may be useful in establishing the diagnosis.

Why do joints make popping and cracking noises?

Joints can make different noises–some are serious and some are not. Some people learn how to “pop their knuckles.” By pushing or pulling a joint in a certain way an air bubble can suddenly appear in the joint with a “pop.” Once the bubble is there the joint cannot be popped again until the air has been reabsorbed. Some joints crack as the ligaments and tendons that pass over them slide past bumps on the bones. Individuals who “crack their neck” make noise in this way. Other joints lock up intermittently–often with a loud pop–because something gets caught in between the joint surfaces. A torn cartilage in the knee or a loose piece of bone or cartilage in the joint can do this. Once a joint is stuck in this way, it may need to be wiggled around to unlock it. This may also cause a pop.

 

Finally, joints that are arthritic may crack and grind. These noises usually occur each time the joint is moved. This noise is due to the roughness of the joint surface due to loss of the smooth cartilage.


Can cracking knuckles cause arthritis?

There is no evidence that cracking one’s knuckles can cause arthritis directly. However, repeated injury of a joint or repeatedly causing it to swell can injure the cartilage and potentially lead to degenerative joint disease.

What are the warning signs of arthritis?

Pain from arthritis can be ongoing or can come and go. It may occur when you’re moving or after you have been still for some time. You may feel pain in one spot or in many parts of your body.

 

Your joints may feel stiff and be hard to move. You may find that it’s hard to do daily tasks you used to do easily, such as climbing stairs or opening a jar. Pain and stiffness may be more severe during certain times of the day or after you’ve done certain tasks.

 

Some types of arthritis cause swelling or inflammation. The skin over the joint may appear swollen and red and feel hot to the touch. Some types of arthritis can also cause fatigue.

What causes arthritis?

There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. What causes most types is unknown. Because there are so many different types there are likely to be many different causes.

 

Scientists are currently researching what roles three major factors play in certain types of arthritis. These include the genetic factors you inherit from your parents, what happens to you during your life and how you live. The importance of these factors varies for every type of arthritis.

How is arthritis diagnosed?

It’s important to find out if you have arthritis and what type it is because treatments vary for each type. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to help slow or prevent joint damage that can occur during the first few years for several types.

 

Only a doctor can tell if you have arthritis and what type it is. When you see your doctor for the first time about arthritis, expect at least three things to happen. Your doctor will ask questions about your symptoms, examine you and take some tests or X-rays. You can help your doctor by writing down information about your symptoms before your appointment. Bring your answers when you see your doctor.

 

Arthritis may limit how far or how easily you can move a joint. Your doctor may move the joint that hurts or ask you to move it. This is to see how far the joint moves through its normal range of motion. Your doctor may also check for swelling, tender points, skin rashes or problems with other parts of your body.

 

Finally, your doctor may conduct some laboratory tests. These may include tests of your blood, muscles, urine or joint fluid. They also may include X-rays or scans of your body. The tests will depend on what type of arthritis your doctor suspects. They help confirm what type of arthritis your doctor suspects based on your medical history and physical exam and help rule out other diseases that cause similar symptoms.

 

The overall results from your medical history, physical exam and tests help your doctor match your symptoms to the pattern for a specific type of arthritis. It may take several visits before your doctor can tell what type of arthritis you have. Symptoms for some types of arthritis develop slowly and may appear similar to other types in early stages. Your doctor may suspect a certain type of arthritis, but may watch how your symptoms develop over time to confirm it.

What type of doctors treat arthritis?

Part of your treatment plan may involve working with different healthcare specialists. Some common healthcare professionals and their role in your treatment are described below. Most doctors make referrals to one of a group of health professionals with whom they work. But you too can ask your doctor to request medical services you think might help you.

 

Your family doctor may be an excellent source of medical care for your arthritis. Besides having your medication records, your family doctor already has your medical history, is familiar with your general physical health and knows of any past illnesses or injuries. All these facts will give your family doctor a head start in prescribing a treatment plan most suited to your needs.

 

If your arthritis affects many joints or other parts of the body or seems resistant to treatment, you may benefit from seeing a rheumatologist. This is a doctor with special training and experience in the field of arthritis. Your family doctor, the local chapter of the Arthritis Foundation or the county medical society can refer you to a rheumatologist. You can also search for a rheumatologist on the American College of Rheumatology website.

 

Family physicians and general practitioners provide medical care for adults and for children with different types of arthritis. These doctors also can help you find a specialist if necessary. Internists specialize in internal medicine and in the treatment of adult diseases. They provide general care to adults and often help select specialists. Internists should not be confused with interns who are doctors doing a year’s training in a hospital after graduating from medical school.

 

Rheumatologists and orthopedists specialize in treating people with arthritis or related diseases that affect the joints, muscles, bones, skin and other tissues. Most rheumatologists are internists who have had further training in the care of people with arthritis and related diseases. Some rheumatologists also have training in pediatrics. Orthopedists can offer treatment methods, including surgery. Physiatrists are doctors who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation. They may be asked to evaluate your conditions and may direct or prescribe your physical therapy and rehabilitation. Podiatrists are experts in foot care. If arthritis affects your fee,a podiatrist can prescribe special supports and shoes.

 

Nurses trained in arthritis care assist your doctor with your treatment. They also help teach you about your treatment program and can answer many of your questions. Nurses also provide care during hospitalization. Occupational therapists can teach you how to reduce strain on your joints while doing everyday activities. They can teach you how to manage stress more effectively, recommend and show you how to use self-help devices, suggest ways to make everyday and work activities easier and teach you how to reduce strain on your joints and conserve energy. They may also provide you with splints and other joint protection devices.

 

Pharmacists fill your prescriptions for medicines and can explain the drugs’ actions and side effects. Pharmacists can tell you how different medicines work together, when and how to take your medications and can answer questions about over-the-counter medicines.

 

Physical therapists can show you exercises to help keep your muscles strong and your joints from becoming stiff. They can help you learn how to use special equipment to move better. Some physical therapists also are trained to design personal fitness programs, such as prescribed muscle strengthening and range of motion exercises for cardiovascular health maintenance and weight control. They can also show you non-medicinal ways to control pain. If you’ve had surgery, they can give you pre- and post-surgical care and show you the correct use of devices such as walking aids.

 

Psychologists can help you solve emotional or mental problems. They can offer counselling for individual or family support and help you discover effective ways to cope with the emotional aspects of having arthritis. Social workers are specially trained to understand situations that may be difficult to deal with or to talk about. People often meet with a social worker to discuss personal family, social or financial issues that occur as a result of having arthritis. They often suggest appropriate community resources. Certified dietitians (nutritionists) can help by teaching you about any special dietary programs or about healthier ways to eat. X-ray and laboratory technologists perform tests which help your doctor make a diagnosis or follow the effects of certain medications.

What is the patient’s role in treating or managing arthritis?

The patient is the most important member of the health care team. The patient plays an important role in his or her medical care. The patient can contribute to the success of a treatment plan by:

  • learning about arthritis
  • following through with treatment
  • reporting progress and setbacks to health team
  • keeping a positive attitude
  • developing relationships with the rest of the health care team
  • Keeping a positive attitude, though sometimes difficult, is an important ingredient in overcoming arthritis. Asking questions and finding out as much as you can about of arthritis and its treatment is important. So talk over your concerns with your doctor. If you still need more information (or if you have difficulty talking to your doctor), ask the nurse, physical therapist, social worker, occupational therapist to help you find answers to your questions.
What are the types of arthritis?

Arthritis most often affects areas in or around joints. Joints are parts of the body where bones meet, such as your knee. The ends of the bones are covered by cartilage, a spongy material that acts as a shock absorber to keep bones from rubbing together. The joint is enclosed in a capsule called the synovium. The synovium’s lining releases a slippery fluid that helps the joint move smoothly and easily. Muscles and tendons support the joint and help you move. Different types of arthritis can affect one or more parts of a joint. This often results in a change of shape and alignment in the joints.

 

Certain types of arthritis can also affect other parts of the body, such as the skin and internal organs. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. It is important to know which type of arthritis you have so you can treat it properly. If you don’t know which type you have, call your doctor or ask during your next visit. Some common types of arthritis are described below.

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Gout
  • Low back pain
  • Bursitis and tendinitis

There are many more types of arthritis and related diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and lupus erythematosus.

What are bone spurs?

Bone spurs are of two basic types. One is the kind that arises near a joint with osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease. In this situation, the cartilage has been worn through and the bone responds by growing extra bone at the margins of the joint surface. These “spurs” carry the formal name “osteophytes.” They are common features of the osteoarthritic shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle. Removing these osteophytes is an important part of joint replacement surgery, but removing them without addressing the underlying arthritis is usually not effective in relieving symptoms.

 

The second type of bone spur is the kind that occurs when the attachment of ligaments or tendons to bone become calcified. This can occur on the bottom of the foot around the Achilles Tendon and in the coroacoacromial ligament of the shoulder. These spurs often look impressive on X-rays, but because they are in the substance of the ligaments so they rarely cause sufficient problems to merit excision.

What are common arthritis treatments?

There are many things that help reduce pain, relieve stiffness and keep you moving. Your care may involve more than one kind of treatment. Your doctor may recommend medications, but there are many things you can do on your own to help manage pain and fatigue and move easier.

 

Finding the right treatment takes time. It can involve trial and error until you and your healthcare team or therapist find what works best. Be sure to let your doctor know if a treatment is not working. Your treatment may also change as your arthritis changes.

 

Treatments for arthritis can be divided into several categories: medication, exercise, heat/cold, pacing, joint protection, surgery and self-help skills. You can do things in each of these areas to help yourself feel better and move easier.


What to expect with the surgery for arthritis?

Most people with arthritis will never need surgery. However, surgery can help in some cases when other treatments have failed. It can reduce pain, increase movement and improve physical appearance. Two kinds of surgery help people with arthritis. The first kind repairs the existing joint by removing debris, fusing or correcting bone deformity. The second replaces the joint with an artificial joint. If your doctor suggests surgery, you may want to ask another doctor for a second opinion. Orthopedic surgeons are the doctors who perform most joint replacements. Plastic surgeons may help with hand surgery.

I can only speak my native language?

Many hospitals in India have language translators to help you communicate better and effortlessly with the doctors and medical staff.

The doctor with a special training in arthritis and related diseases is called a rheumatologist.

What are the Differences between Rheumatoid Arthritis & other Arthritis Types?

As already stressed upon the fact that Rheumatoid Arthritis in India is an autoimmune system where the body attacks itself. The target happens to be the soft lining around the tissues, known as the synovium. The immune system views it as a threat which is similar to a bacteria or a fungus. The fluid build up causes inflammation and pain in the joints. It begins in the smaller joints of the body, and as it spreads, the symptoms can develop in the larger joints like the hips or the shoulders. In hindsight, it is a symmetrical disease.

Osteoarthritis which is the most popular form of arthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints. People with breakdown of its experience a collapse in their cartilage that cushions the joints. The wearing down of the cartilage forces the bones to rub against one another paving way for inflammation and muscle pain. The main point of difference with Rheumatoid Arthritis is that it does not involve the immune system. On the other hand, this is  not a symmetrical disease and one may experience pain in both the right and the left knee for example. As and when the disease progresses, OA affects the spine and the hips

What is rheumatoid arthritis?

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, inflammatory disease in which joint disease is center-stage, with a background of constitutional and internal manifestations. Systemic means that many parts of the body can be involved. Inflammatory means that the patient presents with redness, warmth, swelling and functional limitation in the joints. This can lead to joint damage, a major focus of the newer therapies for RA. Constitutional and internal manifestations mean that the body’s immune and inflammatory systems of the body are activated, can affect various tissues throughout the body, and can cause fatigue and weight loss.

Is there a cure for RA?

We now know a great deal about what causes RA and how to control it. While we cannot cure it at present, joint damage can now be prevented — with early use of disease-modifying drugs that are essential in order to avoid joint erosions and limitation in function. The rate at which new advances in care are occurring in RA is mind-boggling!

What causes rheumatoid arthritis?

The actual cause of RA is unknown, but it is thought to be triggered by environmental factors, such as infections with viruses or bacteria, in people with a genetic predisposition to the disease. However, while some patients do remember a viral-type illness when RA began, most do not. To date, no specific infectious agent has been found. (Some antibiotics may improve RA a bit, but their benefits seem to come from their anti-inflammatory action, not their bacteria-killing action.) Genetic factors appear to play as much as a 50% role in the development of RA. But it is the contact with an environmental agent in the genetically-predisposed person that seems to initiate the self-perpetuating inflammation characteristic of RA. While it is clear that genetics are important, if you have RA, this does not at all mean that your child or grandchildren will develop it. Actually, the risk is very small.

Will dietary changes help my RA?

Diet may play a role in some patients with RA. However, in most, a well-balanced diet is the correct prescription. Patients should keep a diary to determine whether eating one type of food is commonly associated with a flare of RA. If that is the case, a trial of avoiding that food is reasonable. Optimal weight is always appropriate, especially patients with joint inflammation in the legs.

What role does stress play in causation or flare of RA?

Patients commonly report that stress, either physical or emotional, was present or severe when their RA began. This is true in other autoimmune disorders as well. Since the mind-body connection is real, most physicians appreciate the linkage between stress and disease onset or exacerbation. Because there are clear interactions between the nervous, immune and endocrine systems, the impact of stress on disease presentation and severity is explainable in physiologic terms. Obviously, life is stressful. Thus, how to employ stress reduction in a therapeutic regimen is up to the individual patient, in concert with the physician.

Why is RA called an autoimmune disorder?

The immune system plays a major role in development of joint inflammation and damage, fatigue, and the feeling that you have a chronic viral illness. The immune system is made up of body-protecting cells and antibodies. In normal people, these help to fight off invading infectious agents. In RA, however, something goes awry, and immune system appears to be directed against the person’s tissues. Thus, it is called an autoimmune disorder.

What are the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?

The main joint symptoms are related to the state of inflammation and include pain, swelling, redness, warmth and limitation in range of motion of the involved joints The joint pains in RA behave in a specific manner and affect multiple joints on both sides of the body in what is called a symmetric pattern. That is, if your left knee is affected, your right knee will likely also be affected. The joints most likely to be affected are the small joints of the hand and feet, elbows, knees, and ankles. The external signs of inflammation reflect a potentially-damaging disease process that can lead to injury to bone, cartilage, and soft tissues such as tendons. If left untreated, this can cause deformities and limitation in function. Fortunately, today we have excellent treatments that can stop this inflammation and avoid further damage.

Can RA involve internal organs?

Some patients with RA develop more generalized disease in which internal organs can be inflamed and damaged. This is quite rare, and rarer still today with our new therapies. Some of the patients who develop this problem have little nodules under the skin of their forearms. Internal problems can include: lung inflammation; nerve irritation called neuropathy; eye inflammation called scleritis; and dry eyes or dry mouth due to Sjogren’s syndrome. Each of these problems can be treated with many of the newer medications available for RA.


What tests are done for RA?

The diagnosis of RA is based on clinical signs and symptoms, but it is supported by laboratory tests. If someone presents with a clinical pattern suggestive of RA, a variety of blood tests and X-rays will be performed.

What is the modern treatment philosophy in rheumatoid arthritis?

Today, we are blessed with a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis and characteristics of RA and the availability of safe and effective medications that can alter the natural history of RA and improve function. We start with the premise that RA is eminently controllable, and the goal of our therapies is “no evidence of disease.” That means no signs of redness, warmth, swelling or tenderness and normal function. Since we would not accept uncontrolled illness in angina, chronic obstructive lung disease, hypertension or diabetes, we should similarly not accept it in RA. Luckily, today, we have the therapeutic tools to make this happen. Early treatment with disease-modifying drugs is mandatory in order to prevent joint damage and dysfunction (i.e. within the first two to three months after disease onset). Treatment will continue for at least five years and possibly throughout life. Medications, physical and occupational therapy, and education for patients and their families should be important components of every regimen.

When should I see a specialist?

A multidisciplinary team that includes the primary care physician, the rheumatologist, the physical therapist, and other members of the health care system will bring about a coordinated treatment program that is both safe and effective. The primary care physician or internist commonly works in partnership with a rheumatologist. Referral to a specialist in rheumatology most commonly occurs in the following situations:

 

When the diagnosis is in question;

At the start of therapy, in order to craft the optimal medication and physical therapy regimen;

During the course of the illness to define response to or alteration in the treatment regimen;

In the setting of possible medication side effects;

Progressive disease despite therapy;

A single joint that is leading to significant functional limitation;

The presence of fever, marked fatigue, or weight loss;

Prior to orthopaedic surgery.

The medical team includes board-certified orthopedic surgeons who are familiar with all the aspects of the musculoskeletal system. Our hospital uses the most advanced technologies available for the orthopaedic procedures and has a lower complication rate.

How did I get lupus?

The cause of lupus remains unknown. Who gets lupus and why are two of the major questions researchers are trying to answer.

Can you “catch” lupus from another person?

No, lupus is not contagious. You cannot “catch” it from another person. Lupus is also not a form of AIDS.

Will I get sick more often and will the symptoms get worse?

Not necessarily. The symptoms of lupus change over time, sometimes getting worse, but at other times getting better. At times, symptoms may disappear entirely. When that happens, the disease is in remission. Even if the disease is in remission or not causing problems, people with lupus should keep their scheduled appointments with their doctors.

 

The reappearance or sudden worsening of symptoms are known as a flare. It is possible to have a flare and not know it. Different symptoms may continue to appear years after lupus is diagnosed. New health concerns can be addressed at regular health checkups. Regular physical exams and lab work allow your medical team to note any changes and identify and treat flares early.

Will lupus just go away?

Lupus is a chronic or long-lasting disease of the immune system and there is currently no cure for lupus. There are effective treatments that can reduce symptoms and prevent complications, allowing people with lupus to live active lives. There is also ongoing research aimed at finding a cure.

 

One form of lupus, drug-induced lupus, usually disappears over time if the drug causing or inducing the lupus is stopped. It is not always possible to stop, since the drug inducing the lupus may be needed to control irregular heart rhythms or high blood pressure or other health concerns.

Am I allowed to drink alcohol?

Most people with lupus who are old enough to drink alcohol can do so in moderation. Be aware, however, that alcohol can change the way the body uses or metabolizes certain medications, rushing them into the bloodstream. This can intensify both the good and not-so-good effects of medications. Alcohol can also interfere with good nutrition, causing the body to burn up some nutrients too quickly.

 

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can cause stomach and intestinal upset and irritation, and alcohol can make it worse. Avoid drinking alcohol while taking NSAIDs. Women who are pregnant should not drink alcohol.

Am I allowed to exercise?

Yes, in most cases, people with lupus should exercise. You may need to modify exercise activities due to painful joints, fatigue or other lupus symptoms. There are many benefits to a daily exercise program. The physical therapist or occupational therapist at Joint Replacement Surgery Hospital India can assess your current condition and design an exercise program tailor made for you. It is important for you to share your personal physical goals with the therapists and the physicians so the Joint Replacement Surgery Hospital India team can work with you to help you meet your goals. Learn about the types of exercise you can do and tips on exercising effectively and sensibly.

Can I use a tanning bed?

You really shouldn’t. Tanning booths or tanning beds expose you to ultraviolet light (UV). Most people with lupus are very sensitive to ultraviolet light. Getting too much UV can make lupus skin rashes worse or cause new ones to appear. UV can also make other lupus symptoms worse. UV, whether from a tanning bed or from the sun, can also cause skin cancer.

Does lupus affect sexual activity and fertility in men?

Sexual activity, potency and fertility do not differ among men with lupus and those who do not have lupus. Young men with lupus have normal sexual and reproductive abilities. As men age, they normally experience a drop in their levels of androgens, a hormone that is usually present in high levels in males and lower levels in females. This drop in androgen levels occurs in men who have lupus and those who do not have lupus and can cause reduced sex drive and sexual activity.


What forms of contraception are safe to use for a person with lupus?

Barrier methods of contraception, such as a diaphragm or a condom with spermicidal foam, are considered the safest contraceptive options for people with lupus. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) may increase the risk of infection for women taking immunosuppressive drugs, and the risk of bleeding in women with thrombocytopenia, an abnormally low level of platelets in the blood.

 

Women may use oral contraceptives (birth control pills) containing estrogen as long as their blood is not overly likely to coagulate or thicken into a mass. Other options include birth control pills that contain only the hormone progesterone or injectable progesterone; for  example, medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera”) given for up to three months at a time.

Do I have to take medications every day?

Most but not all lupus medications need to be taken every day, at least while the disease is active. Check with your doctor about when and how often your medications should be taken and then take them exactly as instructed.

Can I take alternative medications or dietary supplements?

Some alternative medications and herbal and vitamin supplements may not mix well with medications being used to treat lupus. Always check with your doctor before taking any other medications or supplements. No research studies to date have shown that these alternative medications and dietary supplements have an effect on the disease process or prevent organ damage. Some alternative approaches may help with stress and coping with a chronic disease.

 

Such approaches may become part of the treatment plan, as long as they do not have other effects that might be considered harmful and you understand that these approaches are to be used with, not instead of, medical treatment. Work together with the Joint Replacement Surgery Hospital India health care team to find the best way to treat your lupus symptoms and maintain the best possible overall health.

How do I tell my friends and family about lupus?

Dealing with a lifelong illness such as lupus can be hard. Your friends, family, classmates, teachers, bosses or coworkers may not understand how lupus affects you and what you can do. Members of the Joint Replacement Surgery Hospital India health care team can help you understand the disease and explain it to your family and friends. You can tell them lupus is a chronic disease that changes over time, but it is not contagious. Let them know that lupus and the medications used to treat it can sometimes change your physical appearance, your energy levels, your ability to do certain tasks and your mood.

 

Talking openly and honestly can help your friends and family understand these changes when they occur. Tell them as much as you think they need to know, when they need to know it. If they want more information, you can refer them to the Joint Replacement Surgery Hospital India. Remember, it is possible to have lupus and have an active, rewarding life. It is important you take control of your illness and not allow it to take control of you. Having a positive attitude will make it easier for your family and friends to relate to you as they did before you were diagnosed with lupus.

 FAQ’s

Plan-ter-fash-ee-WHAT?

Plantar fasciitis, pronounced “PLAN-ter fash-ee-I-tis,” is a repetitive stress injury affecting the sturdy band of connective tissue which runs from your heel to the base of your toes. It is characterized by numerous micro-tears along this band, which result in pain ranging from a dull ache to a sharp stabbing feeling. Plantar fasciitis can last for months or even years. However, the condition is highly treatable and may heal much, much faster if its hobbled victim engages in active recovery. This book will guide you through a complete range of active recovery steps.

Is plantar fasciitis the same thing as “heel spurs?”

Heel spurs are calcium deposits which result from the inflamed plantar fascia being pulled and strained where it attaches to the heel. The heel spurs form at the front of the heel and can be felt through palpitation. Heel spurs themselves do not hurt, and do not cause plantar fasciitis. They are instead a symptom of it.

I experience intense heel pain in the morning. As the day progresses and I move about, the pain subsides to a degree. But it returns in the evening – with a vengeance. What’s going on?

Welcome to the frustrating world of plantar fasciitis. A peculiar and hazardous aspect of the condition is its tendency to subside as you move around during the day, then return with full force in the evening. This short window of relief can actually be a detriment as it gives the victim the illusion that the malady is receding. As a result, the factors which caused plantar fasciitis in the first place may not be addressed, and a person may unwittingly continue to aggravate the condition. Which can result in a more severe case of plantar fasciitis and delayed healing. The guidelines you’ll find will help steer you toward fixing plantar fasciitis and preventing its recurrence – regardless of the present level of soreness you endure. Many sufferers of plantar fasciitis realize a cessation of pain for a while, only to have the condition sinks its talons back into their feet soon after. This book will help you protect yourself from such a recurrence.

Can’t I just tough it out and wait for plantar fasciitis to go away?

You can try it, but it may not work. Plantar fasciitis afflicts a person because of the presence of certain factors, generally several of them, conspiring to form the “perfect storm” against your feet. The trick to conquering the condition is to learn what those factors are and eliminate them. At the same time, you will want to bolster your foot’s defence mechanisms. This book will explain those factors and guide you step by step through the recovery process. It will help you eliminate the pain caused by plantar fasciitis and get your feet back in action in the shortest time possible.

Isn’t there some kind of pill I can take?

No medication exists that will actually make plantar fasciitis disappear. In some cases a doctor or other health care professional will recommend over-the-counter pain relievers, but these provide only temporary relief at best. To effectively vanquish plantar fasciitis, you’ll want to do more than just delay the pain; you need to address the causes of the condition and take action. And that’s just what this book will help you do.

Shouldn’t I consult a doctor for such a serious condition?

Seeing a doctor or other health care professional is never a bad idea when you’re stricken with a painful injury like plantar fasciitis. But the healing process generally takes place under a home care setting, whether you see a doctor or not. Many of the steps on the way to recovery involve actions you make part of your daily life. No miracle medicine is available to cure plantar fasciitis, so you won’t be given a prescription for one. A good doctor or other health care professional will probably give constructive suggestions, steer you in the right direction, and start you on the path to recovery with two, three, maybe four actions you can take. But why stop there? Fill up our free consultation form to leave no stone unturned.

How does osteoarthritis impact activities of daily living?

Osteoarthritis affects different people differently. It may progress quickly, but for most people, joint damage develops gradually over years. In some people, osteoarthritis is relatively mild and interferes little with day-to-day life. In others, it causes significant pain and disability.

 

Osteoarthritis is one of the most frequent causes of physical disability among older adults. Many people with osteoarthritis find their movements or activities limited to some degree because of stiffness, limited range of motion, and pain.

How can I reduce my chances of developing osteoarthritis?

Here are ways to decrease your chances of developing osteoarthritis.

How is osteoarthritis diagnosed?

No single test can diagnose osteoarthritis. When a person feels pain in his or her joints, it may or may not be osteoarthritis.

 

The doctor will use a combination of tests to try to determine if osteoarthritis is causing the symptoms. These may include a medical history, a physical examination, x-rays, and laboratory tests. A patient’s attitudes, daily activities, and levels of anxiety or depression have a lot to do with how much the symptoms of osteoarthritis affect day-to-day living.

Is there a cure for osteoarthritis?

There is no cure for osteoarthritis and no way to reverse the joint damage once it occurs. However, current treatments can relieve symptoms.

 

Exercise is one of the best treatments. Exercise can improve mood and outlook, decrease pain, and assist in maintaining a healthy weight. Warm towels, hot packs, or a warm bath or shower can provide temporary pain relief. Medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, help reduce pain and inflammation that result from osteoarthritis.

Can exercise help treat osteoarthritis?

Yes, exercise is one of the best treatments. Exercise can improve mood and outlook, decrease pain, and assist in maintaining a healthy weight. The amount and form of exercise will depend on which joints are involved, how stable the joints are, whether or not the joint is swollen, and whether a joint replacement has already been done. Ask your doctor or physical therapist what exercises are best for you. The following types of exercise are part of a well-rounded arthritis treatment plan.

  • Strengthening exercises. These exercises strengthen muscles that support joints affected by arthritis. They can be performed with weights or with exercise bands, inexpensive devices that add resistance.
  • Aerobic activities. These are exercises, such as brisk walking or low-impact aerobics, that get your heart pumping and can keep your lungs and circulatory system in shape.
  • Range-of-motion activities. These keep your joints limber.
  • Balance and agility exercises. These help you maintain your balance and reduce your risk of falling.
What treatments are available for temporary pain relief?

Warm towels, hot packs, or a warm bath or shower can provide temporary pain relief. Medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, help reduce pain and inflammation that result from osteoarthritis. A doctor or physical therapist can recommend if heat or cold is the best treatment. For osteoarthritis in the knee, wearing insoles or cushioned shoes may reduce joint stress.

What are some non-drug and alternative ways to relieve arthritis pain?

People with osteoarthritis may find many non-drug ways to relieve pain, they include:

  • Heat and Cold
  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
  • Massage
  • Acupuncture

Nutritional supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate


What medications are used to treat osteoarthritis?

Doctors consider a number of factors when choosing medicines for their patients. In particular, they look at the type of pain the patient may be having and any possible side effects from the drugs. For pain relief, doctors usually start with acetaminophen because the side effects are minimal. If acetaminophen does not relieve pain, then non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen may be used. Some NSAIDs are available over the counter, while more than a dozen others, including a subclass called COX-2 inhibitors, are available only with a prescription.

 

Corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, and topical creams are also used. Most medicines used to treat osteoarthritis have side effects, so it is important for people to learn about the medicines they take. For example, people over age 65 and those with any history of ulcers or stomach bleeding should use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, with caution.

 

There are measures you can take to help reduce the risk of side effects associated with NSAIDs. These include taking medications with food and avoiding stomach irritants such as alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine. In some cases, it may help to take another medication along with an NSAID to coat the stomach or block stomach acids. Although these measures may help, they are not always completely effective.

How can assistive devices help people with osteoarthritis?

Protecting and supporting the affected joint or joints is important. Some people may use splints or braces to provide extra support for joints and/ or keep them in proper position during sleep or activity. Splints should be used only for limited periods of time because joints and muscles need to be exercised to prevent stiffness and weakness. If you need a splint, an occupational therapist or a doctor can help you get a properly fitted one. Some people find relief from special footwear and insoles that can reduce pain and improve walking or from using canes to take pressure off painful joints.

How is surgery used to treat osteoarthritis?

For many people, surgery helps relieve the pain and disability of osteoarthritis. Surgery may be performed to achieve one or more of the following.

 

  • Removal of loose pieces of bone and cartilage from the joint if they are causing symptoms of buckling or locking (arthroscopic debridement).
  • Repositioning of bones (osteotomy).
  • Resurfacing (smoothing out) bones (joint resurfacing).

 

The decision to use surgery depends on several factors, including the patient’s age, occupation, level of disability, pain intensity, and the degree to which arthritis interferes with his or her lifestyle. After surgery and rehabilitation, the patient usually feels less pain and swelling and can move more easily.

What does joint replacement involve?

Surgeons may replace affected joints with artificial joints called prostheses. These joints can be made from metal alloys, high-density plastic, and ceramic material. Some prostheses are joined to bone surfaces with special cements. Others have porous surfaces and rely on the growth of bone into that surface (a process called biologic fixation) to hold them in place. The artificial joints can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Surgeons choose the design and components of prostheses according to their patient’s weight, sex, age, activity level, and other medical conditions. Joint replacement advances in recent years have included the ability, in some cases, to replace only the damaged part of the knee joint, leaving undamaged parts of the joint intact, and the ability to perform hip replacement through much smaller incisions than previously possible.

FAQ’s

What is a Morton’s neuroma?

Whilst the term “Morton’s neuroma” is universally used, it is inaccurate as the pathology is more in keeping with an abnormal fibrous reactive thickening of the nerve, rather than of a true tumour of nerve tissue. The term peri-neural fibroma is generally recognised as being accurate. Morton’s neuroma is an entrapment neuropathy, which typically occurs between the 3rd and 4th toes metatarsals, although it also frequently occurs between the 2nd and 3rd toes. The nerve effectively becomes compressed against the intermetatarsal ligament. The relative incidence of neuroma formation between the 2nd and 3rd and 3rd and 4th interspaces varies, however, some studies have shown a greater incidence between the 3rd and 4th interspace.

How common is Morton’s neuroma?

Morton’s neuroma is perceived to be a common form of foot pain, frequently encountered in podiatric and orthopaedic clinics. However, no formal studies have been undertaken to establish its prevalence within the general population and this remains unknown.
