Arthritis is a condition that affects more than 10% of the adult population. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. The false notion that all arthritis is alike has led people to try treatments that have little effect on their arthritis symptoms. Since each type of arthritis is different, each type calls for a different approach to treatment. That means an accurate diagnosis is crucial for anyone who has arthritis. What Are the Common Types of Arthritis? There are two major types of arthritis — osteoarthritis, which is the “wear and tear” arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory type of arthritis that happens when the body’s immune system does not work properly. Gout, which is caused by crystals that collect in the joints, is another common type of arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis, lupus, and septic arthritis are other types. Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is also called degenerative joint disease or degenerative arthritis. It is the most common chronic joint condition. Osteoarthritis results from overuse of joints but most commonly it is an aging phenomenon. It can be the consequence of demanding sports where joints may be injured or obesity, which places increased load on weight bearing joints. Osteoarthritis in the hands is frequently inherited and often happens in middle-aged women. Osteoarthritis is most common in joints that bear weight — such as the knees, hips, feet, and spine. It often comes on gradually over months or even years. Except for the pain in the affected joint, you usually do not feel sick, and there is no unusual fatigue or tiredness as there is with some other types of arthritis. With osteoarthritis, the cartilage gradually breaks down. Cartilage is a slippery material that covers the ends of bones and serves as the body’s shock absorber. As more damage occurs, the cartilage starts to wear away, or it doesn’t work as well as it once did to cushion the joint. As an example, the extra stress on knees from being overweight can cause damage to knee cartilage. That, in turn, causes the cartilage to wear out faster than normal. As the cartilage becomes worn, cushioning effect of the joint is lost. The result is pain when the joint is moved. Along with the pain, sometimes you may hear a grating sound when the roughened cartilage on the surface of the bones rubs together. Painful spurs or bumps may appear on the end of the bones, especially on the fingers and feet. While not a major symptom of osteoarthritis, inflammation may occur in the joint lining as a response to the breakdown of cartilage. Symptoms of osteoarthritis, depending on which joint or joints are affected, may include: - Deep, aching pain - Difficulty dressing or combing hair - Difficulty gripping objects - Difficulty sitting or bending over - Joint being warm to the touch - Morning stiffness for less than an hour - Pain when walking - Stiffness after resting - Swelling of joint - Loss of motion in a joint Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common type of inflammatory arthritis. About 75% of those affected are women. In fact, between 1% and 3% of women are likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis in their lifetime. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. That means that the immune system attacks parts of the body. The joints are the main areas affected by this malfunction in the immune system. Over time, chronic inflammation can lead to severe joint damage and deformities. About one out of every five people who have rheumatoid arthritis develop lumps on their skin called rheumatoid nodules. These often develop over joint areas that receive pressure, such as over knuckles, elbows, or heels. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can come on gradually or start suddenly. Unlike osteoarthritis, symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are often more severe, causing pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, stiffness. With rheumatoid arthritis, you may feel pain and stiffness and experience swelling in your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles, feet, jaw, and neck. Sometimes the pain occurs in one body part. But more commonly, rheumatoid arthritis pain occurs in combinations of several joints such as in the hands, knees, and feet. With rheumatoid arthritis, the joints tend to be involved in a symmetrical pattern. That is, if the knuckles on the left hand are inflamed, the knuckles on the right hand will also be inflamed. After a period of time, more of your joints may gradually become involved with pain and swelling and may feel warm to the touch. The joint swelling is persistent and interferes with activities. For example, it can interfere with opening a jar, driving, working, and walking — the very activities that allow us to function in our daily lives. Arthritis Pain Treatment Medication: Over-the-counter (OTC) medications for pain relief, like acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen sodium, provide relief from arthritis pain. OTC acetaminophen can reduce mild and moderate arthritis pain that often accompanies osteoarthritis. In addition to medications, there are supplements and creams that you can purchase over the counter that may also alleviate arthritis pain. Among the most popular supplements used by people with osteoarthritis are glucosamine and chondroitin. In those with moderate to severe knee pain from osteoarthritis, the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate may be effective in providing pain relief, although medical studies have not shown clear proof that they are helpful in everyone. In addition to over-the-counter NSAID medications, pain physicians can suggest prescription NSAIDs to treat arthritis pain and inflammation. Prescription NSAIDs may also be available in topical and injectable forms. Besides ibuprofen and naproxen, other examples of prescription NSAIDs include diclofenac and others. Injections: Potent anti-inflammatory agents (like Synvisc One) can be injected to reduce pain and inflammation. Ozone Gas injections have also clinically proven to be extremely effective at pain relief. Stem Cell/Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy: PRP therpay involves injecting platelets from the patient’s own blood to rebuild a damaged tendon or cartilage. It has been successful in not only relieving the pain, but also in jumpstarting the healing process. The patient’s blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge for 15 minutes to separate out the platelets. The platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the damaged portion of the tendon or cartilage. Surgery: Surgery procedures are used as a last resort. Like all other surgeries, these surgeries have their own issues like associated risks and high hospitalization and recovery times. Even then, the success rate for surgeries is limited to 60-70%.

Artritis i homeopatija Hrskavica je glatka, mekana tvar koja sprečava dodirivanje i trenje susjednih kostiju u zglobu. U osoba koje boluju od osteoartritisa hrskavica se polako gubi, nestaje. Najčešće su zahvačeni zglobovi prstiju, koljena, kukovi, vrat i kralježnica. Reumatoidni artritis kronična je bolest koju karakteriziraju upala i oštećenje hrskavice i ostalih tkiva u kosti i oko nje. Osteoartritis - može biti posljedica dugogodišnjeg trošenja i opterećenja zglobova. Genski čimbenici, prekomjerna tjelesna masa i smanjena sposobnost tijela da popravi oštećenu hrskavicu također pridonose nastanku osteoartritisa. Ovim promjenama skloniji su oni koji su tijekom života imali češće povrede pojedinih zglobova. Kod žena u menopauzi na malim zglobovima šaka i stopala koji su degenerativno promijenjeni pojavljuju se izrasline - čvorovi. U reumatoidnom artritisu - imunosni sustav napada vlastite zglobove i okolna tkiva-dolazi do tzv.autoimunosne reakcije. Ta se upalna bolest pojavljuje uglvnom između 20-e i 40-e godine života, a može nastati i zbog nasljedne sklonosti. Karakteristična je simetričnost zahvaćenih zglobova. Upalni proces zahvaća zglobnu ovojnicu, a potom dolazi do degeneracije hrskavice tetiva i ligamenata. Zglobovi zbog tih promjena postaju deformirani. Juvenilni artritis ( idiopatski) – je upalna bolest vezivnog tkiva koje se najviše očituje na zglobovima. U ovom poremećaju imunološki sustav napada velike zglobove poput koljena , zapešća i gležnjeva, kosti i ponekad, unutarnje organe. Također mogu biti zahvaćene ruke i stopala. Slična je reumatodinom artirtisu u odraslih, ali počinje prije navršene 16. godine, a traje najmanje šest tjedana. Juvenilni reumatoidni artritis pogađa jednako djevojčice i dječake. Otok, bol i ukočenost zglobova mogu početi postepeno ili naglo. Zglobovi koji su obično pogođeni su koljena, skočni zglob, ručni zglob i laktovi. Kasnije se javlja upala zglobova obje šake, vrata, temporomandibularnog zgloba, a mogu biti zahvaćeni i kukovi. Upala je obično simetrična, pa zahvaća neke zglobove sa obje strane tijela, npr. oba koljena ili oba kuka. Simptomi : Osteoartritis – početak je polagan, obilježen blagom ukočenošću i bolovima- osobito ujutro i nakon odmora. Otečenost zglobova, ukočenost i škripanje u zglobu su osnovni simptomi ove bolesti. Reumatoidni artritis – umor, mršavljenje, lagano povišena temperatura, te ukočenost zglobova popraćena oteklinom i crvenilom nakon nekoliko tjedana (ručni zglobovi, zglobovi prstiju, koljena, gležnjevi i zglobovi stopala). Zahvaćeni zglobovi mogu biti topli. Juvenilni artritis (idiopatski) - bol u zglobovima kod kretanja, toplina zglobova, bolna osjetljivost zglobova, oteknuće zglobova, ukočenost, osobito nakon spavanja ili nekretanja. Liječenje artritisa homeopatijom – način liječenja je individualan, svakoj osobi se pristupa zasebno i svaka osoba ili dijete će dobiti različitu terapiju, koja će ovisiti o simptomima oboljelog. Veliki broj pripravaka se pokazao učinkovitima, a u mojem iskustvu najefikasniji su bili: Arnica, Bryonia, Calcarea carbonica, Calcarea fluorica, Natrium sulphuricum i dr.
