Arthritis, arthrosis, polyarthritis and polyarthrosis, rheumatism - all these are diseases of the articulations of rheumatoid nature.In a way, they are close, although there are differences.With rheumatoid lesions, various systems are injured at the same time: cardiac, vascular, nervous, pulmonary, musculoskeletal.From arthritis pathologies with arthrosis, they are more common.Let's consider in more detail what is the difference between arthrosis and arthritis.
Arthritis and arthrosis - what is
Arthritis- This is the joint pathology of inflammatory etiology, in which in the body there is a synthesis of enzymes involved in the destruction of cartilage and connective tissues.
Arthrosis- This is a disease, whose cause is in irreversible processes that destroy the cartilage, tuning them.These diagnoses differ in this arthritis an inflammatory disease.The causes of arthrosis are damage and mechanical disorders in the bottom of the age -related changes or due to the influence of some other factors.
Discussing what is the difference between arthritis and arthrosis, you need to familiarize yourself with the symptoms that follow each diagnosis and therapy methods with each of them.
Disease symptoms
With arthritis, the appearance of such signs is observed:
- joint pain that does not disappear even in a calm state;
- hyperthermia in the appearance of pain;
- hyperemia and edema in the area of affected joint tissue;
- Climate dependence;
- Visible saline deposits articulation distortion;
- Freezing of the limbs;
- Numbness of the arms and legs, especially in the morning.
With arthrosis, the development of slightly different symptoms is observed:
- Even from a slight load in the joint tissue (walking, raising your arms, flexion of the legs in the knee).However, when the joint is at rest, the pain is absent;
- The temperature in the appearance of pain increases;
- Articulation stiffness or complete absence of motor activity;
- Dependence on time.
To some extent, the symptoms are similar, the difference is that pain against arthrosis appears only when it affects the joint tissue and, against the bottom of the arthritis, the pain is constantly bothering you, even at complete rest.If you do not start treatment when damaged by cartilage, the risk of joint immobilization is high.In the inflammatory process, it is difficult to move in the tissues of the cartilage, but still overcome the pain may be overcoming.
Differences in therapy
The essence of arthrosis therapy is to eliminate factors that led to changes in articular tissue cartilage.With this disease, hormonal drugs, vitamin complexes, besides the main therapy, are indicated.
Treatment should be performed for a long time (approximately 3 months) with non -anti -inflammatory drugs and painkillers to relieve pain.It is impossible to completely get rid of the disease, you will have to regularly perform support treatment so that cartilage tissue is in good condition and destructive processes stop.
With arthritis, therapy consists of eliminating inflammation in the affected joint.For this purpose, the patient receives prescribed antibiotics, NSAIDs, painkillers and hormonal medicines in the form of a long course.
The symptoms of arthritis and arthrosis are different, the orientation of the treatment is different.The essence of arthrosis treatment is to maintain cartilage and prevent additional destruction, restore cartilage nutrition.The main task in the treatment of arthritis is to eliminate inflammation in the field of infection, to resume metabolism in joint tissues of the joint.
Non -traditional treatment methods for arthrosis and arthritis
Use of non -traditional medicine in these diseases is only possible after drug treatment or simultaneously with it.If you ignore traditional medicine, this is full of negative consequences.
Preparations for traditional medicines will give a result if you observe the mode of use and use medicines for a long time (up to 6 months).
Such popular remedies will help in the treatment of arthritis and arthrosis:
- Chicken eggs.We took 2 eggs, we hit, we added and ammonia in an equal amount.We mix everything, we use a mixture to rub the affected joints of a maximum of 5 days.
- Propolis.MOA PURPLE IN A STATE OF DRAWING, ADD ANY OIL (100 G) TO HIM, HEAT WITH A WATER BATH.The heated composition is rubbed until the liquid is completely absorbed.
- Hellebore.In the same amount, mix the frost in the form of a bee -honey powder, add any oil with powder mustard (in a ratio of 2: 1).Mix all components, heat with the help of a water bath, insist 7 days in a dark place.Before use, the product is heated and rubbed with the affected joint.We wrap with something hot, wool if possible.
- Bay leaf.5 Bay leaflets are spilled with a glass of boiling water, cook in a minimum fire for about 1 hour.We use the resulting liquid throughout the day in small sips.
- Garlic.We have garlic and olive oil (in a proportion of 10: 1).MAA Garlic and mix with oil.We use 1/2 teaspoon in the morning with an empty stomach.This tool will not help deal with arthritis and arthrosis, but perfectly relieves pain and helps improve nutrition in tissues.
Preventive actions for arthrosis and arthritis
The main objective of treatment is to preserve a healthy joint tissue;Therefore, preventive measures during these pathologies are approximately the same.
To avoid disease, it is necessary:
- adequate nutrition and diet;
- Diagnosis at the doctor annually;
- Do not carry too much joints;
- exclude pernicious habits;
- alternation of physical activity with mental work;
- If even minor suspicions for developing joint problems, you need to consult a specialist;
- Upon receipt of stretching, use elastic bandages or coton;
- Twice during the year, take a set of vitamins and minerals;
- With an already diagnosed disease, to prevent the development of complications, it is necessary to undergo an NSAID therapy twice a year.
The diet for joint diseases consists of adequate nutrition and the prevention of a set of extra pounds or get rid of existing existing mass to reduce joint load.
Treatment for arthrosis and arthritis is equally complex and prolonged, but it will not be possible to recover completely.If we approach therapy, preventive measures, perform therapeutic gymnastic exercises, observe a diet, there is an opportunity to deal with symptoms, but it is impossible to restore cartilage.
List of similarities and differences
Than these diseases are similar:
- The joint tissue is affected.
- Prevention measures are the same.
- Therapeutic gymnastics is similar.
- The same signs.
- There is hyperthermia, swelling and hyperemia in an affected area.
What is the difference between pathologies:
- Arthritis is an inflammatory chronic disease, arthrosis is a degenerative process in the joints in relation to the bottom of age -related changes.
- Arthritis development is possible at any age, arthrosis affects only the elderly.
- Inflammation of arthritis is located in joint tissue, but carries an infection in various parts of the body and systems.Arthrosis affects only one place.
A complete cure for these diseases is impossible.There is only the possibility of eliminating symptoms, reducing destructive processes in cartilage, weakening inflammation and removing painful manifestations.
Gymnastics for Arthrosis and Arthritis
These diseases will be disturbed to a lesser extent, symptoms will decrease with the daily implementation of the gymnastic complex 2 times a day.This implies the implementation of exercises that can influence the damaged area without carrying it too much, but helping to extend and warm up.Any gymnastics should start with a hot neck -up.Then you need to go to your shoulders, hands and gradually reach your feet.Once you warm up, you can continue to implement the gymnastics itself.
The location of the affected area is due to how to influence it.To do this, you can resort to the help of soft rotational movements, circular rhythmic traces, flexion and extensions of the arms and legs, their abdications in different directions, pinching, covering.
