I was having a reading time a while ago and I was so anxious about what I read. It is all about arthritis. Many times in my life, that I heard such word but it didn’t come to my mind that really is a serious disease.
Did you know that nowadays, there are over 66 million individuals who are experiencing chronic joint pain and arthritis? If we look into it carefully, in three people, there is one individual suffering from it at this moment. That is how arthritis ruins many people.
Maybe most of us think that arthritis that causes chronic joint pain is only for our elders because that was my speculations when I did not yet do research about it. But no, it is not only reserved for the adults. All ages are being affected by this disease, arthritis.
According to what I have read, there are almost 300,000 children in America with some form of rheumatic disease or arthritis. That is only in America, how much more if we include the whole world? Surely there are multiple millions of children are affected.
If you are luckily one of those people who is not presently experiencing arthritis, don’t underestimate it and think that it will not affect you. Accordingly, $86.2 billion annually is being costs in the U.S.’s economy just because of arthritis. It is a big amount that will decrease the people’s income for their own basic things. It really affects everyone, right?
In our own place, I know many people whose lives are obstructed by this chronic joint pain and other related diseases like rheumatoid. Most of them take medications daily and often visits their own physicians and doctors to cope up with the extreme pain. Some also undergo surgeries if it worsens.
If you know someone with this kind of disease, you might be surprised at what are his or her remedies to deal with the pain. You might also be surprised of how his daily livings are limited with a lot of not to do, not to eat, and not to go.
People with arthritis are in need of help. They need our help not only in financial but through prayers and supports. Uplifting them is one way of easing the pain that they feel inside.
We can make a difference by helping those with arthritis. You know what? I was thinking that maybe even just walking with them means a lot. We must be involved because there are many ways to do so in order to eliminate this number one cause of person’s disability.

It is really hard to have arthritis. I remembered my late mother who almost cried in pain whenever she tried to stretch her legs to walk. The food one eats is one of the causes of arthritis.
Arthritic conditions vary from one person to another.It is really disabling for those people who are inflicted with such disease.In fact, arthritis has so many variances. The most common arthritic condition is osteoarthritis and rheumatoid. The clinical features are not similar in body parts affectation. However, the chief complaint of those suffering from such arthritic condition is localized pain.
Osteoarthritis usually started at the age of 20. All of us are starting to experience. Our body joints degenerate through the years of existence.
On the other hand, rheumatoid arthritis is commonly systemic in the course of action. It can be inherited and autoimmune causative factor. It can also affect as an early age.
Regardless, there is no cure for arthritic conditions. There is some treatment but it is the only temporary. In some serious cases, the joint can be replaced with metal alloys. The surgical procedure will depend on the age of the patients. Elders will not have such surgery if they are too old enough to have it.
