Rheumatoid Arthritis : Inflammation of a Joint

Joints are complex moving parts of the body made up of bones and ligaments and moved by muscles. Inside the joint, the bones are lined by a smooth cartilage that allows friction free movement between the bones. The joint is covered by a capsule that has an inner lining (synovium) which secretes lubricating fluid. Arthritis means inflammation of a joint (from Greek: arthro - joint + itis - inflammation). In arthritis there is damage to cartilage. Arthritis causes the joint to become painful, swollen and stiff. There are different types of arthritis. The commonest type is called osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) is caused by wear and tear that occurs with age (mechanical disorder). It usually affects large weight bearing joints like the hip and knee. It is a slow process that worsens over many years and it affects the older individual. The second type of arthritis is inflammatory arthritis. In this type there is severe inflammation of the lining of the joint (synovium). There are many types of inflammatory arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common type of inflammatory arthritis. In addition to osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis can also be caused by infection (septic arthritis) and trauma.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a type of inflammatory arthritis. It typically affects the younger individual and is more common in women. Why rheumatoid arthritis occurs, is still not clear. It is hereditary, which means that if a mother has it, her daughter is more likely to get it. It is also an auto-immune disorder. Normally the immune system of the body has mechanisms to detect foreign bodies (invading bacteria in infection) and attack them. In auto-immune disorders, these mechanisms are disturbed and the immune system starts attacking the body's own structures (self). RA affects multiple joints. The commonest joints to be affected are the small joints of both hands and feet. In addition to the hands and feet, it can affect almost all other joints like ankle, knee, hip, wrist, elbow and shoulder. In the spine it affects the cervical spine (neck). In addition to pain, RA causes swelling of the joints and stiffness. The swelling is severe and obviously visible.

The stiffness also is severe and typically occurs in the morning. It usually takes more than an hour for the stiffness to settle. RA factor is a blood test that is positive in RA. But RA is a clinical diagnosis and around 30% of RA patients will show RA factor negative. So a negative RA factor may not mean that a patient does not have RA and vice versa. RA is an aggressive disorder causing severe pain, deformity and disability. It is also a very destructive disease and disfigures the joints in a short time if untreated. Unfortunately many patients have become permanently handicapped by this disorder.

The good news is that RA can now be treated effectively. Modern medicine has made progress in the treatment of RA. There is no need for patients to suffer from this disease anymore. The usual pain killers reduce pain but are unable to control the disease and stop the destruction. Treatment of RA is with a special group of drugs called DMARD's (Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatoid Drugs). These drugs not only control pain but also stop the disease process. So patients have a reduction in swelling and stiffness. These medicines prevent the destruction and deformity of joints. Permanent handicap can be prevented. These are strong medicines and patients need to be monitored for side effects. In spite of this, I recommend patients to take these medications as the benefit outweighs the risk from side effects. These medications typically take 1-2 months to take effect. Also your doctor may change the combinations to find the medicines that best suit your body. Most patients tolerate these medications well for many years. We need to understand that there is no cure for RA. The disease can only be controlled like blood pressure or diabetes. So it is important for patients to continue these medications for a long period of time. Most failures in treatment are because patients stop taking the medication

Patients who have severe pain in multiple joints accompanied my swelling and morning stiffness should visit a doctor to check if they are suffering from RA. Patients suffering from RA should take treatment with DMARD's and continue treatment for many years if necessary. They should regularly visit their doctors to manage dosage and monitor side effects. For advanced stages of arthritis, especially of the hip and knee, joint replacement (hip replacement / knee replacement) is a boon.

To conclude, patients of RA don't need to suffer anymore. With modern medicine, deformities and handicap can be prevented and patients can remain pain free.

Why is it easy to form bad habits, and so hard to form good ones? The REASON is plain. Our natural inclination is to take the line of least resistance.

It requires at first a distinct effort to take the more difficult of two possible courses of action. For instance it is easier to lie in bed on a cold morning than to get up early. It is easier to tell, a lie then to own up and take the punishment for a fault. It is easier to put off today's duties to tomorrow than to do them at the right time.

Now a habit is formed by repetition. Every time we yield to temptation, we make it easier to yield, harder to resist the next time. So we form the habit of laziness, lying and unpunctuality. Happily good habits are formed in the same way LIKE brushing your teeth before going to sleep & eating 5 gms of RAW garlic with food once a day or consuming BLACK tea without milk & sugar. The forming of them calls for

effort and determination at first, but every time we resist temptation and do what is in the long run wise and good, we make next struggle less severe , at last; we form a good habit which would be hard to BREAK even if we want to break it. Get in to the habit of early rising and you will not want to lie in bed like a lazybones. Get in to the habit of telling the truth and you will find really hard to tell a lie. Get in to the habit of doing today's work today and for your good HEALTH follow the above suggestions . You will feel uncomfortable if you have to put anything off till tomorrow Habit forming is very important , for character is simply a bundle of habits. If we form good habits, we build up a good character & good health, if we form bad habits we know NOW is the time to do something about it.

Have a Happy and Healthy Monsoon ! ! !

Happy Monsoon

The much awaited monsoon is here and all of us are heaving a sigh of relief from the scorching heat of summer.  This is the time to enjoy and with a little care everybody can have fun… read on…
Skin :
During continuous rains skin is most vulnerable to disease. Due to presence of continuous moisture there are various places in your body like feet (between toes), hands; thigh regions etc. which can be hosts for fungal disease.  Please keep this area dry or wipe immediately when it gets wet. Avoid wearing clothes like jeans which do not dry immediately, wear cotton most of the time which is skin friendly.  Those who are having diabetes needs to take extra care of their feet. Please do not walk barefooted. Avoid wearing wet shoes.
Diet
This is the season to pamper your appetite and enjoy a delicious variety of mouth watering food, but with caution.  Do not eat leftover food.  Make sure whatever you eat is fresh and hygienic.  Avoid eating at a place where you are not sure of hygiene.  Be light on your stomach; avoid eating late as your digestive system goes slow in this season.  Make sure that the area of your house in which you store your food items is dry and ventilated.  In the absence of a water purifier at home please use boiled water.
Clothes
Avoid tight-fitting clothes and clothes that do not dry readily.  Carry an extra pair of clothes for children and elders with you in this season.  Wear bright-colored clothes while walking on roads as it increases the visibility in poor light conditions and helps avoid accidents.  Avoid wearing thick clothes like jeans etc.  They do not dry readily and keep moisture and may make you prone to skin disease.
Care for children
Children love this season the most. In fact they are the one who enjoy this season to the fullest. Make them change clothes immediately when wet. Ask to them take a bath after bath in rain with a good anti-septic soap.
Instruct them to wash hands frequently in this season to avoid infection.  Give them good food and avoid too much of junk stuff which can lower their immunity and lead to frequent infections and visits to the doctor. Give them variety of good home cooked food.
Senior citizens
This VIP class needs special care during monsoons. Please avoid their going out in the rains as far as possible.
There are chances of injury due to unexpected fall on slippery areas. This can lead to problems.  Take medicines regularly have an extra stock for 10 days in this season so in case of very heavy rains there are no chances of non availability.  Carry a stick and torch along with you whenever you go out, of course buffered with a raincoat or umbrella.  Be light on your stomach and avoid taking anything from outside.  Please take care of skin disease.

With these few tips everybody can enjoy monsoon without any problems.
Have a happy and healthy monsoon!!!
