ਮਾਫ਼ ਕਰਨਾ, ਇਹ ਖਬਰ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਬੇਨਤੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਪਲਬਧ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ। ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਇੱਥੇ ਦੇਖੋ।
These days, aches and pains are rather widespread as a result of sedentary lifestyles and incorrect working postures. On the other hand, chronic joint pain, swelling, and stiffness—especially in the mornings or following an extended period of inactivity—should not be disregarded as they may be signs of arthritis. Every year on October 12, we observe World Arthritis Day to bring attention to the various forms of arthritis. Joint inflammation, stiffness, and oedema are symptoms of arthritis. Two prevalent types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, which commonly affects older people, and rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune illness.
Early indications of arthritis that individuals should be aware of include:
1. Joint pain: Usually, a person will experience joint pain, which can be continuous, sporadic, or limited to the area that is injured.
2. Joint discomfort and swelling: As arthritis progresses, painful and swollen joints may be experienced. The joint may hurt when pressure is applied on it.
3. Stiff joints: Rheumatoid arthritis can cause stiff joints, particularly in the morning. For example, you may not be able to fully bend your fingers or make a fist if your hands are affected. Like joint pain, stiffness often gets worse first thing in the morning or after sitting still. Unlike morning stiffness that is a sign of another type of arthritis called osteoarthritis, which usually goes away within 30 minutes of waking up, morning stiffness in persons with rheumatoid arthritis often lasts longer than this.
4. Grinding sound or sensation: If a joint makes a grinding or grating noise when it moves, the cartilage has worn down and arthritis may be the cause.
6. Pain in the groin: A lot of people are not aware that hip arthritis causes pain there rather than on the exterior of the hip.
7. Symmetrical joint pain: Rheumatoid arthritis commonly affects the same joints on both sides of your body, such as both wrists and both knees.
8. Pain or stiffness in your hands and feet: Rheumatoid and other inflammatory arthritis often present as pain in the small joints of your hands, wrists, and ankles.
