Arthritis as a disability
Thursday, January 22nd, 2009Arthritis is high on the list of illnesses that cause disability, and rates alongside heart disease as a cause of disability.
Sufferers are known to have a lower resistance to chills, fever and infection but as there are many remedies it is important to seek medical advice if a chill, fever or infection is not responding to proprietary medicines.
Rheumatoid Arthritis tends to start in the fingers and knees then spreads to other parts of the body, as soon as you start experiencing symptoms it is best to seek medical advice, whilst our creams will help to alleviate the discomfort in most cases, we are not providing any long term solutions or cures.
Patients suffering from Arthritis in the United States can get information from the American Arthritis Foundation and in the United Kingdom a good source of information is to be found from the Arthritis Research Campaign.
Whilst there are lots of types of Arthritis they are normally reduced to three main categories, degenerative, traumatic and inflammatory.
Determining the particular type of condition that you are suffering is best decided by consulting your physician.
It seems to be accepted that diet plays a part in controlling Arthritis; certain foods are helpful whilst others are to be avoided.
Surgery is usually confined to hip/ joint replacement but a lot of success has been had with Arthroscopic surgery by removing bones and tissue to relieve foot arthritis pain.
Watch out for difficulties your pet may be having in walking and moving around as they are also affected by arthritis and if in doubt a visit to the vet may be the best course of action, saving your pet suffering without your knowledge.
