WHAT DOES JOINT DEGENERATION DO ?
Osteoarthritis of the knee and hip are one of the five leading causes of disability among elderly men and women. The risk for disability from Osteoarthritis is as great as that from cardiovascular disease. Similar disabilities develop with joint degeneration from Rheumatoid disease, Ankylosing Spondylitis and many other causes of joint degeneration. You may develop following problems Joint pain limits your everyday activities such as walking, bending and use of stairs.
Pain continues even while resting, both day or night. Stiffness in joint limits your ability to move or lift your leg. You will get temporary pain relief from anti-inflammatory drugs, but all these medications have harmful or unpleasant side effects like stomach ulcers, bleeding from ulcers and worsening of hypertension. Other treatments such as physical therapy or the use of a walking aid such as a cane can relieve some pain.
As you age, you lose muscle and bone mass. Bones loose calcium and minerals faster and become brittle. Mobility and balance are impaired. Painful and unstable hip and knee in such situation increase the risk of falling and suffering a serious injury such as a hip fracture.
WHAT HAPPENS IN OSTEOARTHRITIS ?
A smooth, slippery, fibrous connective tissue called articular cartilage acts as a protective cushion between bones. Arthritis develops as the cartilage begins to deteriorate or is lost. As the articular cartilage is lost, the joint space between the bones becomes narrow. This is an early sign Osteoarthritis and is easily seen on X-rays. These changes make your joint look like the joint shown below –The synovium (a membrane that produces a thick fluid to nourish cartilage and keep it slippery) becomes inflamed and thickened. It may produce extra fluid that causes additional swelling. Slowly over time bone ends rub against each other and wear away. This results in the deformity of the joint. Normal activity becomes painful and difficult. Pain can interfere with even simple daily activities.
