How does osteoarthritis stop pain

summary

My father used to be in good health. As he grew older, he became fatter and fatter. Later he suffered from osteoarthritis. Now he is limping and often has knee pain. Every day to eat a lot of medicine to treat, now many people with the growth of age, the loss of calcium, have osteoarthritis, osteoarthritis this disease is generally a strong sense of pain, in the end how to stop pain how to treat? Now I'd like to share some small experiences with you.

How does osteoarthritis stop pain

First of all, osteoarthritis can be treated by non drug therapy, including health education, self training, weight loss, aerobic exercise, range of motion training, muscle strength training, use of walking aids, wedge insole of genu varus, occupational therapy and joint protection, auxiliary facilities of daily life, etc. A considerable number of patients in Europe and the United States can reduce symptoms through the above treatment.

Secondly, sodium hyaluronate can also have obvious effect on osteoarthritis. It is the main component of synovial fluid in articular cavity and one of the components of cartilage matrix. It plays a lubricating role in joints and reduces friction between tissues. After injection into articular cavity, it can significantly improve the inflammatory reaction of synovial fluid tissue, enhance the viscosity and lubricating function of synovial fluid, protect articular cartilage and promote the development of articular cartilage Healing and regeneration, relieve pain, increase the range of motion of the joint. It is usually injected into the joint.

Finally, glucosamine can be taken to treat osteoarthritis. As the most important monosaccharide of glucosamine (GS) and proteoglycan in articular cartilage matrix, normal people can synthesize GS through the amination of glucose. However, GS synthesis is blocked or insufficient in the chondrocytes of osteoarthritis patients, resulting in softening and loss of elasticity of cartilage matrix, destruction of collagen fiber structure and cartilage surface The increase of the cavity makes the bone wear and destroy. Glucosamine can block the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis, promote chondrocytes to synthesize proteoglycans with normal structure, inhibit the production of enzymes (such as collagenase and phospholipase A2) in damaged tissues and cartilage, reduce the damage of chondrocytes, improve joint activity, relieve joint pain, and delay the course of osteoarthritis.

matters needing attention

Suffering from osteoarthritis to pay attention to a balanced diet, especially eat more sulfur-containing food, can be conducive to the improvement of the disease, such as asparagus, eggs, garlic, onions. Because the repair and reconstruction of bone, cartilage and connective tissue need sulfur as raw material, and sulfur also helps to absorb calcium. No iron or iron containing multivitamins. Because iron is associated with pain, swelling and joint damage. Alkaloids in Solanum vegetables, such as tomato, potato, eggplant, pepper and tobacco, can aggravate arthritis symptoms.
