Joint pains are extremely weighing our lives. Let's find ways to get rid of unpleasant sensations
Content
In today's science of treatment, there are two types of joint diseases: it can be an independent process in the body and the manifestation of another disease (painful process).
Arthrosis - a prolonged disorder in the joints of the joints, can manifest itself with changes in the endocrine system, be the result of injuries, with too much weight, when the course of all metabolism changes in the body are violated, and with too high physical exertion on the joints (ballerinas, athletes, driver ).
How to understand that the changes in the joints have begun?
With arthrosis, I can undergo changes as the largest joints (joints of the shoulders, pelvis and hips, knees, joints of the elbows or ankle joint), and small joints, such as the spine (spondyloanthrosis). The process of changes in the joints begins with cartilage, bones that cover the surface of the joint. The cartilage is constantly changing and becomes thinner, it also applies to the bones and the inner joint bag - the synovial shell. Sometimes the bone grows so that the studs of the bone itself are formed.
The disease begins with the fact that not very sharp pains appear in the joints of the joints after a state of rest that pass when a person begins to move (“diverges”). Then the pains increase, they appear at prolonged loads and, in the end, become constant. The joints themselves swell, it becomes painful, if you press it, probe it, if the joint often appears a crunch.
The shape of the joint is subjected to changes, the liquid accumulates in large compounds. An increase in pain occurs with a very large load, on the altered joint. With arthrosis, a pronounced narrowing of the joint gap and a change in the shape of the articular ends of the bones occurs.
In medicine, several types of symptoms are distinguished with the onset of changes in the shoulder joint.
Symptoms that say that changes have begun in the joints of the shoulders:
- The pains appear after sleep, they are not great and often they simply do not pay attention to them. Then the pain increases even with not very large loads. And finally, the pain permeates the body at rest.
- A crunch characteristic of this disease appears in the joints. This suggests that the articular surfaces were erased.
- The patient often cannot move normally with his hand. The hand cannot make ordinary movements. The shoulders are fettered and do not move. This indicates the growth of bone tissue (spikes).
- The joints change, become painful when pressed, which indicates that synovial fluid is delayed in the joints. It becomes too many, and she “pushes” the joint inside.
There are pain at rest, and not stopping pains for a long period. You need to measure body temperature. Typically, the temperature is normal and there are no changes in the blood indications.
Treatment of arthrosis
The treatment of arthrosis is as follows:
- Reducing the load on the joint.
- Wearing orthopedic bandages.
- Exercise therapy.
- Physian.
- Introduction to the joint of additional oxygen.
- Treatment with pharmacological drugs.
- Changes in nutrition.
- Treatment in resorts and sanatoriums.
In the treatment of drugs, special attention is paid to removing pain and inflammation in the shoulder joints. Mostly intravenous and intramuscular administration of non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs are prescribed. The doctor can also prescribe ointments, but they are not always effective.
With severe pains, the appointment is made only by the attending physician.
- Acetylsalicylic acid is often prescribed 1.6-2.5 g per day.
- When the course of the disease worsens, an indomethacin is used 25 mg 2-4 times a day.
- Treatment is also prescribed by the course, a freak 1-2 teaspoon 2-4 times a day for 35-45 days. This drug is used inside before meals and dissolved in half a glass of water, a hissing fluid is formed.
- From ointments, 5% diclofenac, Voltaren Forte, traumel gel are prescribed. Ibuprofen or diclofenac is also prescribed in capsules in a dosage of 0.5 mg three times a day.
- Pyroxics, drotaverin 2 tablets three times a day. Diklobertl in capsules 1 time per day.
- Polkortolon according to the system: 3 tablets at once in the morning 6 days, then reduce 2 tablets 6-7 days, 1.5 tablets 7 days, 1 tablet for several months and 0.5 tablets supporting dose, 0.25 tablets constantly.
Since the pain indicates the disease, and not the symptoms, its long -term elimination is possible only with the elimination of its cause. If the abuse of the shoulder joint is irreversible, the long -term administration of drugs may be required.
The perception of pain may change depending on the psychological state of a particular person, for example, pain can increase in a state of anxiety or fear. Anxiolytics are effective when pain is combined with a sense of anxiety. Opioid drugs act on the brain and spinal cord, reducing the perception of pain. Non -steroidal anti -inflammatory drugs act at the place of pain, preventing the stimulation of nerve endings.
- Treatment under medical supervision often begins with the appointment of paracetamol and NSAIDs; In case of inefficiency, these drugs can be prescribed in combination.
- Codeine can also be used - a weak opioid drug. Now there are a wide series of drugs for oral administration, so the need for injections rarely occurs even with significant pain.
- When taking over -the -counter drugs, consult a doctor, if the pain persists for 48 hours, occurs again, intensifies or differs from the one that was observed earlier.
Local anesthetics
These drugs are used to prevent pain. They can be used externally and injectable. Local anesthetics block the passage of nerve impulses in the place of their administration, violating all the sensations with the nerves with which they are in contact. However, they do not violate consciousness.
- Local anesthetics are usually injected, but they can also be applied to the skin.
- Some local anesthetics are produced in the forms for injection to combination with epinephrine (adrenaline).
- Epinephrine causes narrowing of blood vessels and prevents the elimination of local anesthetic from the injection site. This lengthens the time of his anesthetic action.
- Local anesthetics in the form of creams and ointments are often used to painkille the skin before injection in people who are afraid of injections.
With local use of ointments, it is much easier to control their action, achieving the most pronounced favorable effect with minimal side effects. Preparations for local use are produced in the form of creams, ointments and lotions. When using drugs for local use, it is important to accurately follow the instructions, avoiding the excess of the recommended dose or longer than the application is necessary. This will avoid adverse effects associated with the absorption of a large amount of active substance in systemic bloodstream.
The main groups of drugs:
- buprenorfin
- codeine
- fentanil
- medaton
- trumadol
- paracetamol
- dolobene gel
Nonsteroidal anti -inflammatory drugs
NSAIDs reduce pain and inflammation in the joints with arthrosis, osteoarthritis, but do not stop their progression, therefore, additional treatment is often prescribed. The effectiveness of NSAIDs in different patients varies. Sometimes it is necessary to apply several different drugs until the optimal one is found. NSAIDs are also often prescribed to reduce pain in the shoulder joint, back pain, with gout.
The main NSAIDs:
- azeclofenac
- aspirin
- diclofenac
- diflunisal
- flurbiprofen
- ibuprofen
- indomethacin
- ketoprofen
- mephenamic acid
- meloxicam
- nabometon
- drings
- pyroxics
- tenoxicam
The use of simple analgesic agents with an anti -inflammatory effect relieves pain in most cases. In severe inflammation, injections of more powerful anti -inflammatory drugs are prescribed directly to the affected area. With severe progressive arthrosis of the shoulder joint, the use of anti -Russian drugs can stop the progression of the disease and reduce the severity of its symptoms.

I also have problems with the joints alas (
Valeria, so if I used to know that after 45 years the joints would begin to hurt, then I think it would have begun to follow them earlier. Now you won’t return the time. It’s good that at least a eight -eighteous doctor has prescribed pain. The product in tablets is easy to use, and the main effect of this product is good.
Zinaida, but I don’t even know which doctor to contact such a problem. Maybe just buy this tool in a pharmacy?
Lera, if you don’t know who to go to, then you should just contact the therapist. And he will redirect another doctor if he considers it necessary. For example, I was observed with the therapist. And eight -eight, I bought it in a pharmacy, but already as prescribed by a doctor. All the same, in my opinion, it is better to see a doctor first, and then treated.
