Arthritis is a chronic disease. The occurrence of chronic arthritis can cause joint pain and swelling, but the symptoms are generally not very obvious. The site of the disease is mainly caused by wind and cold. Changes in weather can cause joint pain to worsen, which is very harmful. Patients with key inflammation can slowly adjust their condition through some appropriate methods in normal times, but they should also pay attention to observing the symptoms of arthritis. What are the symptoms of arthritis? 1. Chorea: This symptom of childhood rheumatoid arthritis often occurs in young children. Generally, chorea rarely occurs in adolescents after puberty. The symptoms of this type of childhood rheumatoid arthritis usually occur after the age of 6, and are most common between 8 and 12 years old. 2. Polyarthritis: The symptoms of this type of childhood rheumatoid arthritis are characterized by multiple and migratory characteristics, mainly affecting large joints such as the knees, ankles, wrists, elbows, and shoulders. After treatment, children with rheumatoid arthritis can generally recover their joint function completely without any remaining deformity or ankylosis. 3. Rheumatoid arthritis pancarditis: As childhood rheumatoid arthritis progresses, the symptoms of childhood rheumatoid arthritis will invade all levels of the child's heart, seriously endangering the health of children with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis pancarditis includes myocarditis, endocarditis and pericarditis. This is just a brief introduction to the symptoms of arthritis. Arthritis itself is an autoimmune disease. Severe cases can cause joint damage and deformity, and even lead to disability. Therefore, the best way is to actively seek treatment after understanding its symptoms. 1. Drug treatment of knee osteoarthritis. For most people with osteoarthritis, mild to moderate pain can be managed with pain medication. It mainly includes various non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as selective COX-2 inhibitors (nabumetone, etodolac, etc.) and central analgesics such as tramadol hydrochloride. What must be noted during drug treatment is that we must be alert to the gastrointestinal side effects of some drugs, such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, perforation, etc., and some drugs may cause side effects such as platelet aggregation inhibition. Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are also often used clinically to treat osteoarthritis. These two drugs can enhance the absorption of nutrients by articular cartilage and maintain the toughness and elasticity of the joints. 2. Intravenous injection treatment. This is also a treatment method that can relieve joint symptoms. Commonly used drugs include hyaluronic acid preparations and glucocorticoids. The former has been used clinically in China for some time and has certain therapeutic effects. The analgesic effect of glucocorticoids occurs quickly. It is worth noting that intra-articular injection therapy is an invasive procedure. In order to avoid iatrogenic intra-articular infection, glucocorticoids should be used with caution. Surgical intervention should be considered if the symptoms of osteoarthritis are very severe, drug treatment is ineffective, and it affects the patient's daily life. For some patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, arthroscopic joint dissection has a certain short-term therapeutic effect after surgery, but the long-term effect is uncertain. Knee resurfacing surgery has a significant effect in relieving pain and restoring joint function for most patients with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. |
