The dangers of bone hyperplasia

As the pace of life becomes increasingly faster, many people will gradually discover that there are some abnormalities in their bodies. They often feel bursts of tingling in the joints and increased fatigue. Many people do not take it seriously, but in fact, they may have bone hyperplasia. It is recommended to conduct timely examination and diagnosis to avoid developing into more serious diseases that affect our normal life.

Hyperplastic osteoarthritis refers to a chronic joint disease caused by joint degeneration and destruction of articular cartilage. Also known as degenerative arthritis, osteoarthritis and hypertrophic arthritis. Based on the chronic medical history, clinical manifestations and X-ray findings, synovial fluid examination may be performed if necessary to confirm the diagnosis.

The disease has a slow onset and no systemic symptoms, and most patients are middle-aged or elderly people over 50 years old. It often occurs in multiple joints, but can also occur in a single joint. The affected joints may have persistent dull pain, which worsens with increased activity and improves with rest. The pain is usually mild but worsens with lower air pressure and is associated with changes in climate.

The early symptoms of bone hyperplasia are lower back and leg pain, which are relatively mild. As bone hyperplasia becomes more severe, intervertebral disc degeneration, vertebral deformation, looseness and instability between adjacent vertebrae will occur, and the waist will feel stiff, painful and weak during activities. When lumbar vertebrae bone hyperplasia is very severe, the growths may stimulate or compress the spinal nerves, causing radiating pain in the waist, as well as low back, leg pain and numbness in the lower limbs.

Bone spurs in the knee joint affect human activities and are not conducive to daily exercise, thus easily causing continuous weight gain; in turn, the increase in weight increases the burden on the joints, aggravates the bone spurs, and further affects activities. As we all know, in many cases moderate exercise is beneficial to the control of medical diseases, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, osteoporosis, etc.

The most important and basic treatment for bone hyperplasia is to reduce the load on the joints and excessive large-scale activities. Therefore, patients should take care of their various joints, reduce the amount of activity, and delay the progression of the disease. Among them, obese patients should actively lose weight to reduce the load on joints and delay the development of lesions.
