Forms Of Treatment For Arthritis

Trying to figure out the best means to relief arthritis pain can
be frustrating. You can make your arthritis pain worse with
activities stressful to your joints and that require repetitive
motion when you already have severe joint damage. If you have
only mild joint damage, gentle exercise that includes stretching
and muscle strengthening can improve arthritis pain.



Arthritis varies from one person to another. You will need to
work with your doctor to determine the right solution and
exercise program for your specific situation.

Activities such as jogging and playing tennis that put sudden
pressure on involved joints are likely to make the symptoms of
arthritis worse. Swelling and inflammation may increase.
Exercises that strengthen your muscles protect your joints and
reduce stress and joint damage should be of help to arthritis
symptoms. Strengthening the muscles on the front and back of
your thigh, which are the quadriceps and hamstrings; helps
protect your knee and hip joints.

The key is to do what you can to stay physically active while
taking into consideration the condition of your joints. You may
be able to walk a good 30 to 60 minutes at a comfortable pace,
but you probably will have to give up high-impact activities
like running that puts a lot of stress on many different joints.
Swimming or other water exercise may be a better choice for
keeping active until you get toned if your joints are too
painful for walking.

People with rheumatoid arthritis often have stiffness after
rest. Movement tends to diminish some of the symptoms. If you
experience excessive stiffness after sitting for a long time you
can try adjusting your sitting position often to help prevent or
lessen some of this.

You should call your doctor if new pain or persistent pain
lasting more than several days occurs. Arthritis symptoms are
often more effectively controlled if caught early. If your
symptoms are most likely due to overdoing it and they disappear
in a few days you probably do not need to call your doctor.

Medications for arthritis are relatively safe and well tolerated
by most people. Keep in mind there is no medication that is
completely free of possible side effects. If you experience
regular arthritis symptoms you need professional advice from
your doctor about which medications to take and how much.

Medications available include:

•Tylenol
•Aspirin
•Ibuprofen
•Advil
•Motrin
•Aleve
•Naproxen
•Other anti-inflammatory drugs

Most of the above drugs can be purchased over-the-counter and
many of them do bring relief of minor and occasional arthritis
pain.

A weekend tennis player, gardeners and other people with mild
osteoarthritis can overcome some of the stiffness by taking an
over-the-counter NSAID tablet for one or two days.

If symptoms are prolonged and severe, joint involvement may be
more advanced. Your doctor is the best source to decide the
dosage that is right for you.

Alternative treatment for arthritis pain:

Heat, massage and stretching help relieve arthritis symptoms for
many people. The best of these treatments should have your
doctor or physical therapist’s approval. These treatments have
also been standard treatments and not so much “alternative”
treatment for arthritis pain.


It may take years to find an effective and safe medication for
your particular arthritis pain. If you try a shortcut standard
practice it may lead to harmful effects and wasted money, time
and effort.

Botox Injections:

It is unclear at this time whether or not Botox injections
improve pain and function in people with arthritis. Much more
research is needed to evaluate the findings of a very small
study that suggested injections with Botulinum toxin type A
(Botox) may improve pain and function in people with arthritis.

The study reported improvements in pain and function in all
participants, however the duration of these benefits varied from
three to 12 months. The results were promising and there were no
adverse reactions reported. There will need to be much larger,
controlled and randomized trials to determine the safety and
possible benefit of Botox injections for arthritis.

Antibiotics for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis:

Researchers continue to study the possibility that rheumatoid
arthritis may be brought on by some form of infection. If this
is true, it may be possible to prevent or stop the progression
of the disease with antibiotics. Studies of the usefulness of
antibiotic therapy have produced mixed results.

Effects of long-term use of antibiotics are unknown. Antibiotics
have many potential side effects, some of which are very
serious. More research is needed to determine if antibiotics can
be useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
