There’s no cure for arthritis, but there are treatments that can help you manage the condition. Your treatment plan will depend on the severity of arthritis, its symptoms, and your overall health.

🔰 Medication: Anti-inflammatory and pain medications may help relieve your arthritis symptoms.
🔰 Physical therapy: Rehabilitation can help improve strength, range of motion, and overall mobility.
🔰 Therapists can teach you how to adjust your daily activities to lessen arthritic pain.
🔰 Therapeutic injections: Cortisone shots may help temporarily relieve pain and inflammation in your joints.

01/29/2023

If you think you may have arthritis, see your healthcare provider. The provider will ask about your symptoms and learn how joint pain affects your life. Your provider will perform a physical exam, which may include:

👉 Assessing mobility and range of motion in your joints.
👉 Checking for areas of tenderness or swelling around your joints.
👉 Evaluating your overall health to determine if a different condition could be causing your symptoms.

Arthritis is a leading cause of pain and disability worldwide. You can find plenty of advice about easing the pain of arthritis and other conditions with exercise, medication, and stress reduction. How do you know what will work for you?

Pay attention to your joints, whether sitting, standing, or engaging in the activity.

👉 Keep your joints moving. Do daily, gentle stretches that move your joints through their full range of motion.
👉 Use good posture. A physical therapist can show you how to sit, stand and move correctly.
👉 Know your limits. Balance activity and rest, and don't overdo

Depending on the cause, these steps may help you feel better:

👉 Rest and elevate the painful area.
👉 Alternate between ice packs to reduce inflammation and heat to improve blood flow.
👉 Soak in a warm bath with Epsom salts or take a warm shower.
👉 Take over-the-counter pain relievers.
👉 Try complementary therapies, such as massage, meditation or acupuncture.

Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks itself. A healthy immune system fights off germs and infections.

Autoimmune diseases that cause muscle pain include:

👉 Inflammatory myopathies, such as inclusion body myositis and polymyositis.
👉 Lupus.
👉 Multiple sclerosis (MS)

01/23/2023

Myositis refers to any condition causing inflammation in muscles. Weakness, swelling, and pain are the most common myositis symptoms. Myositis causes include infection, injury, autoimmune conditions, and drug side effects. Treatment of myositis varies according to the cause.

🔰 Repetitive motion. People who work in occupations that require them to perform repetitive movements often strain the muscles in their necks
🔰 Poor posture. The average adult’s head weighs 10 to 11 pounds. When this weight isn’t properly supported by good posture, the neck muscles are forced to work harder than they should, which can cause strain.
🔰Poor sleep position. When you sleep, your head and neck should be aligned with the rest of your body. Sleeping with large pillows that elevate your neck too much can cause tension to build up while you sleep
🔰 Tension headaches. Tension headaches are mild to moderate dull headaches that typically affect the forehead. While neck tension can cause tension headaches, tension headaches can also cause neck pain and tenderness.

Get ergonomic. Adjust your workstation so that your computer is at eye level. Adjust the height of your chair, desk, and computer until you find the right fit

👉 Think about your posture. Improve your posture when sitting and standing. Keep your hips, shoulders, and ears in a straight line.
👉 Sleep on it. Improve your sleeping position with a smaller, flatter, firmer pillow.
👉 Take the weight off your shoulders — literally. Use a rolling bag instead of carrying heavy bags over your shoulders.

If you're bothered by neck pain, you have plenty of company. Doctors estimate that seven out of 10 people will be troubled by such pain at some point in their lives. But if you were to ask each of these people to describe their neck pain, you would probably get seven different stories.

By clearly describing your specific neck symptom or combination of symptoms, you can help your doctor determine what's wrong and how to help.

A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments — the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect two bones together in your joints. The most common location for a sprain is in your ankle.

The difference between a sprain and a strain is that a sprain injures the bands of tissue that connect two bones together, while a strain involves an injury to a muscle or to the band of tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone.

01/16/2023

Neck pain has many potential causes, including:

👉 As you age, natural wear and tear can cause parts of your cervical spine to deteriorate, or degenerate, causing pain.
👉 Overusing your neck muscles during repetitive or strenuous activities can lead to stiffness and pain.
👉 Tightening your neck muscles because you’re stressed can lead to neck pain and stiffness. Many people who tighten these muscles when they’re stressed or agitated don’t realize they do it until their neck starts hurting.
👉 Masses, including tumors, cysts, and bone spurs, can put pressure on the nerves in your neck, causing pain.

01/15/2023

👉 Poor posture can affect the neck muscles. People who find themselves hunching over their computer or slouching in their chairs all day may notice some neck tension after a while.
👉 Sleeping with large pillows can elevate the head too high, forcing the neck to bend forward. Staying in this position throughout the night may result in neck tension the following morning.

01/15/2023

Neck tension refers to neck pain that develops when the muscles in the neck cannot relax, which can lead to soreness, muscle spasms, and headaches. It has numerous possible causes, ranging from joint problems to inflamed nerves.

Hunching over a computer or looking down at a phone not only moves the head forward but also forces the neck to bend with it. This bending can overextend the muscles in the back of the neck, resulting in pain and inflammation.

01/13/2023

These steps may help prevent cramps:

👉 Avoid dehydration. Drink plenty of liquids every day. The amount depends on what you eat, your s*x, your level of activity, the weather, your health, your age, and medications you take. Fluids help your muscles contract and relax and keep muscle cells hydrated and less irritable.
👉 Stretch your muscles. Stretch before and after you use any muscle for an extended period. If you tend to have leg cramps at night, stretch before bedtime.

What are the causes of muscle aches?

👉 Stress makes it harder for the body to fight off disease. In people who are unwell and stressed, the muscles may ache as the body struggles to combat inflammation or infection.
👉 A person may experience muscular aches and pains because they are not getting the proper nutrition from their diet.
👉 A person who is dehydrated may experience muscle aches.
Drinking enough water is vital to keep the body functioning properly as it can quickly begin to shut down without adequate fluids.
👉 Strains, sprains, and other injuries can cause muscle pain and discomfort.

12/28/2022

Not all muscle aches are related to stress, tension, and physical activity. Some medical explanations for myalgia include:

👉 Fibromyalgia, especially if aches and pains last longer than 3 months chronic fatigue syndrome
👉 Myofascial pain syndrome, which causes inflammation in muscular connective tissues called fascia infections, such as the flu, polio, or bacterial infections
👉 Autoimmune disorders such as lupus, dermatomyositis, and polymyositis
👉 Use of certain medications or drugs, such as statins, ACE inhibitors, or co***ne.
