How do I overcome knee arthritis?
The pain in arthritis caused by inflammation of the joint tissues. The inflammation needs to be treated otherwise how ever much pain killers you take they would not completely get rid of the pain.Inflammation occurs for a reason. Either the joint is overused or infected or it could be because of generalized effect involving systemic disease like stress related illnesses. Most common cause of knee arthritis is osteoarthritis. This is mainly caused by weight gain with excessive wear and tear in major joints. Multiple inflammatory conditions are associated with anxiety and depression. Anxiety and Depression alone create inflammatory changes in the body. People with depression commonly have elevated levels of inflammatory markers such as C reactive protein (CRP).Tissue Inflammation is also caused by chemicals we ingest in food and environmental exposure to chemicals.Therefore the best way to find relief from knee arthritis is not about choosing the strongest pain killer but taking a good look at your lifestyle and find out what is causing inflammation and eliminate the cause.
What is the best method for Rheumatoid Arthritis - Ayurveda / Allopathy/ Yoga or any else and Why?
I would like to clarify a few points regarding the disease and the treatment.First of all rheumatoid arthritis is not just a disease of joints, it’s a systemic disease due to an over-active as well as dysfunctional immune process. It can involve your vital organs such as lungs, heart, blood vessels etc. though joint disease is the most visible one to layman.Coming to treatment part: yes it is a treatable condition in modern medicine(what is referred to as allopathy here). Aim of treatment is to achieve remission and maintain that with or without medicines. (Some people get complete remission=cure, and others need medicines to maintain remission. As I already mentioned it’s not a disease of just joints, so aim is to alleviate the joint disease as well as to control the systemic inflammation and prevent vital organ damage. Medicines include conventional disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs(DMARDs) such as methotrexate, sulfasalazine, hydroxychloroquine which are cheap, effective as well as easily available. In non responders or those not tolerating same there are newer biological agents, but issue is cost.*Pain killers are used only for symptom relief and has no disease modifying effect.*Is steroids used in modern medicine? Yes sometimes a short course of steroids(say 2 months) may be needed as a bridging treatment, because DMARDs take 1–2 months to start its action. Long term steroids are rarely required that too in very low dose to cause any side effects.Coming to side effects: Yes Medicines are not completely free of side effects. The good thing in modern medicine is that the chemical molecule in each Medicine is known with its exact dose and also the side effects are well described. Hence your doctor will be aware of each of them and will be reviewing u periodically for both clinical examination and some lab tests so that the disease activity can be monitored as well as to look for any adverse events. Doses of your medicines are titrated as per the findings.That’s all about evidence based medicine.About alternative medicine you don’t know the exact chemical nature of what is given, they might say it’s an extract from a plant leaf/seed X? So how can you talk about the effect and sideffects of something which is not known? And what if treatment targets the joint disease alone?
