Some of the common arthritic symptoms are joint pain, stiffness, warmth, immobilization, and loss of range of motion, fatigue and inadequate blood flow. Two of the main types of arthritis are Osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). With Osteoarthritis, wear and tear damages the cartilage in the joints and causes friction between the bones rubbing together. Injury or infection usually causes Rheumatoid Arthritis. RA is an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack its own lining of the joints and membranes; this results in painful swelling and inflammation.
Arthritis causes significant inflammation of the joints. When arthritis affects the neck, back, hands, feet or hips, difficulties arise when trying to get through even the most menial daily tasks. The surrounding muscles begin to tighten as they try to overcompensate for the pain and protect the injured area. These tight muscles can create tension headaches, stiff joints, and impinged range of motion. Although exercising can be extremely beneficial for arthritis, the thought of movement is too much for many individuals. As time goes on, arthritis can make it difficult to maintain a normal lifestyle and perform the tasks necessary to live a high-quality of life. It also can lead to other interrelated conditions, such as hip and knee issues. If an individual needs a joint replacement procedure, learning to get around in an optimal manner, can require home health care.
