In a he althy person, no part of the body should hurt. Unpleasant sensations that prevent you from falling asleep are signs of poor he alth or illness. In particular, people of physical labor often complain of pain in the joints, especially in old age. Sometimes the same suffering is experienced by members of the younger generation. The joint hurts even for those people who are not familiar with physical work.
Why do employees get sick with rheumatism or arthrosis, not carrying heavy things, but sitting in a comfortable armchair at the monitor? It turns out that there is still a reason for the pain. They often suffer from the so-called geek syndrome. Sometimes it seems to them that the joint of each finger hurts. In fact, the discomfort comes from the tendons. At the same time, the nerves become inflamed, the pain evenly diverges along the hands of both hands. The reason is the constant work with the keyboard.
Often the joint hurts in people of physical labor. The cause is usually arthritis. It occurs due to malnutrition of the articular ends of the bones. As a result, aseptic necrosis appears.
But most often arthrosis does not occur due to heavy physical exertion. When a person is very nervous, his musclesbegin to tighten the joint. And from frequent pressure, the cartilage begins to collapse. As a result, the joint hurts, signaling a threat to he alth. But that is not all. Stress generates a large release of cortisol and other hormones into the blood. And this substance in large quantities can be harmful to he alth. Under its influence, the vessels squeeze the joints. This disrupts blood circulation and leads to the destruction of cartilage.
No need, however, to think that such an effect will occur if you once got very excited. No, stress must be experienced many times in order to eventually negatively affect the joint. The cause of the pain is a strong pressure on the cartilage, leading to impaired blood circulation in the capillaries.
Sometimes it matters how much you weigh. If you are overweight, it puts a lot of stress on your joints. Therefore, a fat man has a higher chance of joining the ranks of patients with arthrosis than a thin person.
Sedentary lifestyle does not pose a direct danger to the joints, only indirect, but very serious. If you do not move for a long time, as a result, parts of your body gradually wean from the loads. If suddenly you suddenly change your regimen, switching to physical work, your joints will be completely unprepared for this. From an unusual load, they can begin to collapse. To prevent this from happening, lead an active lifestyle, but switch to it gradually. And if you've been moving a little for a long time, then don't try to catch up abruptly.
Most often, people who are over forty suffer from arthrosis. Basically, these are age-related changes in the body. Arthritis is one of the diseases of the joints. This is inflammation triggered by immune failures or metabolic disorders. Sometimes arthritis develops after an infection.
If my joints hurt, what should I do? First of all, you need to go to a rheumatologist. You may have to be examined and undergo a certain course of treatment. The main thing is to eliminate the cause that can lead to joint defects. Be less nervous, lead an active lifestyle and do not expose an unprepared body to serious stress.
There is one good folk remedy for joint pain. It is necessary to grate the horseradish root, wrap it in a cloth and attach it to the right place, cover it with compress paper or film on top and bandage it. The compress should be done at night, in the morning remove and wipe the skin. The affected joint is best kept warm. You can do a similar procedure every other day so as not to cause burns.
A doctor should be consulted immediately in the following cases: if the pain is accompanied by fever, if the pain is due to an injury, accompanied by swelling that changes the contours of the joints. Medicines must be prescribed by a doctor. If they do not help, you need to see the doctor again.
