Arthiritis - The Curse of getting Old !!
One of the common problem that most of the older generation is facing is unbearable joint pains especially in knees, that makes them totally handicap With extreme pain on knees even with a slight body movement. And if you have a bulky upperbody the pain is going to be worse. Medically termed as Arthiritis. A person suffering from Arthiritis is unable to walk and face a lot of problem in climbing stairs.
Our knees are a complex structure which constitutes many important parts. Each of the parts are important for a smooth movement and reflexes.
As many knows my Dad underwent knee replacement surgery few days ago. He was in pain for many years and use to limb or take support to walk. With all god grace the surgery went well and Finally post the surgery he is recovering and started to do some physiotherapy.
What is Arthirities.
A pain on knees is called Arthirities. It is generally the inflamation on the knees. It occurs mostly to people above 50 years of age. Knee is an integral part of our body which support the entire structure, the flex on our knees is supported by a gel material called cartilage which libricates the bones and help os easy movement. Due to certain unknow reason the gel in the knees get exhauated which result in contraction on the knees causing severe pain.
The above images depicts the state of knees in normal body and also of a damaged knees. The comparision shows the deteriorating condition of knees due fhe Arthirities.
Arthirities are of 3 types :
Osteoarthirities : This is the normL wear and tear of the kneez.
** Rheumatoid Arthirities** : This occurs mainly due to loss of cartilage around the knees. The most common type of disease.
Post Traumatic Arthirities: This type occurs due to some accident or injury on your knees.
What is Knee replacement
The only solution to Arthirities is Knee replacement. There is no direct solution to get rid of the Arthirities problem. Surgery has been the only option to get over the knee problem.
In Knee replacement surgery, the damaged part of knees were replaced with artificial parts, therby providing support to the knees.
Knee replacement surgery is very expensive , and there is no gurantee the patient will get 100 % recovery. The operation is just conducted in order to lower the pain and help tye knee to carry on the body weight.
Finally , would like to add before going to get the k ee replacement surgery, do consult and take suggestion from an Orthpaedic doctor. Do not hurry up for the surfery as there are number on risks and complexities post surgery. Though the pain is unbearable but proceed only as per doctor advice.

you are correct when you say it is caused by inflammation. This is however something we can control and eliminate completely from our bodies if we change our dietary habits. Eat less inflammation causing foods i.e bread meat, tea, coffee, potatoes, pasta etc. Drink enough water and you body will rid itself of all the toxins and the joints will be less painfull.
How about drinking luke warm water. ?? I see all the junk foods were on your list....from my dad experience ...rice , curd are also curse in arthirities..

I don't have it! Thankfully but I worry that it might find!
Some people overwork their joints. However, if you have RA, there is not much you can do besides following treatment.
Yes thats true...i saw how mich my dad was in pain...

Nowadays even people of young age have started to complain about knees. Maybe the lifestyle is causing such issues. Good article.
Weight factor and too much strain on knees...it is advised to keep some knee movement in an interval..
