What Should You Know About Arthritis?
Arthritis
in its many forms (rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic
arthritis, juvenile, etc.) is a debilitating problem for millions
of people around the world. The problem is so widespread that
an organization, the arthritis foundation, was created to help
educate and find causes and hopefully a cure for the disease.
Many suffer from joint pain and discomfort in their ankle, knee,
hip, shoulder or many other places in their body. Early diagnosis
of the condition is always good good. Sufferers seeking relief,
remedies, and treatments will find no shortage of ways to deal
with the degenerative and chronic symptoms. There are prescription
and over the counter drugs and medications (like Celebrex, Celecoxib,
Ketoprofen, Oruvail, Orudis, Meclofenamate, Meclomen, Naproxen,
Naprosyn, COX-2 enzyme inhibitors, and NSAIDS to name just a few)
as well as natural alternative approaches like nutritional supplements,
vitamins, natural and herbal remedies (like MSM, chondroitin,
glucosamine sulfate to name a few more). Diet and exercise are
considered by many to be a significant part of the puzzle. Severe
and advanced cases sometimes require radical measures like joint
replacement surgery. If you search the Internet, you will find
no shortage of facts, knowledge and information on the matter,
some of it good, some of it... bad (at best). With so much study,
clinical tests from doctors and medical practitioners, and such
broad beliefs about the causes and cures for arthritis it is difficult
to know what the authoritative answer is. I certainly don't have
it. But... I've collected a broad range of information that I've
found interesting and informative. It's just a start, but I feel
we need to start by taking a high level look at the information
that's out there. This site is my humble attempt at this. Hopefully,
it's helpful to you.
