Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain Relief - An Overview
Rheumatoid arthritis
is a chronic, auto immune disease which causes inflammation, stiffness,
redness of the joints with pain. As this is a chronic disease it
can present for many years without any major difficulty. This disease
can affect people at any age, but the most susceptible age group
is forty to sixty. It can affect both sexes but the females are
at three time’s higher risk when compared with males. In America
more than two million people are affected by this disease. This
disease can also affect ligament, tendon, muscle and bone. This
disease can cause destruction of the joint thereby causing deformity
of the joint affected. The cause of the arthritis is not known.
The infectious agents like bacteria, virus, and fungi were suspected
but not proved so far. Some scientist believes that the tendency
to develop rheumatoid arthritis is genetically inherited. Some infections
or factors in the environment may trigger the immune system to attack
organs like lungs, eyes and joints there by resulting in rheumatoid
arthritis.
The environmental
factors like tobacco smoking also predispose rheumatoid arthritis.
There is no full proof cure for rheumatoid arthritis. The main goal
in the treatment is to mitigate the swelling and the pain, augment
the function of the joint and protect the joint from the destruction
and deformity. Early treatment and efficient management is essential
for better results. The treatment varies according to the age and
health of the patient and severity of the condition and type of
the joint involved. If the cooperation and understanding is good
between the patient and the doctor the recovery is fast. Two types
of medications are used in rheumatoid arthritis. They are fast acting
also known as first line drugs and slow acting also called as second
line drugs. The second line drugs are also referred as drug modifying
anti rheumatoid drugs or DMARDS. The first line drugs such as aspirin
and cortisone are used to reduce pain and inflammation. The second
line drugs such as gold, methotrxate and hydroxy chloroquine prevent
progressive joint damage but they are not anti-inflammatory agents.
