Joint Pain In Early Age: Arthritis, which is commonly called joint pain or arthritis, is considered an old age disease, especially when the cold increases, this problem increases even more. However, in the present times, many young age people are also becoming victims of joint pain. Why are so many people falling victim to arthritis at an age that is often considered healthy? Let us try to get to the root of it and know the solutions to remove it from experts.
Why is arthritis making youth victims?
According to Dr. Ramneek Mahajan, Senior Director (Orthopedics) and Head of the Joint Reconstruction (Hip and Knee) Unit, Max Smart Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, Delhi, “Arthritis does not respect any age, however, Young people mostly suffer from Rheumatoid Arthritis, yet the presence of Osteoarthritis should not be underestimated. Surprisingly, many children and youth are suffering from Osteoarthritis, due to which they are misdiagnosed. The notion that this joint disease only attacks the elderly has been broken."
These reasons are responsible
According to Dr. Ramnik, many reasons are responsible for arthritis in youth, such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, participation in high-impact sports, joint injuries, genetic reasons, congenital conditions, and specific medical disorders. Many symptoms of joint pain can appear, for example, symptoms like tenderness, reduced movement, and stiffness in joints can appear even in childhood.
How to overcome this problem?
Dr. Ramnik said, "Arthritis can be cured only if you change your lifestyle, which includes low-impact exercise. There are many advanced treatments available for this, such as hyaluronic injections and platelet- Platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP. In severe cases, various types of surgeries can be resorted to, including arthroscopy or joint replacement, which is considered a last resort. If this disease is diagnosed early in the youth, then its ill effects in the future can be avoided."
