Busting Myths Around Arthritis

All that is natural is not good for you. So don’t let people who think that arthritis is a natural part of ageing stop you from seeking treatment.

With over a 100 different types of arthritis, it is not difficult to see why there are so many myths surrounding the disease. While some of the myths are amusing, others are downright deadly. Instead of relying on hearsay, it is time to get the facts right and set the record straight.

Myths and facts

1. While joint pain commonly occurs when you get old, it does not mean that you should adopt a fatalistic attitude towards it. Yes, you will no longer be able to run as fast as you could in your twenties. But you can try to live a normal life even if you have arthritis. Although old age and arthritis are irreversible, there are lots of things you can do regarding the risk factors.

2. While arthritis is inevitable, you can slow down its advent by making appropriate lifestyle changes. You can work on your weight since more stress you place on your joints, the greater will be the wear and tear. Sportspeople have a much higher risk of developing arthritis because of intense use along with the risk of injury. If you have weak muscles around the joints like the knees, it raises the risk of injury and arthritis.

3. Whether you have arthritis or not, you should be physically active. Earlier, arthritic patients were expected to take rest and not put pressure on the joints. Now there is a significant body of research which suggests that light exercise is important even for people with arthritis. The key is to do low-impact activities like cycling, walking and swimming.

4. How much you weigh plays a role in how soon you will have arthritis. Thus, losing even 5 pounds makes a big difference to the progression of the disease. A small weight loss can reduce the symptoms of arthritis like pain and stiffness.

5. Some people do not see arthritis as a major threat. Such people do not know that it is the most common cause of disability. About one in five adults are affected by some form of arthritis. With proper care, lifestyle changes and diet, you too can avoid arthritis.
