Osteoarthritis also called degenerative joint disease.This disease will effect joint especially in the knee area.This will affect the cartilage that covers the bones.The bones will rub against each other.The joint bones will feel pain so much.The main symptom is the occurrence of swelling in the joint area.Just like I have now.
This disease is called the elder disease.But lately, there are many cases occur to the young man, even to the child 4 years old.
Indeed, this disease is also an inherited disease.So when our parents or our ancestors infected by this osteoarthritis, then there is a chance that osteoarthritis will attack us as well.
This disease is not deadly.But osteoarthritis will restrict movement.When this osteoarthritis hits one of the knee,then another one might be affected someday.Then squatting is the impossible thing to do to the future.
Until now no one knows what actually causes osteoarthritis.But may be accident from the past might be a trigger.
Until now,there is no cure for this osteoarthritis.If there is medication for this,it is only pain killer or only to slow down the impact of osteoarthritis. NOT A CURE!
The medication also will create side affect.Especially if it is consume for prolonged time.
That is at least till now.I hope,we all hope,there is still hope to the future.
One of the treatment is to loose weight and have enough rest.
Early symptoms that may be felt is often cramps at the joint.Many peoples don’t realize this things.
Medical treatment is really needed for this, But not only medical treatment,also mental endowment.Especially when the patient is still young and productive.Because actually,there is no medication/cure for this osteoarthritis.And the worst is,it will be taken for life.
As I am one with osteoarthritis, strongly recommend, if you know anybody who suffer from osteoarthritis, Please,help their mental as well.Because first thing that happens to people with osteoarthritis is; down and even mental stress.
With this article I hope to share with fellow patients with osteoarthritis.
I my self just try not to remember that osteoarthritis i have.And it help a Little.

Rheumatism is a general term marked by inflammation.This can affect tendons,ligaments muscle.This disease is common to the elder.But it doesn't mean that is only to the elder,just like osteoarthritis,this can attack young people.
This could happen because of life style.Some people say taking shower during night time for long time can trig this disease.
