What Is Osteoarthritis?

Funny Group Of Old People

Osteoarthritis (AH-stee-oh-ar-THREYE-tis) is the most common type of arthritis and is seen especially among older people. Sometimes it is called degenerative joint disease. Osteoarthritis mostly affects cartilage (KAR-til-uj), the hard but slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they meet to form a joint. Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide over one another. It also absorbs energy from the shock of physical movement. In osteoarthritis, the surface layer of cartilage breaks and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage to rub together, causing pain, swelling, and loss of motion of the joint. Over time, the joint may lose its normal shape. Also, small deposits of bone—called osteophytes or bone spurs—may grow on the edges of the joint. Bits of bone or cartilage can break off and float inside the joint space. This causes more pain and damage.

• Who Has Osteoarthritis?

  Osteoarthritis is by far the most common type of arthritis, and the percentage of people who have it grows higher with age. An estimated 27 million Americans age 25 and older have osteoarthritis.¹

  Although osteoarthritis becomes more common with age, younger people can develop it, usually as the result of a joint injury, a joint malformation, or a genetic defect in joint cartilage. Both men and women have the disease. Before age 45, more men than women have osteoarthritis; after age 45, it is more common in women. It is also more likely to occur in people who are overweight and in those with jobs that stress particular joints
• How Does Osteoarthritis Affect People?
• Osteoarthritis Basics: The Joint and Its Parts People with osteoarthritis usually experience joint pain and stiffness. The most commonly affected joints are those at the ends of the fingers (closest to the nail), thumbs, neck, lower back, knees, and hips.
  Osteoarthritis affects different people differently. It may progress quickly, but for most people, joint damage develops gradually over years. In some people, osteoarthritis is relatively mild and interferes little with day-to-day life; in others, it causes significant pain and disability.
  Although osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints, its effects are not just physical. In many people with osteoarthritis, lifestyle and finances also decline.

  What Areas Does Osteoarthritis Affect?

  

  Areas affect by osteoarthritis

  

  
  Osteoarthritis most often occurs in the hands (at the ends of the fingers and thumbs), spine (neck and lower back), knees, and hips

  Lifestyle effects include:

  • depression
  • anxiety
  • feelings of helplessness
  • limitations on daily activities
  • job limitations
  • difficulty participating in everyday personal and family joys and responsibilities.
  Fortunately, most people with osteoarthritis live active, productive lives despite these limitations. They do so by using treatment strategies such as rest and exercise, pain relief medications, education, and support programs; learning self-care; and working to maintain a positive attitude.
• How Do You Know if You Have Osteoarthritis?

  How Do You Know if You Have Osteoarthritis?

  Usually, osteoarthritis comes on slowly. Early in the disease, your joints may ache after physical work or exercise. Later on, joint pain may become more persistent. You may also experience joint stiffness, particularly when you first wake up in the morning or have been in one position for a long time.
  Although osteoarthritis can occur in any joint, most often it affects the hands, knees, hips, and spine (either at the neck or lower back). Different characteristics of the disease can depend on the specific joint(s) affected. For general warning signs of osteoarthritis, see the information box “The Warning Signs of Osteoarthritis.” For information on the joints most often affected by osteoarthritis, see the following descriptions:

  

  Osteoarthritis on hands

  Hands: Osteoarthritis of the hands seems to have some hereditary characteristics; that is, it runs in families. If your mother or grandmother has or had osteoarthritis in their hands, you’re at greater-than-average risk of having it too. Women are more likely than men to have osteoarthritis in the hands. For most women, it develops after menopause.
  When osteoarthritis involves the hands, small, bony knobs may appear on the end joints (those closest to the nails) of the fingers. They are called Heberden’s (HEBerr-denz) nodes. Similar knobs, called Bouchard’s (boo-SHARDZ) nodes, can appear on the middle joints of the fingers. Fingers can become enlarged and gnarled, and they may ache or be stiff and numb. The base of the thumb joint also is commonly affected by osteoarthritis.

  

  Osteoarthritis on knees

  Knees: The knees are among the joints most commonly affected by osteoarthritis. Symptoms of knee osteoarthritis include stiffness, swelling, and pain, which make it hard to walk, climb, and get in and out of chairs and bathtubs. Osteoarthritis in the knees can lead to disability.
  Hips: The hips are also common sites of osteoarthritis. As with knee osteoarthritis, symptoms of hip osteoarthritis include pain and stiffness of the joint itself. But sometimes pain is felt in the groin, inner thigh, buttocks, or even the knees. Osteoarthritis of the hip may limit moving and bending, making daily activities such as dressing and putting on shoes a challenge.

  

  Osteoarthritis of the knee

  Spine: Osteoarthritis of the spine may show up as stiffness and pain in the neck or lower back. In some cases, arthritis-related changes in the spine can cause pressure on the nerves where they exit the spinal column, resulting in weakness, tingling, or numbness of the arms and legs. In severe cases, this can even affect bladder and bowel function.

  The Warning Signs of Osteoarthritis

  • Stiffness in a joint after getting out of bed or sitting for a long time
  • Swelling in one or more joints
  • Crunching feeling or the sound of bone rubbing on bone

  About a third of people whose x rays show evidence of osteoarthritis report pain or other symptoms. For those who experience steady or intermittent pain, it is typically aggravated by activity and relieved by rest.

  If you feel hot or your skin turns red, or if your joint pain is accompanied by other symptoms such as a rash or fevers, you probably do not have osteoarthritis. Check with your doctor about other causes, such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Fish Oil - How To Choose The Best

The omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil are vital to your good health. However, many people have been led to believe that they'll get these same health benefits from oils like flaxseed, primrose, borage and perilla.

If you're one of these people - I'm sorry to tell you, but you've been misled by aggressive, hype marketing. 

What the plant based omega 3 oil manufacturers conveniently forgot to mention is that their products do not contain EPA and DHA, which are the omega 3 fatty acids that have been shown to produce all of the incredible results. Fish is nature's richest source of these two incredible fatty acids.

They also neglect to tell you that flaxseed oil is the exact same thing as linseed oil. "Linum" is Latin for "flax" and linseed oil is used to make furniture polishes, varnishes, printing inks, lacquers and linoleum flooring.

What To Look For In A Fish Oil Supplement

In order to be safe and to make sure you get all the health benefits of increasing the amount of omega 3s in your diet, you should only take fish oil supplements that meet the following criteria:

• Your fish oil must list the specific species of fish used to make the oil. Salmon, tuna, sardines and anchovies are the richest sources.
• Your fish oil must contain omega 3 fatty acids - not just "fish oil". They are not the same thing.
• It should list the total amount of EPA and DHA on the label. This should add up to the total amount of oils in the product. If they don't, you're being sold a bunch of filler oils (yuck!)
• The oil should be pressed from only the flesh of the fish. Don't accept products that are pressed from heads, tails or internal organs. Why would you want oil from the parts of the fish that humans don't eat?
• The fish used for the oil should be health screened and disease free. Make sure that the manufacturer knows exactly where their fish are coming from.
• Your fish oil should be guaranteed to be 100% pure. That means absolutely no toxins, heavy metals or pesticides.
• Stay away from fish oil that has been molecularly distilled. The distillation process alters the natural form of the oil. Yes, it may remove some of the toxins, but the oil is no longer in it's natural state. As a matter of fact, molecular distillation causes the oil to be oxidized and there's nothing worse for you than an oxidized oil. If your fish oil is molecularly distilled, you should be wondering how polluted the fish oil was to start with that they had to use such an aggressive purification process on it.

1. Dati sa gabi halos 3-4 times ako gumising para mag CR, but after taking this product in just 14 days, isang beses nalang ako magising at mag CR. - EUGENE, 52, Davao City

2. "I have been using this pill for about 2 months now, and I have been seeing some noticeable effects from it. I’ve been suffering from moderate BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) issues for quite sometime now, and my doctor had recommended a few pharmaceutical drugs to help treat it. I tried a couple, but used to get bad side effects from them. I made the switch to Pumpkin seed formula, and things are going great. I think this product works so well because of the high quality ingredients they pump into it. I have also tried a lot of over the counter pills to help with my prostate function, but this Pumpkin seed formula seems to give me the best results.

The prostate gland is a male reproductive organ. It is about the size of a walnut and is found at the base of the bladder. The urethra is a thin tube that allow the passage of urine out of the penis and run through the prostate gland. Many men experience urinary change as they age, which may be caused by inflammation or enlargement of the prostate gland, Troublesome urinary symptoms are sometimes, but not always, symptoms of prostate cancer.
