What is the difference between arthritis, arthrosis, gout and rheumatism?
Arthritis: Joint inflammation. Often used to indicate a group of more than 100 rheumatic diseases.
Arthrosis: Chronic, degenerative and non-inflammatory disease that primarily affects cartilage, causing it to fray, wear, ulcerate, and in extreme cases, disappear entirely, leaving a bone on bone joint.
Gout: Type of arthritis that results from too much uric acid in the body. This causes pain, swelling and tenderness in the joints. Gout most often affects the big toe but can also affect the ankle, knee, foot, hand, wrist and elbow.
Rheumatism: Used to describe any painful conditions of muscles, tendons, joints and bones.
What else can be done to reduce pain due to cartilage degeneration?
-Fast food, cigarette, on-going stress, upset glandular and immune systems are factors which influence muscular and joint inflammation.
-Special attention to your diet is recommended. As much as possible, avoid tea, coffee, alcohol, dairy products, eggs, red meat and fast food.
-Eat lots of fruits and fresh vegetables.
-Stretching exercises help maintain or recover muscle and tendon flexibility.
