Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) – It’s Treatable – Dr. Ashish Badika

We are humans and we do have perceptions, we do make assumptions and whenever we come to know about any disease, we start googling it on the internet. The same is the case with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). People have many types of misconceptions or myths prevailing among the community due to incomplete information.

Many people know very little about arthritis, and they build several misunderstandings regarding its treatment and causes. Some think that it is an age-related disease. Some say that this disease is incurable. Some people say it has a costly treatment or it may need to get operated on. Some google it and lead themselves to wrong or incomplete information.

Those people who are suffering from it must know that this disease does need proper attention and neglecting it may lead to some serious problems in the body, and second that this disease is well controllable. Yes, if taken care of in its initial stage itself, the patient can move on to regular life very fast with the further continuation of the medicines under the Rheumatologist’s supervision.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Early Aggressive Treatment Keeps Away From Long Term Complications

A generation ago, rheumatoid arthritis pain quite often prompted distorted joints and extreme inability. However, the danger of incapacity can be drastically diminished when drugs that modify the immune system are begun at the start of the illness. 

Rheumatoid joint inflammation happens when the immune system attacks joint linings (synovial layers). The joints feel warm, swollen, and painful. Muscle aches and weariness may likewise happen. The beginning can be sudden involving swelling in just a couple of joints. 

Early diagnosis of RA 

At the point when joint pain and swelling starts see a doctor. Relentless aggravation can prompt changes that harm bone, ligaments, and tendons. Medicine can slow or stop this damaging process. The intensity of early treatment is helpful in the reduction of this disease. The more extended the active illness endures, the less likely it will respond to the treatment very fast. 

Exercise is very important for the treatment plan. A physical therapist can plan an exercise program to strengthen muscles, increase exercise limits, and keeps you away from joint deformities.

Rheumatoid Arthritis- Early Diagnosis, Best Results

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a condition that results in joint inflammation and pain. It occurs when the immune system malfunctions and attacks the joint lining (called the synovium). Typically, the condition affects small joints hands, elbow, shoulders, knees, or ankles, with the same joint on both sides of the body. However, rheumatoid arthritis can occasionally affect other body sections, including the eyes, heart, circulatory system, and lungs.

Rheumatoid arthritis is diagnosed in a variety of ways

Clinical parameters: Multiple Joint pains, joint swellings, and stiffness around joints in early morning hours

Blood tests: A positive blood test for Rheumatoid Factor and Anti CCP antibodies. High ESR and CRP gives a clue about active inflammations

X-rays/Ultrasound/MRI Scans: Changes in the x-rays of the hands, which are characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis. To diagnose early in doubtful cases Ultrasound of Joints and MRI scans are extremely useful.

The Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment

EULAR (The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology) published guidelines emphasizing the vital need for early identification and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. EULAR modified its procedures for early referral to a rheumatologist: If symptoms linger for more than six weeks, patients should seek care, and a rheumatologist should lead early management.

Additionally, the recommendations state that patients at risk of developing chronic arthritis should begin treatment with Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Medications (DMARDs) within three months after the onset of symptoms.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Don’t Delay Connect Soon with Rheumatologist

It is important to start the early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Early treatment will stop the progression of the damage to the joints. Rheumatologists assess the damage in the joints through clinical examinations, blood tests, X-rays, and MRI test reports.

How does the early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis look like?

The early treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is DMARD’s (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs). As the name is self-explanatory it modifies the disease process.  Pain Killers and low-dose steroids are used as an initial treatment and then withdrawn slowly. Do not get afraid of these drugs. Rheumatologists are well equipped to handle the drugs.

Advanced treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis can be used in patients not responding to the above treatment. Lifestyle changes are important in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

It has been recommended that people with rheumatoid arthritis make some lifestyle changes for better outcomes.

  • Start low-impact exercises: Start doing some low-impact exercises like stretching and yoga to recover from stiffness issues. 
  • Avoid smoking: People do smoking have a high risk to suffer from rheumatoid arthritis. You have rheumatoid arthritis then, quit smoking to reduce the damage.
  • Shed extra pounds from your body: You should start focusing on weight loss strategies.
  • Not major changes in your food habits are really required. Omega 3 fatty acids rich food are good for RA patients
  • Consult your rheumatologist to get the right treatment for you.
