We all have grown up hearing that once you age you will develop joint pains and that’s normal. But these joint pains and stiffness were prevalent among people over 60 years old which is now becoming  common in middle aged people as well. Considering people earlier were physically active throughout  their life span until they become old which has changed due to digitization. Teenagers these days are hooked on to their phones and screen time has increased because they are working, studying and entertaining themselves online. All this has increased the possibility of early arthritis. Earlier 50% of people developed joint pain in their 60’s. But a lot of people these days develop joint pains in their 30-40’s. Experts believe that all this can be reversed with healthy lifestyle choices. 

Types of Pain


It’s important to understand how the joint pain has started, so as to find solutions to manage it better. Joint pain is dependent on family history, physical activity levels, environmental conditions, history of injuries or trauma.

There are many types of arthritis, 2 of the most common are:

Osteoarthritis 


The most common type of arthritis is Osteoarthritis and it occurs due to overusing joints over time or after an injury. In this condition, the cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones in your joints wears out until bone rubs on bone.

Rheumatoid arthritis 

(RA) is an inflammatory condition where the immune system attacks the tissue that lines joints. Its symptoms include tender, warm, stiff, and swollen joints along with fever, fatigue, and loss of appetite.

Joints that are used the most like knees, lower back, neck, shoulder, toes, and the base of thumb are likely spots for Osteoarthritis, joint pain due to injuries and extra weight can also be the reason. Arthritis often starts with hands because of family genes, hand injuries, or heavy use of hands.

One should analyze the joint pain area where the pain can be felt, one can also pay attention to lifestyle habits to make some joint-friendly changes.

Quit Smoking
Smoking causes a lot of damage and it can harm every organ in your body. The damage can also affect your joints. One can also get RA and can also develop joint damage . Some studies suggest smoking makes knee pain worse due to Osteoarthritis as smokers most likely to have cartilage as compared to nonsmokers.

Lose Weight
One of the biggest factors to trigger joint pain is being overweight. Some studies suggest that every extra pound puts 4 pounds of pressure on the knees.

Active Lifestyle
Active Lifestyle on routine basis can help prevent pain with age and can also prevent further damage. Usually Intense activities that take a toll on your joints like running as compared to  low-impact exercises like swimming, walking, and biking. Weight training helps to build muscles that help support joints. Exercises that strengthens the core helps prevent falls and other injuries that might damage your joints. Try to maintain active lifestyle on routine basis for a painless life

Avoid Sugary Drinks
Sugary drinks can boost inflammation and lead to weight gain. It also makes you more likely to get Rheumatoid arthritis. On the other hand, drinking enough water can help to relieve from pain. Our joints have 70%-80% water, hence getting enough will keep the synovial fluid that will keep joints lubricated.

Healthy Eating
Once you start ageing eating healthy food is recommended to slow down the ageing process. Some foods can have a negative impact on the joints and can trigger inflammation, pain, and swelling. A healthy diet is good for joint pains which includes fresh fruits and vegetables and cooking from scratch to avoid processed foods.

Healthy Sleep
Decline in quality sleep can make joint pain worse. Nights full of restlessness can cause depression, worsen pain, and even develop arthritis that eventually leads to disability. When body doesn’t get enough sleep, it’s hard for the body to fight back against pain. Making sleep a priority starts with a set routine and good sleep hygiene.

Joint Pain Treatments


In a pre-existing joint pain condition, talking to the doctor is advisable. Treatments that can help include:

  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
  • Massage therapy
  • Physical therapy
  • Disease modifying medications (for RA)
  • Surgery
There are traditional treatments and alternative therapies that are also suggested for people with joint pains:

Glucosamine and chondroitin – Some studies suggest natural substances found in healthy cartilage that protects it from damage, may also help to stop inflammation. Some available products in the market includes supplements that are made from the cartilage of animals like cows, pigs, or shellfish. They can also be developed in the labs.

Fish oil – Lot of doctors recommend taking Omega-3 fatty acids help your body make chemicals that manage inflammation and can help ease stiffness. You can also get them from foods like salmon, tuna, and nuts.

There are some more procedures that people usually try when they have joint paints:

Acupuncture – It is an ancient Chinese healing practice found to be helpful for Osteoarthritis knee pain. Acupuncture therapists insert small, thin needles into certain points in your body to increase energy flow to the area. 
              
Visco supplementation – This Osteoarthritis treatment involves a doctor injecting hyaluronic acid basically a naturally occurring substance in joint fluid into the joint usually used for knee. This fluid lubricates bones to make them move easily together.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) – In this method doctors use patient’s blood platelets in strong doses to inject back into the joint. These platelets comprises hundreds of proteins known as growth factors which help speed up the healing response in your body. But there aren’t enough studies to report the success of this methodology.

Conclusion – Active Lifestyle and healthy eating habits with right diagnosis and treatment can help you live a long pain free happy life.
