Arthritis: signs and treatment at home

Why does degeneration of the hip joints occur

Coxarthrosis is a destructive dystrophy, covering the hip joints. The disease leads to thinning of cartilage and proliferation of bone tissue, reducing the free space in the joint. Bone deformity, touch, abrasion, bring unbearable pain. With hip arthritis, it is not possible to identify symptoms and treatment by themselves.

Self-medication, one person begins to get sick, is at risk of becoming disabled. If degeneration of the second hip joint is treated with conservative and folk methods, it only takes surgery to cure it in the 3-4 stage. Therefore, treatment must be agreed with the attending physician.

Reason

Diseases are divided into two categories:

  1. Primary coxarthrosis diseasedevelops spontaneously. The disease mainly occurs in old age. Its cause is age-related destructive changes in the joints.
  2. Secondary joint diseasecauses comorbidities, causing excessive stress to the joint.

Secondary causes of coxarthrosis include:

  • various injuries;
  • lifts and carries weights;
  • inadequate physical activity;
  • femur head birth defect;
    • dysplasia
  • ;
  • overweight;
    • metabolic disorders
  • ;
  • endocrine diseases;
  • a hormonal imbalance;
  • inappropriate nutrition;
  • blood disease;
  • cartilage necrosis;
  • persistent stress;
  • arthritis;
  • hypothermia;
  • acute respiratory diseases and other viral infections.

The hip joint deformation is divided into:

  • one way;
  • double sided.

It is often accompanied by gonarthrosis, a destructive degenerative lesion of the knee joint. In this case, the course of the disease will be much worse. Both diseases simultaneously affect the joints of the left or right leg.

Symptoms

symptoms of hip arthritis

Doctors distinguish four levels of disease. Each stage has its own characteristics. In the early stages, the disease does not cause much anxiety. The second stage of the disease is accompanied by severe discomfort. In later stages, the joint hurts a lot.

Class I Signs

During the early stages of development, the disease is almost asymptomatic. Patient complains of the following sensations:

  • mild pain occurring in the morning and after prolonged exertion;
  • lie in the hip joint.

Primary signs don't bother people much, they ignore them. Although during this period, the fact is to delay the destruction of joints, preventing the development of severe complications. For the treatment of grade 1 joint disease, it is enough to use folk remedies. They are effective against disease.

Grade II mark

In the second stage, the disease becomes apparent. Its symptoms are as follows:

  • increased joint pain with sudden movements;
  • after sleeping, movement is restricted;
  • increased crunch.

Grade III mark

In the third stage the bursa becomes very thin. Bone tissue proliferation occurs. In this case, the following markers are observed:

  • pain can't be stopped;
  • the crack was so strong that it could be heard from afar;
    • Restricteddevelopmental stages of hip joint disease
  • movements;
  • has changed her gait;
  • limping occurs.

Treatment of hip degeneration of the 3rd hip with drugs and folk remedies does not have the desired effect. The patient needs surgery.

Level IV Signs

In the final stage, the match disappears. A person is deprived of the ability to perform movements. However, he suffered severe pain that was unable to relieve the pain with pain relievers. Surgical intervention helps to cure the disease.

As coxarthrosis flows with gonarthrosis, the situation worsens: pain occurs simultaneously in both joints. Gonarthrosis also goes through four stages of development. In degree 1, it is treated with folk remedies. In stage 2, complex therapy is performed. In severe cases, with the development of 3-4 degrees, the disease is treated with surgery.
