Orthopedic Problems That You May Experience
As we age, we tend to develop musculoskeletal problems that seem to worsen over time, such as arthritis. These problems frequently worsen at a slow rate that we do not know when to seek medical attention. Fortunately, your orthopedic doctor understands the issues you are dealing with as an active adult. Most orthopedic problems are identified using a combination of imaging tests and a review of your medical records. Physiotherapy and the use of anti-inflammatory prescription drugs are two treatments that your Westfield orthopedics doctor may recommend. Surgery is considered when all other treatments have failed to provide relief.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is an intense pain condition that impairs the body’s muscles and soft tissues. It can impact your neck, shoulders, back, chest, hips, buttocks, arms, and legs. The pain is likely to be worse in the morning and evening. The pain can last all day in some cases. Activity, cold or damp weather, anxiety, and stress can aggravate the pain. People between the ages of 20-50 are more likely to be diagnosed with this condition.
Arthritis
Arthritis and other inflammatory conditions are common ailments that cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility. They have an impact on the joints and connective tissues throughout the body. Millions of individuals in the US have arthritis. Arthritis is defined as joint redness and swelling (inflammation). When two or more bones are combined, they form a joint. There are many different types of arthritis. Rheumatic diseases are any condition that causes pain, stiffness, or swelling in the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or bones. Women are more likely to endure arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. These conditions are common in the elderly.
Cubital tunnel syndrome
Cubital tunnel syndrome occurs when the ulnar nerve becomes inflamed, swollen, and irritated as it passes through the cubital tunnel (a muscle, ligament, and bone tunnel on the inside of the elbow). Cubital tunnel syndrome results in pain that feel similar to hitting the “funny bone” in your elbow. The “funny bone” in the elbow is the ulnar nerve, which runs through the elbow. The ulnar nerve runs from the side of your neck to your fingers.
Low back pain
Low back pain can vary from mild, dull, and annoying to persistent, severe, and disabling. Lower back pain can limit mobility and interfere with normal functioning. Acute (or short-term) and chronic low back pain are the two types. Acute low back pain can last anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. The majority of acute low back pain will go away on its own. Chronic low back pain lasts more than three months and frequently worsens.
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis develops in older individuals when their bones either do not produce enough new bone cells, reabsorb too much bone tissue, or both. Because of the tiny gaps in the bone tissue caused by this condition, your bones become brittle and weak. Since the bone can suddenly crack and collapse, you are more likely to suffer a fracture. Pain can also be caused by osteoporosis. If it affects your vertebrae, you may lose height or develop a stooped posture.
