Arthritis and polyarthritis is a large group of joint diseases of an infectious or dystrophic nature. In some diseases, arthritis can be the main manifestation of the disease, with others - one of its symptoms. Arthritis is a very common disease, which is often the cause of temporary disability or stagnant, in which it is possible to register for a disability group.

Causes, Types and Symptoms of
Distinguishes arthritis is infectious, dystrophic( associated with metabolic disorders in the body), traumatic, and arthritis, which are symptoms of other diseases. Among the of the polyarthritis of infectious origin, rheumatic polyarthritis is most common.
Rheumatic polyarthritis
It is characterized by acute pain in one to three joints, their swelling, sometimes reddening of the skin, a sharp or significant painful restriction of the mobility of the inflamed joints, a rapid and significant increase in temperature. In rheumatic polyarthritis, large and medium joints of the extremities( knee, ankle, elbow, shoulder, etc.) are most often symmetrically affected.
Smaller joints of brushes, spine, brushes suffer much less often.
Rheumatic polyarthritis is characterized by volatility, ie, a relatively rapid subsidence of the inflammatory process in some and its development in other joints, as well as the benign nature of the course of arthritis: the inflammation ends without clinically detectable residual phenomena( adhesions, stiffness) and without osteoporosis of the articular parts of the bone, than this arthritis differs for the better from infectious nonspecific polyarthritis.
Infectious nonspecific polyarthritis
The frequency is significantly inferior to rheumatic polyarthritis, and in severity it significantly exceeds not only it, but all other forms of arthritis.
The causes of this disease are not known exactly. Currently, scientists consider infectious nonspecific polyarthritis as an infectious-allergic disease. It is very likely that one of the reasons for its development is chronic nasopharyngeal adenovirus infection.
Infectious nonspecific polyarthritis usually affects people aged 20 to 40 years, women are more likely than men. The disease begins acutely with a sharp rise in temperature to 39-40 ° C and the appearance of pain in the affected joints. Joints swell, increase, deform, painful during movement and palpation, the skin above them has a fever. Symmetrical joints are more often affected: wrist, metacarpophalangeal, ankle, knee. In the area of affected joints muscle atrophy develops very rapidly, and it progresses with repeated exacerbations of the disease. In some patients on the extensor surface of the forearm, more often in the region of the elbow and on the front outer surface of the shin, subcutaneous nodules the size of a pea or beans appear, dense to the touch, insensitive and slow-moving.
In untreated acute nonspecific polyarthritis, it becomes subacute. With this form in the joints, residual effects are observed in the form of a small swelling and deformation, more clearly defined when comparing healthy and diseased limbs. Patients complain of a slight soreness and slight restriction of mobility in the affected joints. Very characteristic is the morning stiffness of movements, which first passes in one to two hours, and with the progression of the disease is delayed until dinner or even until evening.
The process is always exacerbated by colds, due to overwork and weakening of the body's immune forces. It often involves new joints. The second attack progresses, as a rule, rather sluggishly, but leads to more significant deformities and impaired function of the joints.
Traumatic arthritis
This disease occurs when a repeated mechanical microtrauma( work with a jackhammer, drill, etc.).Traumatic dystrophic arthritis is manifested by stiffness, awkward movements, blunt pains in the joints, muscles and peripheral nerves more in the morning hours or at the end of a day's work. Traumatic arthritis is usually not accompanied by changes in the joints, only when the joint moves in it there is a crunch. Sometimes bursitis, tendovaginitis may develop, but there is never ankylosis and contractures( movement restrictions in the joint).
Acute purulent arthritis
This is a very serious disease, with a high mortality rate. It develops due to the penetration of microorganisms into the joint cavity with cut, chopped and stab wounds, crushing injuries and gunshot wounds, sometimes as a result of injuries of the surrounding joints of soft tissues, when infected, the purulent process can pass to the capsule of the joint and spread to its internal( synovial) membrane.
For acute purulent inflammation of the joints are characterized by an acute onset of the disease, more and more intensifying pain, becoming unbearable during movements, and high fever. The patient tends to give the joint a semi-bent position, in which the joint cavity increases, and the accumulation of fluid gives less pain.
Complications of acute purulent arthritis develop when the purulent-necrotic process spreads onto the cartilaginous plate and the spongy substance of the articular ends of the bones, resulting in purulent osteoarthritis. In this case, purulent melting of the joint capsule may occur. Pus penetrates into soft tissues with the formation of phlegmon, which, as a rule, leads to sepsis and death.
Treatment of acute purulent arthritis can be therapeutic and surgical. In the first case, antibiotics of a wide spectrum of action, sulfonamide preparations and medicinal plants with anti-inflammatory properties are used. Simultaneously, general treatment is carried out aimed at increasing the body's defenses and suppressing the infection that breaks into the total blood flow. The affected joint, and sometimes the entire limb, should be in a plaster bandage. If there is no improvement, it is recommended that the joint be washed with antibiotics.
If the therapeutic treatment is ineffective, doctors will go on to complete amputation of the joint.
A very important moment in the prevention of acute purulent arthritis is the initial treatment of the wound with penetrating joint trauma: at least a primitive skin toilet around the wound, iodine lubrication, sterile bandage application and simple immobilization.
Treatment of arthritis: general treatment recommendations
Physiotherapy for arthritis
Therapeutic exercise is an indispensable component of complex treatment of arthritis in subacute and chronic periods. It contributes to the restoration of impaired function of the joints, has a general restorative effect. In the subacute period, active exercises are performed, first in the prone position, and then sitting and standing, along the main axes of movements in the joints. Physical development of joints is combined with respiratory exercises with gradually increasing load.
Of particular importance is therapeutic exercise in the treatment of chronic arthritis. Used gymnastics with the involvement of all joints in exercise. When the joints of the upper extremities are affected, the exercises are performed in a prone position, sitting and standing;when the joints of the lower limbs are affected - in the supine and sitting position;standing train the supporting function of the feet. Exercises can be active( with the use of various devices, sports equipment) and passive. Exercises on mechano-therapeutic devices are used as auxiliary ones. We recommend self-employment of patients for training affected joints up to 4-6 times a day for up to 7-10 minutes. It is advisable to conduct exercise therapy in combination with balneological and mud therapy.
Among the necessary for arthritis and polyarthritis are isometric exercises, in which the length of the muscles remains unchanged, and swimming. They stimulate the flow of blood to the joints and strengthen the muscles adjacent to them, without overloading the joint.
Various physiotherapeutic procedures( treatment with heat, cold, diathermy, ultrasound) are successfully used by naturopathic physicians, physiotherapists and chiropractors to restore the motor function of the joints and relieve pain in arthritis. But physiotherapy has a positive effect only with regular application. Scientists came to the conclusion that the beneficial effect of physiotherapy is that it helps to restore the necessary level of moisture in the joint capsule, which facilitates the release of degradation products and the assimilation of nutrients.

Nutrition for arthritis and arthrosis
When treating all forms of arthritis and polyarthritis, you need to follow a certain diet. The big benefit is brought to the patients by berries rich in flavonoids, such as cherries, blueberries, blackberries. An important role is played by food products containing sulfur compounds( garlic, onions, Brussels sprouts and cabbage).It was established that in patients suffering from joint diseases, a reduced concentration of sulfur compounds is observed in the body. When a patient with a medicine or food is injected with sulfur, his condition improves significantly.
Many diets have now been proposed for patients with arthritis or polyarthritis. The most famous is the diet of Ph. D. Norman Childers. It is based on his personal experience. Childers ruled out all the plants of the Solanaceae family from his diet and found that this simple restriction cured him of osteoarthritis. The scientist put forward the theory that arthritis, as well as a variety of other joint diseases, can develop in particularly susceptible people as a result of prolonged consumption of small doses of alkaloids in food contained in potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers and tobacco. Alkaloids inhibit the natural growth of articular cartilage and promote inflammatory joint degeneration.
To confirm his theory, Childers conducted an experiment on 5000 volunteers with arthritis who agreed to exclude from the diet all products from the Solanaceae family. Within a month, more than 70 percent of patients reported improvement in general condition.
Scientists have found that the inclusion in food of some food additives significantly improves the condition of patients with joint diseases. These additives include: cartilage extracts, sea cucumber, mussels, shark cartilage, vitamins C, E, B3( or nicotinamide), B5, B6, zinc, boron and copper.

There are many species and varieties of arthritis and polyarthritis, so this chapter will only treat the most common of them. Schemes for the treatment of arthritisInfectious nonspecific polyarthritisIn the treatment of this group of polyarthritis, the main components of the treatment are:
In the acute phase, patients need inpatient treatment with maximum sparing of the affected joints( tires, longet, plaster bandage). The effect on the overall reactivity of the body and on the allergic inflammatory process is carried out by taking the following drugs: Acetylsalicylic acid ( 0.5 g three times a day), Butadione ( 0.25 three times a day).Assigned also, Pirabutol , Reopyrin and Butapirin ( daily dose of 1 g). In the absence of a therapeutic effect, steroid preparations are added to the treatment: Prednisone , Prednisolone in tablets 5 mg( 3-5 times daily), Triamsinolone - 4 mg( 3-5 times daily), Dexamethasone - 0, 5 mg( 3-5 times per day). When the active inflammatory process stops, gradually reduce the dose of steroid drugs( for example, half the tablets every 5 days), which prevents the appearance of withdrawal syndrome. In addition to the above drugs, patients are prescribed ascorbic acid( 0.5-0.8 g per day), diphenhydramine - overnight. When the inflammatory process in any joint is delayed, intraarticular administration of hydrocortisone acetate( 40-60 mg for large, 25-50 mg for medium and 15-30 for small joints) is recommended. Currently, the treatment of infectious arthritis with quinoline derivatives( Delagil, Rezohinon, Chlorochil, etc.) is becoming increasingly widespread. With an isolated application, they are prescribed in a dose of 0.25 once a day after dinner. This method of treatment is especially shown in subacute and chronic processes. The medicine is cumulated and therefore the effect comes with a great delay - 4-8 weeks after the start of treatment. After removal of acute phenomena, you can start physiotherapeutic treatment: UHF, hydrogen sulphide baths, ozocerite, paraffin, mud therapy. Arthritis traumaticThe occurrence of this arthritis is associated with unfavorable working conditions, frequent injuries, hypothermia. Treatment: elimination of unfavorable working and living conditions, paraffin applications( 40-60 minutes), mud applications - 20-30 minutes, muscle massage. A special place in the treatment of traumatic arthritis is sanatorium-and-spa treatment in Pyatigorsk, Sochi, Sernovodsk. Arthritis metabolicDuring the exacerbation, complete rest, 1-2 days of hunger and plenty of drinking are recommended, as well as the use of hormonal drugs( ACTH 20 units twice a day, Cortisone 50 mg 6 times per day, butadione 0.15 g 4-5 times a day for 3 days). In the period of remission, an antipodal diet: the exclusion of products rich in purine bases( fried fish and meat, liver, brains, kidneys, sorrel, radish, beans, peas, spinach).See the treatment for gout.
