Symptoms of acute osteoarthritis

summary

Recently, I often feel sore in my leg joints, which may be caused by riding motorcycles. Sometimes my knee joints or elbow joints of my hands are painful, and the joints are obviously swollen when they are painful. I went to ask the doctor, and the doctor said it was osteoarthritis. Now the disease has a certain control, for the symptoms of osteoarthritis in the acute stage, I'll tell you.

Symptoms of acute osteoarthritis

Symptom one, pain: pain is the main symptom of the disease, but also the main cause of dysfunction. It is characterized by occult attack and persistent dull pain, which often occurs after activity and can be relieved by rest.

Second, joint activity can be limited by pain, and even pain can occur at rest. During sleep, due to the muscle damage around the joint, the joint protection function is reduced, and the pain activity can not be limited as when awake, so the patient may wake up with pain.

Symptom 3, morning stiffness and adhesiveness: morning stiffness indicates the presence of synovitis. But different from rheumatoid arthritis, the time is relatively short, generally not more than 30 minutes. Adhesiveness refers to the feeling of stiffness when the joint is still for a period of time, such as adhesiveness, which can be relieved by a little movement.

matters needing attention

With the progress of the disease, there may be joint contracture, instability, rest pain, weight-bearing pain aggravation. Dysfunction may occur due to mechanical atresia caused by poor joint surface anastomosis, muscle spasm and contraction, joint capsule contraction and bone spur.
