Gathiya (Arthritis) Kya Hai?

Gathiya joints ki inflammation ko kehte hain jo dard, sujan, aur stiffness ka baais banti hai. Pakistan mein khaskar 45 saal se upar logon mein bohat common hai, magar rheumatoid arthritis kam umar mein bhi ho sakta hai.

Osteoarthritis (Ghisne Wala Gathiya)

Sab se common type — joints ke cartilage (gaddi) waqt ke saath ghis jate hain.

  • Ghutno, kolhon aur haathon mein dard
  • Subah stiffness jo 30 minute mein theek ho jaye
  • Movement ke saath dard barhna
  • Joints se cracking sound
  • Weight-bearing joints (ghutne, kolhay) zyada affected

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Autoimmune bimari — jism ka immune system khud apne joints ko attack karta hai.

  • Dono taraf symmetrically joints mein dard (dono haath, dono ghutne)
  • Subah stiffness 1 ghante se zyada rehna
  • Sujan, garmi, laali joints mein
  • Thakawat aur halka bukhar
  • Small joints (ungliyan, kalaai) pehle affected

Wajuhat Aur Risk Factors

  • Umar — osteoarthritis ka sab se bara risk factor
  • Obesity — extra weight joints pe pressure
  • Family history
  • Purani injury — sports ya accident
  • Autoimmune tendency — RA ke liye
  • Sedentary lifestyle

Ilaj

Dawaiyan:

  • NSAIDs (Brufen, Voltral) — pain aur inflammation kam karte hain
  • Paracetamol — mild pain relief
  • DMARDs (Methotrexate) — RA mein disease progression rokte hain, doctor prescription zaruri
  • Steroid injections — severe flare-ups mein joint mein direct
  • Glucosamine/Chondroitin — kuch logon ko faida deta hai (evidence mixed)

Non-Medicine Approach:

  • Weight loss — 5kg kam karne se ghutno pe pressure kaafi kam
  • Physiotherapy — muscles strengthen karke joints support
  • Low-impact exercise — swimming, walking, cycling
  • Hot/cold therapy — stiffness aur inflammation ke liye
  • Joint protection — heavy lifting avoid karein

Frequently Asked Questions

Osteoarthritis aur rheumatoid arthritis mein kya farq hai?
