Don't let osteoarthritis torment you when you're too young.

It is no coincidence that in recent days, you have encountered many advertisements on Youtube about treating bone and joint diseases. If in the past, bone and joint diseases were mainly found in the elderly and people who do heavy labor, now they can appear in any subject, even in young people. Depending on the severity, the disease causes different consequences. To completely treat this disease, understanding the causes and signs of the disease is indispensable.

What is osteoarthritis?

This is the general name for diseases related to bones and joints with visible symptoms of pain and swelling in the joints. It causes the patient to be limited in movement.

For young people, specifically for office workers or gamers, the joints that are often affected and cause pain are the movable joints (in the arms and legs), semi-movable joints (in the vertebrae), and immovable joints (in the skull). Of these 3 types of joints, the movable joints and semi-movable joints are the joints that are easily weakened due to many different causes. When weakened, they cause bone and joint diseases.

Common types of bone and joint pain in young people

It is a sad fact that joint diseases are on the rise in Vietnam and are occurring in young people. The most common diseases are:

1. Arthritis: often appears in the hip joints, finger joints, wrist joints, knee joints, etc. In these locations, swelling and pain appear.
2. Osteoarthritis, spine: often appears in middle-aged and elderly people due to the wear and tear of cartilage and discs. In the joints and spine, there is a certain amount of synovial fluid, degeneration causes it to decrease, causing pain, stiffness, and dryness of the joints and spine.
3. Herniated disc: usually occurs in the lumbar spine and cervical vertebrae. This disease causes the nerves to be compressed and if left untreated for a long time, it can cause paralysis and muscle atrophy.
4. Rheumatoid arthritis: can appear in many different joints and is symmetrical on both sides. They cause swelling, pain, stiffness and more seriously can affect blood vessels, heart, lungs, etc.
5. Sciatica: causes pain from the lower back down to the feet.
6. Osteoporosis: bones become porous, brittle and very easy to break. This causes pain throughout the body and more seriously can cause other bone and joint diseases.

Signs that you have bone and joint diseases

The most obvious symptom of joint disease is pain, specifically:

1. Mechanical pain in the joints.
2. Every morning I feel pain and stiffness in my joints.
3. Joint pain every time the weather changes and worse at night.
4. The joint area shows signs of inflammation and redness.
5. Joint movement becomes difficult and flexibility is lost.

Causes of bone and joint diseases in young people

According to medicine, the cause of bone and joint diseases is due to blood stasis, not circulating. This is due to the consequences of obesity, lack of exercise, and lifestyle habits. Especially for young people, sitting for hours playing games in front of the computer makes you more susceptible to bone and joint diseases.

So how to prevent bone and joint diseases in young people?

1. Exercise and continuous physical activity help muscles and bones become stronger: swimming, cycling, walking, yoga.
2. The best posture for your joints is to stand up straight, avoid lying down for long periods, climbing stairs, sitting for long periods, standing in one place for long periods of time causes stagnant blood circulation and stiff joints. When sitting at work, keep your back straight, do not squat.
3. Besides, you should limit high-intensity exercise, avoid gaining weight quickly and always take advantage of vitamin D in the early morning sun.

On the other hand, the cause of bone and joint diseases in young people is often sitting in the wrong posture, sitting too much, sitting uncomfortably. Therefore, when choosing a chair for yourself, especially gaming chairs, you also need to choose the best chair, suitable for yourself and ensure your health.
