Ingabe amalunga akho nawo ayabuhlungu? Ake sixoxe nge-osteoarthritis!

Ingabe uzizwa uqinile kancane emalungeni akho uma uvuka ekuseni? Noma uzizwa ubuhlungu emadolweni nasezinqeni zakho uma ukhuphuka izitebhisi noma ume isikhashana? Lezi kungaba izimpawu ezivamile ze- osteoarthritis , isimo abantu abaningi abasitholayo njengoba bekhula. Ungakhathazeki, ake sixoxe ngalokhu ngokuningiliziwe .

Iyini ngempela i-Osteoarthritis?

Kalula nje, i-osteoarthritis uhlobo oluvame kakhulu lwe-arthritis . I-arthritis yisimo esithinta amalunga akho. Ngezinye izikhathi odokotela basibiza ngokuthi 'isifo samalunga esiwohlokayo'. Lokhu kwenzeka ngoba i -cartilage engaphakathi kwamalunga akho, efana nomcamelo othambile ovimbela amathambo amabili ukuthi angagudlani, iyaguga ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Lokhu kubangela ukuthi amathambo agudlane uma usebenzisa i-joint.

Cabanga ngale ndlela: iziphetho zamathambo emalungeni ethu zimbozwe ungqimba lwe-cartilage ebushelelezi neqinile. Le cartilage ifana ne -shock absorber emotweni. Iphinde isebenze njenge-lubricant yokugcina ilunga lihamba kahle. Ngakho-ke lapho le cartilage iphela, leso sivikelo siyalahleka futhi amathambo aqala ukukhuhlana.
