Arthrjtis

There are certain misconceptions and preconceived notions about orthopaedic problems. Some of these are

  • Massage Provides Immense Relief In Chronic Pain

Massage increases blood circulation in affected part and in turn reduces pain. However, in certain orthopaedic problems massage may aggravate local inflammation and may cause acute muscle spasm.

  • Prolonged Use of Lumbar Spine Belt And Cervical Collars Are Very Useful

Prolonged use of lumbar-spine belt and cervical collar leads to weakening of muscles and stiffness. The collar and belt should be used as per the advice of doctor and not indiscriminately.

  • Persons with Back Pain Should Sleep On A Hard Bed

Persons with chronic pain should sleep on a straight rigid bed. Mattresses that are adequately soft and give properĀ  Contours are useful. However, very soft mattresses with lumps and Irregular patches should be avoided.

  • Persons With Cervical Spondylitis Should Not Use Pillow

A medium sized pillow, which is comfortable, should be used. A very high pillow should be avoided.

  • Persons With Back Problem Should Never Bend Forward

Forward bending is restricted in acute phase of prolapsed disc. However, the forward bending muscles are biggest shock absorbers. As the problem gets under control, forward bending is recommended. If these muscles become stiff due to non-use, they will increase load on spine resulting in pain with slightest injury.

  • Persons With Orthopaedic Problem Should Be Given Complete Rest

Initially for few days the rest is unavoidable. However, care should be taken that rest does not rust the body. Prolonged continuous rest makes the muscles weak and in turn aggravates the problem.

  • Obesity Causes Arthritis

Obesity does not cause arthritis. However, in people with arthritis, being obese puts more burden on the joints and aggravates the pain.

  • Arthritis is Caused By Vigorous Exercise

Vigorous exercise does not cause arthritis. However joint injury or infection may cause arthritis. In case of persons with arthritis, vigorous exercise will aggravate pain.

  • Certain Foods May Cause Arthritis

Any type of food does not cause arthritis but pain in arthritis is aggravated by certain foods.

  • Too Much Exposure To Cold & Moist Weather Causes Arthritis

Arthritis is not caused but pain is aggravated by cold and/or moist conditions.

  • Pain In The Back Or Any Part Of Body Is Due To Arthritis

Pain may be due to injury or muscle sprain. Hence, pain in any part of body is not always due to arthritis.

Eczema Tips on How to Care for Your Skin

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Despite billions of dollars spent on research worldwide, medical science is still unclear about the origins of eczema. Typically, this skin condition is the result of an external substance which causes the problem. With baby eczema, the skin becomes red, flaked and cracked normally on the child’s face. In America anywhere between one in ten and one in twenty infants will experience this condition during childhood.

Strangely, this condition is short lived and in most cases it seems to cure itself before the child reaches the age of two. Unfortunately in a few children do not get over this problem and continue to suffer with it when they are adults. While people of any age can get this condition, it is most common in babies and young children. Although most sufferers have had this condition since they were five years old around a third contracted it before they were barely twelve months of age.

Baby eczema is easily recognizable because the infant wants to scratch itself owing to the red, scaly skin on their face, arms and legs and is the most common form, known as atopic eczema. A lack of moisture within the baby’s skin is often thought to be the trigger to atopic eczema, which is often a hereditary condition. Mothers must be watchful about the types of detergents their baby’s clothes are washed in as these are known to trigger inflammation. Some recent research has indicated that baby eczema may caused by babies that are weaned early so breastfeeding for a longer period be beneficial.

Other links have been found to a number of medical conditions including those of a respiratory nature. Food allergies, allergic rhinitis or mothers who also have an asthma condition are all reasons that could make it more likely that a child will suffer from this disorder. The number of childhood cases where food is responsible for the condition is considerable at almost 30 percent,however, if this is the situation, there is no longer any reason why the child should have it its diet once the problem food has been confirmed. some commonly implicated foods are:

Sea-FoodCream, Aloe vera and other milk productsWheatEgg based mealsFoods where peanut oil may have been used

Physicians are also aware that baby eczema can also be caused when the child is given antibiotics after their birth. The treatment with babies involves bathing in lukewarm water, and proper skin lubrication with hypoallergenic creams.To ensure they are comfortable they only dressed in natural cotton clothing once they have been bathed. Baby’s often scratch themselves so keeping their nails short is the way to prevent inflamed skin becoming infected from scratching. Antihistamines to ease the itching sensation can be prescribed by a pediatrician in more severe cases of baby eczema,some situations warrant the use of topical steroid creams but these cannot be used for extended periods. This is a difficult medical condition to not only control but overcome despite being a common complaint.
