An irritable joint is a joint that has become swollen, tender and painful due to inflammation. This inflammation is often caused by injury, overuse, infection, or an autoimmune disorder. The most common type of irritable joint is arthritis, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
Symptoms of an irritable joint can include swelling, pain, stiffness, and redness in the affected area. Pain can range from mild to severe, and can be worse when the joint is used for activities such as walking, running, or lifting. The joint may also feel warm to the touch. In some cases, joint movement can be limited.
Treatment for an irritable joint depends on the underlying cause. For example, if the joint is inflamed due to an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. If the joint is inflamed due to arthritis, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be used to reduce inflammation and pain. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair the joint.
In addition to medication, rest, ice, and heat can help relieve the pain and swelling associated with an irritable joint. Exercise can also be beneficial, as it helps to strengthen the muscles around the joint and improve its range of motion. In some cases, physical therapy or occupational therapy may be recommended to help strengthen the joint and improve its function.
It is important to be aware of any changes in the joint, such as increased pain or swelling. If these changes occur, it is important to speak to a doctor to determine the cause and determine the best course of action.
