Joint Pain and Medical Interventions: A Survey

Abstract

Joint torment alludes to uneasiness, throbs, and irritation in any of the body's joints – including ligament, bone, tendons, ligaments or muscles. Most regularly joint torment alludes to joint inflammation, which is aggravation or torment from inside the actual joint. Many conditions and factors can cause a person to experience joint pain. If a person has pain in multiple joints, it is known as polyarthralgia. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease, and common symptoms include muscle and joint pain. Some diseases can cause joint pain i.e., Arthritis, gout, osteoarthritis etc. We did this survey to identify the priorities for joint pain research from a large general population survey, to know other stigmas associated with joint disorder also to know the current medication what the risk factors are (e.g., obesity) which can cause joint pain. We aimed to identify the clinical and non-clinical interventions. During our survey we found that obese people were more suffering from joint pain rather than healthy people. We also observed that many people try to get better through home remedies and very few visited the doctor frequently. The survey we did concludes that dietary changes were made to get relief from pain i.e., they avoid the consumption of high protein and sugar in food. We also concluded that most of the medications used by the patient were anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics. So joint pain can be decreased with the help of therapies like exercise, hot and cold, and by taking medications after proper diagnosis one can manage the disease appropriately.
