Inflammation is a Pain
admin | August 4th, 2010 - 9:49 pmInflammation is what happens when the body’s immune systems protect us from infection and foreign substances like toxins, bacteria and viruses. But, in auto immune diseases, the defense system inappropriately sets off an inflammatory response when there are no foreign substances to fight off and causes damage to itself.
Your immune system assaults normal tissues as if they are infected or contaminated. When inflammation happens, chemicals from your white blood cells are released into the blood and/or affected tissues for the purpose of ridding the body of alien toxins. This release of chemicals adds to the flow of blood to the close-by area and may result in heat, swelling and redness. Also, the inflammatory process may stimulate nerves and result in significant pain.
Arthritis is a general term that describes inflammation in joints. Some, but not all types of arthritis are the fallout from misdirected inflammation. Some types of inflammatory arthritis include:rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis and Gout .
While not all need to be present , the basic symptoms of inflammation are redness, a swollen joint that is warm to the touch, pain and stiffness in the joint and a loss of joint function. Also, inflammation might as well be associated with general “flu-like” symptoms like – feeling chilled or feverishness tiredsness and a loss of energy, headaches, stiff muscles and a loss of appetite.
While the original pain caused by inflammation can seem bad enough, the added cells and it can get much worse – in the long term wearing down of cartilage (cushions at the end of bones) and joint lining. Inflammation can also be a problem for organs. The type of symptoms depends on which organs are inflamed .
* An inflamed heart (myocarditis) may result in shortness of breath or leg swelling
* Inflammation of the narrow tubes that bring air to the lungs may set off an asthma episode
* Inflamed Kidneys (nephritis) may lead to high blood pressure or kidney failure
* Inflammation of the large intestine (colitis) might lead to cramps and diarrhea.
Pain may not be a primary symptom of the inflammatory disease, since many organs do not have a lot of pain-sensitive nerves.
There are several treatment alternatives for inflammatory diseases, but as a rule, the medical community will rely on prescription anti-inflammatories, pain medication, rest, exercise and surgery to correct joint damage.
The goals of treatment are to:
* Avoid or modify activities that aggravate pain
* Relieve pain with analgesics (pain-relieving medications ) and anti-inflammatory medications
* Maintain joint movement and muscle strength through physical therapy
* Decrease stress on the joints by using braces, splints or canes as necessary
What’s absent are any preventative steps or treatment courses designed to basically help your body by increasing your antioxidant levels , making dietary improvements , reducing stress in your life and neutralizing everyday toxins – because they truly are everywhere. Antioxidants will help your body to fight toxins and inflammation. Importantly, when you increase your glutathione – the master antioxidant (which your body actually makes itself), you will fight inflammation from free radical damage in every organ of your body.
