Joint
pain (gout, arthralgia, arthritis) is
an ancient disease. Joint is the part where two bones meet. There are
approximately 206 bones in a human body which are connected to one another and
they together with the joints complete the structure of our body.
Symptoms of joint pain
Having
joints pain in normal condition and especially while walking. Swelling, skin
getting hot, joints becoming stiff in the morning, etc.
Causes of joint pain
Carelessness
in eating and drinking (water etc.), wrong lifestyle
and sitting posture, deficiency of vitamin D, extraordinary weight gain, bone
injury due to accident, etc., driving a
car or riding a motorcycle carelessly and lifting weight, etc.
Joint pain and uric acid
Uric
acid causes pain in joints, especially in
foot joints. Uric acid is a normal chemical substance that is produced when our
food and liquid are digested and leaves our body through urination. When we eat
meat and bakery products in an increased quantity, the production of uric acid
increases and does not leave the body completely and starts accumulating there.
When its quantity increases, it starts to solidify in the form of the grains of
salt between joints and when we move, we feel pain in our joints. High uric
acid can also cause heart and kidney diseases. Low intake of water also results
in an increase of uric acid. High uric
acid is such a disease which can be self-controlled through prevention. And it
can also be treated with medicines.
Symptoms of high uric acid
As
a person places his foot on the ground after getting up in the morning he
starts feeling pain in the foreparts of
his feet and then different joints of his body.
