Crunch in the joints: what it means and than threatens
It is usually painless, although loud. Pain starts, then after five years and more crunch.
Published our bones the sound is not due to the appearance of any unusual joint substances. On the contrary, it is associated with the disappearance of there part of the substances necessary for its normal operation. The crunch is considered the initial stage of one of the two upcoming diseases – arthritis or osteoarthritis. In essence, the difference between these two concepts is so small and delicate that we can safely use more General term – arthrosis. At the stage of crunching the following occurs:
1. Metabolism in the joint is disturbed – usually slow. Possible causes – age associated with the cessation of active growth of tissues and the beginning of degradation (after 25 years). Then a sedentary lifestyle, leading to the degeneration of the muscles that support the joint. Then you have problems with posture and other parts of the skeleton. Such issues require payment of the total musculoskeletal system and create congestion on other parts. Because of that, after the pain in one vertebra of the back we have pain in other areas – especially in the lower back, pelvis, legs.
Finally, the reason for accelerated aging of this joint can be injured (even old), infection, a chronic overload of repetitive movements (representatives of “standing” professions, etc.).
2. The rate of destruction of parts of the joint with motion (erasing cartilage, extrusion of CSF from the joint capsule, etc.) becomes greater than the speed of their recovery alone. That is cartilage and tendons grow more slowly. And even during sleep or immobile composition and the amount of fluid in the articular capsule (the gap between “dressed” the cartilage ends of the bones) do not have time to bounce back.
3. The initial subtle violation is rapidly accelerated because at least nominal activity in our lives is always preserved. Even if it is limited to cleaning, walking dogs and lifting bags of groceries. After the launch of the first phenomena of degeneration we raise most of these bags in conditions when the muscles our a long time are not in the best form – it gave a start to the destruction of the joints, which from their shape depends directly. Now to the problems of muscles were joined by their the consequence of an exchange violation in the joint. Agree that even with full preservation of previous level of activity we continue to perform them in a much worse situation than before.
4. And all this leads to a logical result: the pressure lost part of their protein of the cerebrospinal fluid in the articular capsule is reduced. Disabled muscles sat up in the chair the man also does not help the joint to compensate this loss. Bones begin to converge and RUB against each other. While the cartilage that covers their ends, the whole, we’ll hear a single crunch. When he starts to wear off from too strong friction will start the pain. They are aching at rest and aggravated by movement. Or aching after active movements, combined with sharp flashes of sharp pain at a certain point in amplitude.
The first case, most likely, the doctor will call the arthritis and another arthritis. But it depends on the pattern of pain from the name and from features of destruction of the cartilage. In the first case, the layer to be gradually “melting”, but “melts” more or less evenly across its surface. In the second case, on the surface, in General, the whole cartilage is formed the phase of active destruction. Figuratively speaking, we have a whole field of cartilage erosion appears – a place where it does not. That’s when during the movement of bones, one of them hurt the other in this place, there is “cross”.
