  • Get to know the science behind what causes the stiff, creaky joints of the most common forms of arthritis and what you can do to prevent it.
    --
    The bad backs, elbow pain, and creaky knees so common in older people often aren't just “old age.” In fact, the source of this stiffness plagues many young people as well. The culprit is arthritis: a condition that affects over 90 million people in the U.S. alone. What makes arthritis so pervasive, and why haven’t we found a cure for it? Kaitlyn Sadtler and Heather J. Faust investigate.

      Medical science has been extremely rapidly evolving in the past few years thanks to new understanding and experimentation with cell growth, it might be in maybe 20 years or so we have actually found a way of creating self replicating cartilage cells that can be injected into the joint to stimulate new growth, or growing completely new cartilage in a lab that can then be used to replace damaged cartilage.
      Fundamentally the big issue with arthritis is there's no blood supply large amounts of cartilage within the body and blood flow is the main thing that stimulates tissue to repair and regenerate itself.

Hopefully they fins a way to retrain the immune system to stop attacking joints and organs. Since today's treatments only lower down the immune system leaving people immunosuppressed and at risk of severe infections.

      I have the same disease fro 10 years. Don't give up! Eventually you will learn to leave with the pain. Try to control your feeling and how external sources affects you. Autoimmune diseases are affected from out mood so if you are stressed or sad more than usual you will hurt. If you learn to control your emotions and learn to protect yourself the pain will be controlled as well. Seeing a therapist will help with the anger that I truly understand you are feeling. It helped me at least!

    Some years ago I had an accident and had to have surgery to get well. During the operation the surgeons saw that I had quite severe arthritis in several places. During rehab I met a really good doctor to talk about this. The one single thing he stressed was the importance of not becoming sedentary. And running, he said, was a lot better than swimming etc as it put stress on the joints and would lead to them getting better. First though I had to start proper strength training, lifting weights etc, in order to become strong enough in my knees, legs, back etc to be able to run and maintain good posture. So I did that while slowly increasing my mileage. A couple of years ago I started running barefoot. Today, the only times I experience any pain in my joints, back etc is when I have not been able to work out or run for some time, due work or being sick. As soon as I start again it only takes a few workouts and runs before the pain disappears. Physical exercise is literally the best cure for many of these conditions. However, one needs to start slowly and increase gradually, otherwise there is a risk of overuse injuries.

    I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when I was 17. I had been having symptoms since the age of 11 but it’s extremely hard to get a diagnosis in my country. It’s been extremely difficult for me, especially since I was told that if I hadn’t been keeping up with yoga (which I’m quite fond of) I would’ve been completely seized up by now.
    Fortunately I’ve been dating Methotrexate ever since, but I’ve been struggling very much with the symptoms of the medication. Today I decided to come to this video in the search of why there is no definite cure as today I had one of my worst flare ups ever during school. Throughout the day, my legs in particular just started to hurt so much. My knees felt as if they were crunching with every step resulting in me having to leave the school early.
    Nobody should have to suffer with arthritis, not the young or the old. I hope and pray that those doing their research will soon make a breakthrough and provide help to those in need. Until that day comes, I wish them the best of luck.

      It makes sense because the treatments for spondyloarthritis weren’t working well. My brother was diagnosed with EDS (Ehler’s Dahnlos Syndrome) and I’m hypermobile so I’m now being screened for connective tissue disorders.

    For some reason I never thought of arthritis as something to be cured before. I’ve only thought of managing and going into remission. I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis at 11 after spinal reconstruction (and hip and ankle surgery simultaneously). I was in near constant pain for 4 years until I went vegan, started exercising, grew into my spirituality, and changed to Cosentyx. I feel so blessed. Now I’m highly active, almost pain free, and am off all but one medications. By the grace of God.

    Hey Ted-ed
    I don't only enjoy watching your videos I also learn a lot. Your videos are crisp and so to the point. They explain the concepts in a much easy language and so almost everyone understands them. My mother has been lately diagnosed with arthritis and this video helped me a lot to understand this to a greater extent. I even would definitely love to share these uploads with my friends and family but the only problem is that they understand hindi and not english. Thereby I request you to also upload these kind of videos in hindi too. It would be a great help.

    One way to approach this problem is by the science of Macrobiotics.
    Extensive studies should be carried out to find countries or regions that suffer the least from arthritis and study history of the syndrome to find out when and where it started to manifest significantly etc.
    Then draw conclusions as to what foods, life style, or climate influence its spread.

    I used to be a softball player for a year and it was the best cause I really love to be active. It was summer when I was 11 when I noticed my left knee is swollen but it doesn't hurt. It was kinda uncomfortable cause when I'm standing I feel this bulge in my knee. Then after 2 days, I can't walk. It hurts so much. Then after a month it was my hand, my wrist, my finger and my elbow. In just one year. At 15, I can't anymore stretch all my fingers, my elbow, can't even bend my hand, and the worst part is my right leg that joint between my hip and leg. It's the worst. I can't walk and stand for too long. Now, my back is the one acting it always hurts cause of my improper way of standing and walking. I can't seem to explain this to other people but I'm glad they don't ask me why I look like this and all but I know they know something is wrong. Sometimes I wish I was dead. I envy those people who can do all these things I can't do. I've been trying to find people who's like me but I didn't find anything. I'm only 24 now and I'm afraid I won't make it 'til I'm 50.

    Physical therapy and the correct type and amount of exercise are extremely helpful for pain relief and prevention of further damage especially in cases of osteoarthritis. There are millions of research studies devoted to this treatment approach. I wish I could see the work of physios more highly regarded in the medical community since PT/physic is significantly cheaper than surgeries mentioned in this video, is a less risky option, and often can be just as effective.

    I have pondered for some time the importance of gut flora in the health of us. And speculated that the tree of life (and you don't have to necessarily take that in a purely people of the book way) may have resulted from the ingestion of, was a killing of the optimal flora in the gut. Having been a medical laboratory tech in a previous life (and yeah, I was that kid that wanted to go to the rain forest and look for useful plants before there was a movie) and having had an interest in such subjects for some time, I had a rather accidental experience (on going also) to test the model.
    I had an infection that I took a course of antibiotics for, and guess what? My gout and arthritis that I have been plagued with for some time, mainly in the lower extremities, that has been getting progressively worse over the years went completely away, for several months over the summer, and the symptoms had just recently started to reassert itself. So I figure what the heck, it worked the first time so I took another course of antibiotics, and guess what? Same result, the gout and arthritis both went away again. Now I could certainly have some other infection / microbial problem elsewhere in the body besides the gut (like Lyme disease for instance), but the most logical reason to me is that the antibiotics killed the bad flora in the gut that were producing toxins, specifically uric acid (though likely not limited to just).
    Guess what else? Doing a search, there are actually studies that support that that is the case with people with gout and other diseases, having different flora in the gut then people who are, shall we say, more inclined to normal health. Unfortunately, the study only suggested that a flora culture could be used to diagnose gout and these other diseases, not that changing the flora could actually alleviate the diseases. That might indeed be bad for business me thinks.
    Any hows, I also ordered a couple good prebiotics / probiotics (has 13 or so more strains, the more the better. I take at least two different brands just as a fail safe that one isn't active), and we will see how long or if the symptoms does come back this time. Also like to point out there has been other positive benefits to taking the probiotics. Less cravings all the time, weight loss, acne clearing up, clearer thinking, less fatigue, less problems with circulation, less getting tired after eating, less headaches, etc., etc., etc.
    I'm certainly not the first one to suggest that flora in the gut can have dramatic effect on good health (though it is rather intuitive if we actually think about it, just remember the last time you had a case of food poisoning? We certainly know it can have a very profound effect in making us sick in big ways, but nobody ever suggest it can have chronic effects), but I'm the only one I know (least at the time) to suggest that we might have lost "immorality" because we lost the right gut flora. Immorality, leastwise to what we live now, but who knows?
    And of course, nothing I have said is meant as medical advice. Just purely observations I have noticed of my own experiences and thoughts.

      Hi Zavon , I reccomend your mum visiting a functional doctor as autoimmune diseases are 60-80% of the time the result of lifestyle descions - so the functional doctor will find out why she has this autoimmune condition , solving the root cause. Do some more research, They're mostly not covered by insurance.
      2. Once you findout why your mum has a rheumatoid arthirits and the functional doctor acribes a plan. You can start rebuilding the cartilage.
      I myself have had knee cartilage damage from suffering from an eating disorder and have found this plan to workout if done consistently.
      My Cartilage has regrown through these factors:
      - focusing on strengthening and building my glutes (particularly the Gluteius Medius , as this muscle is responsible for the range of motion e.g. running, walking , jumping etc.) and by building this muscle your allowing the space between the knee cap and cartilage space to grow,- thus allowing regeneration.
      The exercise examples can be found here. (make sure to not do quad exercises because the quads are connected to the knee cap and therefore would add more pressure , which is what the glutes are opposingly doing as they become stronger.)
      gateway.physiotools.com/Print/P.aspx?PrintDataId=444d364c8ba44a1_C69A9BE1&PtVer=201901
      exercises should be for the muscle training 3-4x (in order to allow the muscle to repair itself.)
      Try the repetitve exercises everyday - work out whats right for you.
      - The key to how I got my cartilage to regrow was REPETITIVE MOTION. Eg I cycled on a stationary bike at minimum resistance - MAKE SURE THE SEAT IS AT IT'S HIGHEST. and then once I was able to perform that resistance, increased and repeated the process. You can also do this on a tread mill, by walking and the then increasing the incline and speed.
      - Thirdly, FOOD. FOOD IS YOUR MEDICINE. I personally have 3-4 eggs with cheese, pepper and spring onions. Have Kale, cucumber, brocoli, prawns/salmon, a cup of milk, - I suggets searching what the cartilage is made of and then find the nurients in the food.
      Have 3 meals a day. Stay Hydrated.
      - Forthly, Sleep , SLeep , Sleep. Your body needs the time to regenerate. I Sleep around 10:30 and have a nap mid-day for 20-30 minitues.
      I hope this helps :)
      In addition as you , do this , if you have crepitus, it will clear up or improve , as the cartilage is repairing.
