Arthritis Specialist in Lehigh Acres FL

An arthritis specialist is especially capable of detecting the early signs of arthritis, so you can go see one if you think you may have it. It can be difficult for a person to tell whether they have the condition since the common indicators (pain and stiffness) can be attributed to an active lifestyle, and it can take a while for the indicators to become apparent and lasting. Sometimes, however, a person will experience a quick onset of symptoms that persist.

If you have regular pain in and around your joints that doesn’t resolve by itself, then you may have arthritis and should see a professional about it. You might also have swelling, stiffness, reduced range of motion or similar symptoms.

Because arthritis is a chronic and degenerative condition, it worsens and will not go away on its own. The condition causes pain, inflammation, and damage in and around the joints, but it’s possible to slow the progression of the condition and manage its symptoms so a patient can live a healthy, active life. Early treatment is always best in slowing progression, so if you’ve noticed any of the signs or symptoms we mentioned above, go see a professional about it. You should also go see a professional if you’ve been living with arthritis or pain for some time now and you’re struggling to manage it.

Arthritis is a chronic condition, so it’s not possible to stop its progression, but progression can be slowed and symptoms can be controlled. There are lots of different kinds of arthritis and treatment depends on the type you have. For the kinds of arthritis that are inflammatory, like rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, a part of the treatment will be controlling inflammation. An anti-inflammatory drug will likely help with this. There are also medications for pain management. It may be best to have the ongoing support an arthritis specialist can provide.
