Periarthritis

Periarthritis is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding the joint (bursa, ligaments, tendons). This disease most often affects the shoulder joint, but can occur in other joints.

The causes of periarthritis can be different:

1. joint injuries and strain;

2. infectious diseases;

3. metabolic disorders and endocrine diseases;

4. osteocondritis of the spine.

The main symptoms of periarthritis:

1. pain in the joint area, worsening with movement;

2. limited mobility and joint stiffness;

3. swelling and hyperemia of the skin over the joint;

4. crunching or clicking sounds when moving the joint.

Diagnosis of periarthritis includes taking a medical history, examining and palpating the joint, and radiography.

Treatment is aimed at eliminating inflammation and pain and restoring joint function. Anti-inflammatory and painkillers, physiotherapy, exercise therapy, and sometimes puncture and injection of hormones into the joint are used. In chronic cases, surgical treatment may be required.

Prevention of periarthritis involves preventing joint injuries and timely treatment of diseases that cause secondary periarthritis.

Periartitis is a chronic disease of the joints and periarticular tissues.

Periarthritis disorders are manifested by a feeling of weakness and constant muscle pain. Physical activity and stress cause symptoms to worsen. People aged 40–65 years are most often aware of periartitis, but it is also quite common among young people. According to statistics, approximately 242 people out of 10 thousand people on the planet suffer from it. This makes the disease one of the most common.
