Aging is inevitable. As we age our body goes
through numerous changes. Greying of hair,
wrinkles on the face, weaker eye sight, joint
pains and what not. Anything and everything can
still be tolerated but the pain is something that
makes our life difficult. People spend days and
months undergoing physiotherapy and other massage
therapies to treat their ailing joints. They even
take various pain-killers which at some point of
time has various side effects on their
bodies. With time, technology has progressed a
lot and it has given us the privilege of getting
all the luxuries at our doorstep and eventually,
this has led to decrease in the physical
activities.

This weakens the bones and joints with time
making them prone to various problems like muscle
pulls, arthritis, knee problems, fractures etc.
The joint pains which occur in old people mostly
lead to arthritis. Arthritis in knees is one of
the commonly occurring problems in old age. There
are different kinds of arthritis like
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic
arthritis, fibromyalgia, gout, lupus etc. Out of
all these, rheumatoid arthritis is very common
among the age group of 30-60. Rheumatoid
arthritis for the knee is more like a chronic
auto-immune disease where the immune system of a
person dysfunctions and attacks the healthy
tissue linings of the knee joints and damages it
over time.

The damage of the knee joint tissue causes
inflammation, breaks the joints and leaves the
knee swollen. With the knee swollen and the
damaged tissue lining, it becomes very painful
for the patients to move their legs. The pain
caused can be treated with medications like
NSAID, aspirin and analgesics, but they might not
give you a permanent relief.

However, if these non-surgical methods fail, one
can move ahead with a knee replacement surgery
with proper consultation from the doctor or
surgeon. Dr Niraj Vora one of the best joint
replacement surgeons in Mumbai suggests that
after some tests and diagnosis, once the cause of
the knee pain is confirmed the suitable treatment
shall begin. The process is not of a complex
kind, as knee replacement surgeries are now
equipped with OrthAlign technology which enables
painless movement, precise alignment and early
recovery. Early recovery eventually saves a great
deal as you dont have to pay hefty hospital
bills for several days.

Dr Niraj Vora believes that OrthAlign technology
is a great help to surgeons and patients both, as
it gives the best results to the patients and
helps them lead a pain-free life. Painkillers
are an option for the patients but most of them
cause side effects. Researchers in India have
made a progress and given us easy access to new
medicines which have less or no side effects.
So, the knee replacement surgery should only be
opted for if these medicines do not work out well.

The fact being that no one can escape the
phenomena of ageing, one should start taking
proper care and involve themselves in physical
activities so that their joints remain
flexible. And for those who are already
suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, its not the
time to lose hope if the non-surgical treatments
are not working out for you. Knee replacement is
a hassle-free procedure and you can walk the next
day after your knee is replaced. So, its time
for you to permanently leave behind your painful
knee and enjoy a healthy life to the fullest.
