Almost half of the people who are older than 60 have osteoarthritis. However nowadays there are cases when even young people, who are younger than 21 suffer from osteoarthritis also. Osteoarthritis appears because of mechanic damages of joints and cartilage, it attacks mostly knees, hips and backbone.
Joints usually serve as dampers, they reduce pressure on linked surfaces of bones and provide sliding of bones to each other. The bones are connected with cartilages, sheaves and sinews, which are flexible and allow to do movements in different directions. They are surrounded with the capsule that contains lubricating fluid. It provides nutrition of cartilage and bones. Inflammation of joints leads to different generative and iflamed processes.
With development of osteoarthritis the surface of joints gets thinner until its full damage, leaving the ends of bones not protected. Without any sliding surface it gets painful and difficult to move the joint, the cartilage continues to destroy and on side of the joint creates bones growth, which compensates the loss of the cartilage with the help of joints surfaces. This is the main reason of cartilage deformation, while osteoarthritis the joint losses its shape.
During a long time people thought that joints damages with time and during the whole life of a person, but nowadays doctors mark out several reasons that lead to the development of advanced damage of joints. Aging is the first reason, because while natural aging joints and bones loses its flexibility and losses resistance to loads, overweight increases the process of joints damage because of strong pressure, the body is not able to stay in such a state for a long time, the last one reason it is damages or injuries, this mostly attend sportsmen or people who got into accidents or got any other injuries of bones.
Acute symptoms of osteoarthritis sometimes can be invisible and can be seen only on X-rays, where can be obviously seen changes of bones. A patient can have instability and pain in joints, that passes away soon. Most of old people feel different attacks of pain in joints which also pass away soon or get weaker. Pain can be different, it can be sharp, whimper, it can limit the movement of the joint and can be felt only while movements.Swelling of the joint is another symptom, in any similar cases you must consult a doctor and get qualified diagnosis.

The illness could exist in any areas where sheep or deer graze (even if the animals have not been there for 5 years) – and, in fact, is present in most parts of the UK.
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS.
“Bulls eye” mark at the bite site is a classic sign — the first sign appearing days to weeks before other developing signs & symptoms. Character/mood changes. Fatigue, prolonged flu-like illness with muscle aches & spasms, rashes, headache. Pain, stiffness and swelling of the joints. Heart malfunctions & ‘Strokes’ possible with paralysis. If left untreated, permanent brain & organ damage may ensue. Severe permanent incapacity is possible – rarely consequential death.
TREATMENT.
Early use of antibiotics. No vaccination is available for UK strains. Look for the “Bulls eye” at the bite site. Carefully remove ticks with a ‘tool’ such as “O-Tom” – ensuring no parts remain in patient and thoroughly clean the site. Lightly dress the area. Get immediate hospital attention. An absence of positive results from blood tests does not mean that infection is not present. False negatives are most common.
AVOIDANCE.
Avoid infested areas. Wear tight close woven clothing. Wash & tumble dry all clothes after such a walk/ride. Do thorough visual checks of all body areas!!
- Lyme Disease in the U.K. is spread by both sheep & deer licks;
- The Illness is now endemic in the U.K.;
- 11 is estimated that 63 % of the world population are unknowingly infected;
- Only some 300 people are recognised as being infected in the U.K. annually;
- First infection is often undetected, but needs subsequent bites to raise the bacterial loading to create the rash or an effect ( one of many ‘illnesses’);
- The tick bite may inject just a strain of bacteria, or a protozoan may also be injected;
- The infection is definite when the patient depicts the classic rash;
- Infection can occur without the rash presenting;
- The rash may occur up to 30 days following a bite;
- The rash may itch or not itch;
- When the rash disappears – naturally or as the result of treatment – the infection may still remain;
- Treatment must be aggressive & prolonged – many months of antibiotics, anti-protozoan drugs, muscle relaxants. Colloidal silver is reported to be an effective alternative to medications. Muscle relaxants such as Soma, Carisoprodol to help with anxiety control and neck stiffness;
- It may present like Malaria, but often is misdiagnosed as ME, MS, Strokes, Aging, Arthritis, Cardiac dysfunction etc.;
- Alcohol, sugars & starches must be removed from the diet for the duration of treatment;
- Most phisicians are not aware of the illness, its serious consequences, or how to treat it. As the organisms ‘hide’ in deep tissue & encist, blood tests are usually a waste of time;
- The illness must be diagnosed from signs, symptoms, and above all a history.
