Deal with
arthritis

THE NORTH Shore branch of the
Arthritis Society, can provide in-
formation and support for those
dealing with arthritis.

‘The following are some common
questions and answers about the
disease.

Question: Arthritis - — what exactly
is it?

Answer: Arthritis is an inflamma-
tion of a joint. There are more
than 100 different kinds of ar-
thritis and the degree of inflamma-
tion varies considerably from one
kind to another.

Question: What’s the difference
between arthritis and rheumatism?
Answer: Rheumatism is a word
used to describe pain in or around
a joint that does. not necessarily
arise from the joint itself. Good
examples of rheumatism are the
aches and pains that accompany a
dose of ‘the flu, or the discomfort
you feel.after a weekend of paint-
ing, digging, or any other activity
that over-exerts the muscles that
aren’t used very often. The dif-
ference between arthritis and
rheumatism is that while
rheumatism often settles complete-
ly with a few days or weeks of rest,
arthritis demands more specific
treatment.

Question: What is the treatment
for arthritis?

Answer: Treatment varies accor-
ding to the type of arthritis and the
severity of the symptoms. Initially,
most types of arthritis require
medication to reduce inflammation
inside the joint and special exer-
cises to help restore its function.
