I-Osteoarthritis Ezinjeni: Izimpawu Nokwelashwa

Ngokusho kwe-American College of Veterinary Surgeons, i-osteoarthritis ezinjeni ivela cishe ku-25% wamacala. Ngokungafani ne-arthritis evamile, i-osteoarthritis ibonakala ngokulimala nokubhujiswa kwe-articular cartilage futhi ivame kakhulu kubantu abadala kanye nezilwane ezifuywayo ezindala. Ungazilandela kanjani izimpawu ze-arthritis ezinjeni futhi usize isilwane sakho uma siqala lesi sifo - kamuva esihlokweni.

Iqala kanjani isifo sokuqaqamba kwamalunga

Abantu, ikakhulukazi abagijimi, bathambekele ku-osteoarthritis ngenxa yokulimala kwe-cruciate ligament, isakhiwo esitholakala emadolweni, entanyeni, naseminwe. Cishe ingxenye yabantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65 bane-osteoarthritis, ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention. Umzimba wenja uba nezinguquko ezifanayo njengoba ikhula - uqwanga lwayo luwohloka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

I-cartilage isebenza njengento ebamba ukushaqeka phakathi kwamathambo. Lapho i-cartilage yonakalisiwe, i-cushion yokuzivikela iphukile futhi amalunga angaphansi kokuguga. Ukuzama ukunciphisa ukubhujiswa okuqhubekayo, umzimba wenza ukukhula kwamathambo amasha - ama-osteophytes, noma ama-bone spurs. Ngeshwa, leli thambo elisha alishintshi ngokuphelele uqwanga, futhi ilunga liba umthombo wobuhlungu obungapheli.

Inyonga, indololwane, namalunga edolo kuvame ukuthinteka ezinjeni. Njengoba i-University of Colorado Veterinary Hospital ichaza, ukuthuthukiswa kwe-osteoarthritis ngokuvamile kuyingxenye yesifo esivamile se-cranial-cruciate ligament. Ukuwohloka kwemisipha ngenxa yobudala, kuhlanganiswe nezici ezifana nezakhi zofuzo nokukhuluphala, kunomthelela ekubhujisweni kwayo kokugcina.

Izimbangela ze-Osteoarthritis Ezinjeni

Izici eziningi zingaba nomthelela ekuthuthukiseni isifo samathambo ezinjeni. Bangase babe nezinkinga ezihlangene ngenxa yezifo ezithathelwanayo ezifana ne-systemic lupus erythematosus nesifo se-Lyme. Izimo zofuzo, okuhlanganisa i-hip ne-elbow dysplasia, zingabeka ingozi eyengeziwe enjeni.

Ezinye izimbangela kulula ukuzinqanda. Ukukhuluphala ezilwaneni ezifuywayo kubeka ingcindezi engadingekile emalungeni futhi kuvame ukuholela ezinguqukweni zokuwohloka ngaphambi kwesikhathi. I-osteoarthritis ingenye yezinkinga ezihambisana nezinja ezikhuluphele, kanye nesifo senhliziyo, umdlavuza nesifo sikashukela. Ukulimala okubuhlungu kungenzeka kunoma ibuphi ubudala futhi kubangele i-osteoarthritis engapheli enja. Izingozi zomgwaqo ziwumthombo ovame kakhulu wokulimala kwamathambo okuholela ekulimaleni koqwanga.

Izimpawu Zesifo Samathambo Ezinjeni

Izimpawu ze-osteoarthritis ezinjeni ziyefana nalezo ezibonwa emakati. Ngenxa yokuthi amakati ayakuthanda ukugxuma nokukhuphuka izindawo eziqondile, abanikazi bawo bavame ukuqaphela ukuthi njengoba i-osteoarthritis yabo iqhubeka, benza kancane kancane. Ezinjeni, isifo samathambo singase sivele njengokukhathala noma ukuqina okuvamile. Hambisa inja yakho kudokotela wezilwane uma iqala ukubonisa noma yiziphi izimpawu ezilandelayo:

• Ukuqhuzuka.
• Ukuqina lapho usuka endaweni elele.
• Ukungafuni ukuhamba.
• Ukungabaza ukugijima nokudlala.
• Ubunzima bokukhuphuka nokwehla ezitebhisini.
• Ubunzima bokugxumela ifenisha noma ezimotweni.
• Ukuhamba okungeyona okwemvelo noma okubheke ohlangothini olulodwa.
• Ukukhala, ukugquma, noma ukuzama ukususa lapho ilunga elithintekile lithintwa.

Ukwelashwa Nokuvimbela I-Osteoarthritis Ezinjeni

Ngenxa yokuthi i-osteoarthritis ezilwaneni ezifuywayo ayikwazi ukuphulukiswa ngokuphelele, ukuvimbela nokungenelela kusenesikhathi kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukusiza inja ukuthi igcine isisindo esinempilo kusukela ngesikhathi izalwa kuyisici esibalulekile sokuvimbela i-osteoarthritis. Esinye isixwayiso ukuqeqesha umngane wakho onemilenze emine ngomchilo futhi umhambise ngentambo noma egcekeni elibiyelwe ukuze agweme ukulimala engozini. Uma isilwane sithengwa kumfuyi, kungcono ukuhlola bobabili abazali ngezinkinga zamathambo ezifana ne-hip dysplasia.

Naphezu kwemizamo emihle kakhulu yabanikazi, i-osteoarthritis ezinjeni ngokuvamile ayinakugwenywa. Uma udokotela wezilwane eseqinisekise ukuxilongwa ngokuhlolwa ngokomzimba, i-X-ray, i-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), noma i-computed tomography, bazoxoxa ngezinketho zokwelapha inja nomnikazi.

Udokotela angase anikeze imithi engeyona i-steroidal eqeda ukuvuvukala (ama-NSAID) noma eminye imithi edambisa izinhlungu nokunciphisa izimpawu ze-osteoarthritis. Angase atuse izithako zezempilo ezihlangene ezifana ne-glucosamine noma i-chondroitin sulfate, izingxenye ezimbili ze-cartilage. Ama-omega-3 fatty acids, esinye isithako esinikezwa izinja ezine-osteoarthritis, anezindawo zokulwa nokuvuvukala.

Nakuba izithasiselo zokudla okunomsoco ngokuvamile zitholakala phezu kwekhawunta, akumele nakancane zinikezwe inja ngaphandle kwencwadi kadokotela wezilwane. Yonke imithi kanye nezithako zokudla kungabangela imiphumela engemihle futhi kufanele ithathwe ngaphansi kokugadwa kwezokwelapha okuseduze.

Ezinye izindlela zokwelapha ezingezona ezendabuko kodwa ezingase zibe usizo zihlanganisa ukutshopa, ukubhucungwa umzimba, nokwelashwa nge-laser. Izikhungo zokuvuselela ezihlinzeka ngezinsizakalo ezinjalo zingase zinikeze i-hydrotherapy, izivivinyo ze-treadmill ezingaphansi kwamanzi, okuyindlela enhle kakhulu yokucindezeleka okulula emalungeni ezinja anezinguquko ezihlangene eziwohlokayo.

Ezinye izindlela zokusiza inja yakho

Ukudla okunomsoco kudlala indima ebalulekile ekuvimbeleni nasekwelapheni i-osteoarthritis ezinjeni. Udokotela wakho wezilwane angase aqale ancome ukudla okwehlisa isisindo somzimba noma ukudla okukhethekile ukuze asekele impilo yamalunga. Okunye kwalokhu kudla sekuvele kuqukethe izithasiselo ezifana ne-glucosamine, kodwa ngendlela enambitheka kakhudlwana nelula ukuyisebenzisa.

Ezimweni ezimbi kakhulu, kungase kudingeke ukuhlinzwa. Isibonelo, ukushintshwa kwe-hip okuphelele kubonise imiphumela emihle kakhulu ekubuyiseleni ukusebenza kwezimoto ezinjeni ezisengozini yokukhubazeka kanye nasezinjeni ezinokukhubazeka kokuthuthuka.

Ngaphezu kwezinketho ezinconywe udokotela wezilwane, abanikazi bezinja bangathatha izinyathelo zokuvimbela ekhaya ukuze baqinisekise ukunethezeka okukhulu kwenja. Izingubo zokulala ezithambile, amarempu azokusiza ukuba ungene emotweni futhi ungene ezitebhisini, omati abavimbela ukushelela ezitezi ezishelelayo bazosiza kakhulu isilwane sakho esifuywayo. Kungcono ukuvimba noma yiziphi izitebhisi ukuze inja ingasheleli futhi iwe, futhi uhlale uyibhekile ngenkathi uhamba emgwaqweni.

Ukubuka othandekayo eguga kungaba buhlungu kakhulu, kodwa ziningi izindlela zokumsiza aphile impilo ende, ejabulisayo nesezingeni eliphezulu emkhayeni. Bheka izimpawu zesifo samathambo ezinjeni ukuze ugcine isilwane sakho siphilile isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka.
