The mobility of our joints can be related to many factors

Our age has a major impact on the wear and tear on our joints. The first symptoms can appear after the age of 30, and so can the first pain and problems.

In addition to age, other factors also affect joint mobility. These include: gender, body weight, body temperature and overall health status. Women usually have higher joint mobility than men. Joint mobility increases with body temperature, so it is a good idea to warm up and do some stretching before exercising. A hot bath is also good. However, mobility also changes throughout the day, being lowest in the morning and gradually increasing.

Why do joints hurt?

Most often, people experience pain in the hips, knees, ankles and back, but any joint can hurt. There can be many causes, for example, their long-term overload, excessive physical exertion, illness or injury, weather change, etc.

One of the diseases not only of the joints, but of the bones in general is osteoporosisThis disease causes gradual thinning of bones, when pores begin to form in the bones and calcium is lost. It affects people over the age of 50, most often women after menopause. Patients experience severe joint and back pain, lose height, their backs become rounded, have less mobility of the chest and spine and increased bone fragility. Risk factors include calcium and vitamin C deficiency, alcohol consumption, smoking, low weight, chronic diseases, etc.

As you get older, you may also often suffer from osteoarthritis, when does it occur degeneration of articular cartilage due to excessive wear and tear and overloading of the joints. It mainly affects large joints, such as the shoulder joint or hip, but small joints in the hand or spine are no exception.

Rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis is another disease that can affect the joints. It occurs mainly in women between the ages of 20 and 50. It is caused by chronic inflammation and affects the joints of the fingers, hands and knees. It is manifested by pain, swelling, stiffness, changes in the shape of the joints and also general fatigue.

A chronic inflammatory disease called Bechterew's disease causes ossification of elastic tissues, which leads to limited or even impossible movement. It affects patients between 15 and 40 years of age, mainly men. Its occurrence is most common in the spine, hips, knees, ankles and shoulders. Patients experience reduced mobility, stiffness and pain in the spine, chest pain and inflammation of the joints, but also fatigue and pulmonary fibrosis.

One of the reasons why your muscles hurt may be excessive loadBut it can also cause pain injury, such as tearing or straining of muscles or ligaments. However, it can also be caused by stress, in which the body produces hormones that increase muscle tension and consequently sensitivity to pain. It is also necessary to consider whether it could be some kind of virus or infection, such as the flu or a cold. This can also really hurt our muscles.

How to take care of your musculoskeletal system so it doesn't hurt

I will say again that the basis is healthier lifestyleBut it often happens that in the flood of daily duties we forget about ourselves.

Try to stop, take a breath, and start your own. listen to your body. What he wants to tell you. Nothing hurts without a cause, whether physical or emotional. So, for example, if your calf hurts, it is clear that you will not work in the garden or play sports. Likewise, if you have a cold, do not rush to complete a series of duties and do not strain your body physically at all, but rather crawl into bed with a warm tea and give your body a rest. Believe me, I know what I am talking about.
