Andrie Leday, III, dispelled myths about osteoarthritis during the Black Health Matters Harlem Week Health Summit. He refuted the belief that the condition is automatic. \u201cWe don’t have to hurt as we get older, we don’t have to become immobilized as we get older. That is not a natural part of the human design,\u201d said Leday.<\/p>\n

According to the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research<\/a>, \u201cThis silent condition frequently remains undiagnosed until complicated by fracture.\u201d It impacts the joints.<\/p>\n

Leday described the many unpleasant pathways osteoarthritis takes to interrupt one\u2019s life.<\/h2>\n

\u201cIt’ll manifest in wear and tear in your joints and grinding away at your cartilage. You’re going to have symptoms like pain, stiffness, swelling,\u201d he said. \u201cYou’re going to see changes that develop slowly, and they only get worse. It does not get better, so any type of joint change that you’re going to experience is typically irreversible. And often it goes undiagnosed. Until it progresses to a point where it’s much more difficult to manage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leday noted that the condition goes further than the body by highlighting its emotional and mental consequences connected to the fact that \u201cOA may result<\/a> in impairment of social function.\u201d Isolation and limitation can trigger anxiety and depression.<\/p>\n

The Risks for Osteoarthritis That You Should Know About<\/h2>\n

The risks for osteoarthritis rise with age, but there are other factors to be mindful of, including genetic and lifestyle factors. Comorbidities enhance the chance of being impacted by osteoarthritis. Obesity is a significant risk factor, as added weight places stress on one\u2019s joints. \u201cOverweight women are four times more likely to have the risk of developing knee osteoarthritis,\u201d said Leday.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those who suffer from diabetes, that prevalence is actually twofold,\u201d he added. Osteoarthritis can also have an adverse effect on attempts to manage blood sugar in those dealing with type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n

Leday Explains Some of the Approaches to Osteoarthritis Treatment<\/h2>\n

Initial treatment typically begins with lifestyle changes, such as adopting an exercise routine. If that is not enough to keep symptoms at bay, osteoarthritis is treated with surgical intervention.<\/p>\n

Leday explained that there are different levels of surgical intervention, from \u201ca minimally invasive approach to relieve some of the strain of the osteoarthritis\u201d to full-fledged replacement procedures.<\/p>\n

He Also Mentioned When You Might Want to Consider Surgical Options<\/h2>\n

He identified major signs that you should consider surgical intervention. \u201cNumber one, if you can no longer complete your routine daily task without help. Number two is if you have significant pain, pain that keeps you awake at night, despite using medications, pain that keeps you from being able to walk or bend over, and pain that isn’t relieved by rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some studies have shown that Black patients face higher levels<\/a> of severe pain and a higher disability rate.<\/p>\n

Listen to Your Body and Talk to Your Doctor<\/h2>\n

Leday emphasized the importance of being honest with your healthcare providers about what you\u2019re experiencing. \u201cOne of the key notes that I’ve heard throughout these conversations and presentations today is to listen to your body,\u201d he said. It is not enough to listen to your body. You have to honor what it is saying at all times, even when it might feel slightly embarrassing or might make you feel like you\u2019re being a bother. Keeping a journal might help you communicate about what you\u2019re feeling to your doctor.<\/p>\n

He warned against admitting \u201cit hurts like the devil\u201d at home and downplaying discomfort as \u201ca little stiff but it’s all right, it’s not that bad\u201d while talking to doctors. \u201cBe honest with yourself and be honest with your provider when you go in,\u201d Leday added.<\/p>\n

Osteoarthritis is Degenerative: Seek treatment as soon as possible.<\/h2>\n

Seeking treatment for osteoarthritis symptoms as soon as possible is the only way to ensure the most positive outcomes. \u201cIt often provides pain relief and functional improvement, so early diagnosis and treatment are important,\u201d he said. \u201cDelaying surgery may lower your quality of life, as well as osteoarthritis is degenerative, so it won’t get better. It actually may get worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some people assume joints added through surgery are worn out quickly and will automatically have to be replaced. But he pointed out that things have changed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe advancements in implant technology have surpassed what they were many years ago, so the joints you have today will last much longer than previously understood,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

He shared that progress in surgical interventions can help patients reach their goals and live more fulfilling lives. \u201cWe literally just had someone just this past year with our joints in their body run the New York Marathon, so this is an opportunity to, again, extend life,” said Leday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity to keep it moving.\u201d<\/p>\n
