4 JOINT AREAS THAT ARE VULNERABLE TO PAIN AND DEGENERATION

11/30/2023 3:43:40 PM

Joints are the parts of your body where your bones meet. They allow the bones of your skeleton to move. In fact, joint pain can occur in many parts of the body, but joints subjected to tremendous pressure or a lot of activity are often at higher risk of pain and degeneration.  

Below are four joint areas that are often susceptible to pain and degeneration that you should notice:  

1. Neck and shoulder: This area is under tremendous pressure when supporting the head's weight, so you often experience pain, fatigue, muscle tension, or prolonged aches and pains.  

2. Lower back: Poor posture and injuries during daily activities are common causes of pain and degeneration in the lower back area.  

2. Hip joint: This area is responsible for movement and weight support of the upper body, so it is often susceptible to pain and degeneration.  

4. Knee: This joint controls the movement of the legs and is also responsible for supporting most of the body's weight, so it is susceptible to injury when performing heavy work or vigorous activities.  

Joint pain may affect the function of your joints and can limit your ability to do basic tasks. Severe, painful joints can interfere with your quality of life. If pain is interfering with your daily life activities, it's time to talk to a healthcare provider about the problem.

MASKED HYPERTENSION
Masked hypertension refers to a condition where a patient’s blood pressure (BP) appears normal (below 140/90 mmHg) when measured in a clinical setting but exceeds the threshold of 135/85 mmHg when measured outside the clinic, such as at home or with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) over 24 hours. The concern with masked hypertension is that it often goes unnoticed, yet it poses significant health risks. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as kidney failure, vision loss, heart failure, and an increased risk of stroke.
