The disease is inherited nature and attack more men than women, especially those of mixed blood. There has been no cure, but the pain can be alleviated with painkillers. Physiotherapy is also necessary to flex the body rigidity.

Nothing felt weird by Atmanegara Interested to see his son "hobby" walking on tiptoe. He even thought it was funny, Like a little kid who saw just learning to walk. When growing up, was limping never changed. Interest began to fret. The habit of "strange" it has also changed the small fibula, which automatically also change the structure of the hips.

"In fact, he then suffered from inflammation in the joints. He started limping, baseball can walk, ankle swelling, and finally had to use a wheelchair," said the artist who now pursue gymnastics business. The climax occurs when the son was sitting in 5 th grade. "At that time, heard a knock, she was in pain due to vibrations caused that sound," recalls Interested.

At that time, then Interested aware, there was something wrong with her son's condition. Sure enough, after being taken to the doctor, he was convicted of genetic or rheumatic disease ankylosing spondylitis (AS). "The doctor said, if not immediately addressed, it is feared could happen permanently disabled," said senamnya Interested in the studio some time ago.

What actually genetic rheumatism? Chronic inflammatory disease that attacks the joints of the spine is an inherited disease and tend to attack those who are of mixed blood. "My father is native of Sunda, the mother of Germany. My husband's mother and Padang mixture of Dutch, while the father-in-law mix of Java and Switzerland. Maybe it was a contributing factor, "said Interested.

However, in addition to genetic factors, there are trigger factors. "Without the talent and trigger factor, a person would not have attacked the U.S.. Unfortunately, the trigger is as yet unknown cause," said dr. Harry Isbagio, Sp.PD-KR, Chairman of the Sub-faculty of medicine Rheumatology.

PAIN SYMPTOMS
Genetic rheumatic symptoms occur mainly starts at the age around 20's, even some who under the age of 20 years. Gradually, the disease will develop, usually until the peak occurs at age 40-45 years.

The main symptoms, lower back pain. "We also have to think someone is suffering from the U.S. if he is man, because the disease is more common in men than women," said Harry. Comparison of male and female patients about 8:1.

"Patients with this disease is a young man about 20 years of age who suffer from back pain continuously for more than three months," said Harry. The pain is not like the pain caused by accidents or other factors, such as caused by lifting too heavy. Symptoms can also appear before the age of 16 years, the so-called juvenile ankylosing spondylitis. It also experienced by the son Interested.

Early symptoms include pain usually worsens when the patient will wake up in the morning. Only after doing a lot of motion, pain is reduced. "These movements create a sense of stiffness and pain in the waist is reduced. The reason is, by moving, waist or other part that hurt was bent." What often happens, pain in the waist is considered as a regular back pain due to accidents, heavy lifting, or a pinched nerve. In fact, "There have been people who perform the operation because he thought the pain was caused by a pinched nerve."

Pain in the hip caused by a condition called entesopathy, which is inflammation at the site of attachment of ligaments to the spine. The ligament serves to connect the two vertebrae. Once the inflammation occurs long enough, there will be new bone formation, and two vertebrae could be fused. This unification process is slow, and each year will be repeating the merging of two vertebrae.

"This process occurs from waist to neck. Starting at the age of 20, and gradually, when the patient is 40-year-old, segments will converge. Unification process similar to bamboo, "said Harry.

Fused vertebrae which will cause the patient difficult to move the body. As a result, he was so hard to bend. And if it is bent, it is difficult reestablished. Or if the neck is attacked, look became an almost impossible job.

"To see, the whole body must come to move," said Harry. In fact, the weight level, the patient's body will be bent like a comma punctuation. People can not sleep on their backs because of his "warped," and forced to sleep on his side.

In addition to pain in the waist, rheumatism genetic peripherals can also attack the joints, ie joints central headquarters in the human spine. Peripheral joints are the knees, fingers, toes, elbows as well. This condition affecting 20 percent of the total number of patients.

"The most frequently attacked are the ankle, knee, hip, and shoulder. Typically patients complain of pain as well in that part, "said Harry. There is a possibility, pain in the waist and peripheral joints was also accompanied by another disease that attacks the eyes, skin, gastrointestinal, and other variants.

Do not underestimate the pain in the joints accompanied by swelling, redness, pain when moved and it lasted more than 6 weeks. It could be that it is a symptom of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). If not treated immediately, the AR can lead to disability.

Rheumatoid arthritis is actually different with rheumatic diseases. This disease is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic joint inflammation. Rheumatic inflammation caused by this hitherto unknown cause.

"There is a conjecture due to genetic factors, but there is also a mention because of infections and environmental factors that stimulate the immune system to attack normal body tissue," said Prof.Dr.Harry Isbagjo, Sp.PD-KR, Professor of Rheumatology Division Faculty of medicine / RSCM educational media in the event commemorating the World Day of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Jakarta (11/10).

Until now, experts are still seeking the cause of a disease that can cause this disability. "To be sure the disease has nothing to do with certain foods, such as in gout (uric acid)," said Harry.

AR disease can not be underestimated because it can damage the cartilage, bones, tendons and ligaments of affected joints. Patients with AR disease also often deformed joints so that the loss of mobility. In Indonesia, the number of AR estimated 0.1 to 0.3 percent of the population and more common in adults and women.

The main symptoms of this disease in addition to swelling and redness is a pain in many joints. "Most of the joints are attacked or left-right symmetry. Suppose the left shoulder and right or second hand parts," said Harry. Another distinctive feature is the presence of lumps (rheumatoid nodules) as well as a sense of fatigue.

Although the number of patients with AR slightly, but the disease is progressive and most cause of disability. "Damage to the joints have started to occur in the first 6 months and if left untreated defects can occur within 2-3 years," added the former Chairman of the Association of Rheumatology Indonesia.

According to Harry, the main treatment of AR disease is to improve joint function, prevent disability and disability. "There is no cure for this disease, drugs that now exist only to reduce symptoms and prevent disease progression.

Early treatment can prevent worsening of the disease proven AR. Therefore, people are expected to be aware of early symptoms of AR disease.

Arthritis Pain May Not Uric Acid

Rheumatic joint disorders are the number one disease in the world and the number of sufferers continues to increase every year. On the other hand, understanding and attention to this disease are still inadequate. Most people with arthritis assume joint and muscle pain they experienced due to uric acid. In fact, only 5-10 percent of rheumatic disease induced by uric acid.

"As soon suffer from joint pain, usually direct people to check uric acid levels. In fact, uric acid is just one of 100 types of rheumatic diseases. This understanding needs to be clarified," said dr.Bambang Setyohadi, Rheumatology Division Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia in the media event education of rheumatic disease conducted by Pfizer in Jakarta, (4 / 11).

Gout or uric acid is a type of arthritis caused by deposits of crystals of monosodium urate or uric acid that accumulates in the joints due to high levels of uric acid in the blood. To ensure that the pain experienced as an attack uric acid, necessary laboratory tests.

The characteristics of people affected by arthritis is a joint disorder that is persistent, pain during daily activities like walking, sitting, standing, and much more. Inflammation of the joints is also characterized by swelling, redness, stiffness, and even deformity.

Meanwhile arthritis caused by uric acid emerged as the inflammation attacks the joints that arise repeatedly. Typical symptoms of gout arthritis attacks are swelling, redness, severe pain, heat and movement disorders of the affected joints that occur suddenly (acute), which reached a peak of less than 24 hours.

"The disease gout is the disease of men. In women, estrogen will stimulate spending uric acid through urine uric acid levels are rarely so high. But once menopause, may increase uric acid," said dr.Bambang.

Arthritis Drugs Do Any Drink

Pain in the joints is the main symptom of rheumatic diseases. Therefore, the focus of treatment of rheumatic patients is pain control and reduce joint damage, one with pharmacological therapy or drugs.

Rheumatic drugs including the prescription and must be consumed in the long run, even a lifetime. Therefore, people are expected not to carelessly consume rheumatic drugs because of side effects is not trivial.

According dr.Bambang Setyohadi, Sp.PD-KR, from the Division of Rheumatology Faculty of medicine / RSCM, the general mechanism of rheumatic drug works in three ways, namely analgesics (pain killer), to relieve inflammation, and there are also drugs that work to modify the course of the disease .

"Rheumatic drugs must be consumed in the long run, because it affects the body. For example, damage the kidneys, liver, bone marrow pressure, and so forth. Just a pain reliever medicine if the often consumed would cause side effects," he said in a media event education about Pfizer rheumatic diseases held in Jakarta (11/04/2010).

That is why, according to dr.Bambang every two or three months have control arthritic patient to the doctor to monitor general health. Usually the doctor will ask the patient to perform a check of blood in the laboratory.

Although long-term consumption, but occasionally rheumatic drugs could be stopped. "Arthritis is not curable, but that does not mean the disease can not be eased or achieve remission phase. If the illness subsides, the medicine should be discontinued. It is therefore important to seek treatment regularly so that it can achieve a long remission," he said.

Joint Pain tortured bodies

The pain that bind most of the time to make Nina's almost dark and desperate eyes mengakhri life. If only he had not met with a physician who successfully diagnose the disease accurately, the 44-year-old woman may now live name.

Nina initially experienced pain since about 9 years ago. When I woke up from bed one morning, her feet were sore prickling needles. Nina initially thought it was just something unusual. But then, the pain is often felt in every morning and always disturbing activities.

Over time, complaints of joint pain was getting into. Nina was then consult their health condition to a doctor, and he was sentenced to suffer from gout. But the treatment the doctor never improve their condition. Nina was then decided to see another doctor, and this time he was sentenced to suffer from rheumatism.

From day to day, pain in the joints rather not go away from the body of Nina. Pain medications that the doctor is only able to reduce his suffering for a few moments alone. While all the joints in the body of Nina getting stiff and rheumatic pain, so that made him desperate.

Not infrequently Nina was moaning in pain endure. He often dropped, frozen and could not get out of bed in the morning for several hours because of all the joints felt very pains.

Suffering due to this addition, Nina was about to lose a lot of important things in life. His daily work as a clerk in an office of financial institutions in Jakarta practically disrupted. In fact, he was so upset because it could no longer serve her beloved husband as it should.

"I almost committed suicide because of incredible suffering. I am confused with this disease, let alone this condition I had almost eight years," said Nina, who met on the sidelines of a media workshop here on Monday (13/12/2010). Bright spot for Nina finally began to emerge when in 2008, he was referred to a Rheumatology specialist physician at a clinic in Jakarta. Based on the results of an intensive examination and laboratory screening, doctor sentenced Nina suffered from Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), a progressive autoimmune disease that is marked inflammation in the joints.

Through treatment and therapy treatment is appropriate, Nina can now spends his days better. Although not fully recovered from his illness, Nina is now able to move normally, although he still had to keep control on a regular basis.

Thieves life
According to Harry Isbagio, Indonesia Rheumatology expert who is also professor of the Department of Medicine Faculty of medicine-RSCM, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a rare disease found in Indonesia with a prevalence of about 0.1 to 0.3 percent in adulthood.

This disease can actually affect all ages, but the risk would be increased in adult age, where women are among a greater risk that is up to 3 to 4 fold.

AR disease is also often called the thief of life because its effects are extraordinary, ranging from loss of the economic side, discomfort, disability, disability and death. Ssudah joint damage usually occurs in the first six months of this disease and disability will occur 2 to 3 years if not treated lunjung.

"About 40 to 85 patients with AR will not be able to work after 8 to 10 years of onset of disease if not treated properly," said Harry in a workshop titled 'The Importance of Early Detection of Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact To Prevent Cardiovascular Disease' it.

Currently, about Harry, this is a problem in Indonesia is still the difficulty of early detection of AR because not all doctors can accurately diagnose and accurately. Often the doctor suspects the patient is only experiencing gout or arthritis based on the reporting of pain.

"There are about 100 types of rheumatic diseases that exist today, making it difficult to ascertain whether patients suffering from AR, especially for doctors who do not deal with rheumatoid every day," he said.

Although it looks limp when walking, Nina can now live their lives better. It uses the drug therapy DMARD (Disease-modifying Drug Rheumatoid Arthritis) biological species whose prices are still very expensive. Treatment aims to slow and prevent the progression of the disease.

"For a period of six months, the cost for the type of biological drug will cost about 60 million dollars. So this disease can indeed be very draining penderta the bag," said Harry.

AR therapy early and progressive, continued Harry, is necessary for the patient because since early treatment will determine the success of therapy. Although not able to cure disease or restore as usual, the therapy may improve patient quality of life better. It also prevents the risk of disability and the worse the risk of death.
