 Hi, I am Dr. Gaurav Rastavi, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon in Manipal Hospital, Sivarka. Now I will be talking about arthritis, especially when we have World Arthritis Day today. The theme this year is Don't Delay, Connect Delay. And this is actually quite an important message. What happens now is people with arthritis, which basically means degenerative, deterioration or any problem in your joint, they keep on sitting on it. They keep on taking painkillers, they keep on taking alternative medicines and they just delay even visiting a doctor. And that's what causes problems because by the time people come to us, the arthritis has already advanced to a level in which most of people require some kind of surgery. If you do not delay it, if you approach a trained medical specialist sooner, then you may be able to salvage your joint. Then we may be able to do things like physiotherapy, like exercises, like medicines, which can help delay the arthritis. Also it's very important to find out what is the cause of your arthritis because there are some causes which are absolutely readable, like inflammatory diseases. So make sure that you don't delay and you connect today, connect to me. Also, if any of your family member is actually having quite advanced arthritis and has been recommended surgery, then you have to take the call, take the leap of faith and go for surgery. Because surgeries like joint replacement surgeries currently have very high success rates and people are generally happy after having their joints replaced.
