Sifaka imikhiqizo esicabanga ukuthi ilusizo kubafundi bethu. Uma uthenga ngezixhumanisi ezikuleli khasi, singathola ikhomishini encane. Nansi inqubo yethu.

Ukulimala kwamathambo

Uma ucabanga ngomhuzuko, mhlawumbe ucabanga umaki omnyama nohlaza okwesibhakabhaka esikhunjeni sakho. Lokho kuguquka kombala okujwayelekile kungumphumela wokuvuza kwegazi ngaphansi kwesikhumba sakho ngemuva kokulimaza umthambo wegazi.

Ukuhlanganiswa kwamathambo, noma ukulimazeka kwethambo, kwenzeka lapho unokulimala okuncane ebusweni bethambo. Ukuguqulwa kombala kuvela lapho kwakha igazi nolunye uketshezi. Ukwephuka, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kufaka ukulimala endaweni ejulile yethambo.

Kungenzeka ukulimaza noma yiliphi ithambo, kodwa kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi kwenzeke emathanjeni aseduze kwesikhumba sakho.

Ziyini izimpawu zomhuzuko wethambo?

Kulula ukucabanga ukuthi unemihuzuko ejwayelekile yansuku zonke uma isikhumba sakho sibukeka simnyama, siluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, noma nsomi. Ukulimala kwakho kungahle kujule kancane, noma kunjalo. Izimpawu eziphakamisa ukuthi ungaba nokulimazeka kwethambo zifaka:

• ukuqina
• ukuvuvukala kwejoyinti
• ubumnene nobuhlungu obuhlala isikhathi eside kunokulimazeka okuvamile
• unenkinga yokusebenzisa ilunga elilimele

Ukulimala okubandakanya idolo lakho kungaholela ekwakhiweni koketshezi emadolweni, okungaba buhlungu. Ngokuya ngokuthi ukulimala kwenzeke kanjani, ungahle ube nomonakalo emigudwini eseduze.

Ukulimazeka kwamathambo kungahlala noma kuphi kusuka ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kuye ezinyangeni ezimbalwa.

Yiziphi izinto ezinobungozi zemihuzuko yamathambo?

Ukulimazeka kwamathambo kuvamile. Noma ngubani angayithola. Amathambo okungenzeka ukuthi ulimaze lawa ngamadolo akho nezithende zakho.

Ukulimazeka kwethambo imvamisa kungumphumela wokushaywa okuqondile kuya ethanjeni, okungenzeka ngesikhathi sokuwa, kwengozi, noma sokuqubuka ngesikhathi somcimbi wezemidlalo. Ungalimaza nethambo lakho uma usonta iqakala lakho noma isihlakala.

Ungahle uthambekele kakhulu ekulimaleni kwamathambo uma okukodwa noma okuningi kokulandelayo kusebenza kuwe:

• Uyasebenza kwezemidlalo, ikakhulukazi ezemidlalo ezinomthelela omkhulu.
• Awugqoki okokuvikela okufanele.
• Umsebenzi wakho udinga amandla ngokomzimba.
• Ubamba iqhaza emsebenzini odinga ngokomzimba.

I-osteoarthritis

Uma une-osteoarthritis, amathambo ahlangana ngokugunana angaholela ekulimaleni. Ukwelashwa kwesifo samathambo kwesinye isikhathi kuhilela ukujova ama-corticosteroids ngokujoyina. Akujwayelekile, kepha imijovo ye-corticosteroid ingadala ukulinyazwa kwamathambo kwezinye izimo.

Kufanele umbone nini udokotela wakho?

Uma uthola ukulimazeka kwamathambo, kunzima ukusho ukuthi ngabe kuhlobene nenkinga ebucayi kakhulu edinga ukwelashwa. Kuhlale kungumqondo omuhle ukuthola umbono kadokotela.

Funa usizo lwezokwelapha ngokushesha uma kwenzeka okunye kwalokhu okulandelayo:

• Ukuvuvukala ngeke kwehle.
• Ukuvuvukala kuya ngokuya kuba kubi.
• Ubuhlungu buyanda, futhi ukudambisa izinhlungu ezithengiswayo akusizi.
• Ingxenye yomzimba wakho, efana neminwe noma izinzwane, iyajika ibe luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, ibande, futhi ibe ndikindiki.

Lezo zimpawu zingakhombisa ukulimala kwamathambo okunzima. Kwesinye isikhathi, ukulimazeka kwamathambo kuyingxenye eyodwa kuphela yokulimala. Ungase futhi ube nokuphuka noma ikhefu. Ukulimazeka kwethambo emadolweni kungasho ukuthi uqhume umsipha.

Ukulimazeka kwamathambo okunzima kakhulu kungaphazamisa ukugeleza kwegazi. Akuvamile, kepha lokhu kungadala ukuthi ingxenye yethambo ife. Uma ithambo lifa, umonakalo owenzekayo awunakulungiswa.

Yingakho kubalulekile ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho futhi ubike izimpawu ezingasoze zaphela. Udokotela wakho mhlawumbe uzokwazi ukuxilonga ukulinyazwa kwethambo ngokuya ngezimpawu zakho kanye nokuhlolwa komzimba.

Uma besola ukuthi unokulimala kwethambo, i-X-ray ingakusiza ukunquma ukuthi unephuka noma uqhekeke yini ithambo, kodwa ayikwazi ukusiza udokotela wakho ukuthola ukulimala kwethambo. Ukuthola ukuskena kwe-MRI ukuphela kwendlela yokwazi ngokuqinisekile uma unesibazi samathambo. Lezo zithombe zingakhombisa uma ukulimala kukhulu kunokulimazeka kwethambo.

Yelashwa kanjani imihuzuko yamathambo?

Qiniseka ukuthi uthola i-calcium eyanele

Ukuze uthole impilo enhle yethambo, udinga inani elifanele le-calcium. Abesifazane abaphakathi kuka-19 no-50, nabesilisa abaphakathi kuka-19 no-70 kufanele bathole ama-milligram ayi-1 000 (mg) ngosuku. Inani elinconywayo lenyuka laya ku-1,200 mg ngosuku kwabesifazane abaseminyakeni engama-51 nabesilisa ngemuva kweminyaka yobudala engama-71. Imithombo ye-calcium ifaka phakathi imikhiqizo yobisi, i-broccoli, ne-kale.

Qiniseka ukuthi uthola uvithamini D owanele

Umzimba wakho futhi udinga uvithamini D omningi ukusiza ukumunca yonke leyo calcium. Iningi labantu abadala abaphakathi kweminyaka engu-19 nengama-70 kufanele bathole amayunithi angama-600 amazwe (ama-IU) ngosuku. Lapho uneminyaka engama-71, kufanele uyikhuphulele kuma-IUs angama-800 ngosuku. Ukuthola ukukhanya kwelanga nsuku zonke kuyindlela enhle yokuthola uvithamini D. Izikhupha zamaqanda nobisi oluqinile nakho kuyimithombo emihle kavithamini D.

Uma ungacabangi ukuthi uthola i-calcium eyanele kanye novithamini D ekudleni kwakho, buza udokotela wakho noma udokotela wezokudla uma kufanele uthathe isengezo.
