Research suggests the following:

• Women are more likely to have Osteoarthritis of the Knee and thumbs
• Women are more likely to get rheumatoid arthritis
• Women are more susceptible to footwear-induced ankle sprains than men
• Women tend to suffer more often from fibromyalgia

Biologically, there are several situations for women (unlike men) that demand additional care to manage today's fast paced multi-tasking lifestyle. This means that her healthcare and fitness needs differ greatly from those of a man. Let's discuss some of the more intense orthopaedic problems that women suffer from than men.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME: is the name for a group of problems including numbness, pain, tingling, especially in early mornings and weakness in the hand. It is often the result of swelling inside the carpal tunnel, which places pressure on the median nerve.

WHY WOMEN: Research suggests that because women's wrists are on average, 10 % narrower due to which women can be more susceptible to crowding in the carpal tunnel passage. Hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause can also contribute to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and are exclusive to women. Women also suffer more often from thyroid problems which are directly linked to Carpal tunnel syndrome.

TREATMENT: wearing a wrist brace, especially at night, as one part of therapy. Treatment may also include medications, stretching and strengthening specific wrist muscles and changing the position of the wrist while in use. If symptoms persist, a physician may recommend injection or surgery. Surgery of carpal tunnel is a very simple and successful surgery which instantly and permanently cures the symptoms

ARTHRITIS: Arthritis means an inflammation of a joint eventually leading to wear and tear. End result is a painful and deformed joint. 60 % of people who have arthritis are females, and several of the more common forms are more prevalent in women. Apart from pain, stiffness in joints, redness around the joint, swelling and difficulty in performing the day to day activities are the most common symptoms.

WHY WOMEN: For reasons unknown, women are most likely to get arthritis. The most common type is Osteoarthritis which is really wear and tear and essentially not a disease, mostly affecting women over 40 years. Rheumatoid Arthritis: 70 % of people with this type of arthritis are women, according to the Arthritis Foundation. It is inflammation of the synovium (lining) of the joints and can result in painful damage to the joints, affecting in the age group of 30 onwards.

CHONDROMALACIA PATELLA OR RUNNER'S KNEE: The pain is infront of the knee, especially while running, walking or ascending/descending stairs. This condition is caused by softening of patellar cartilage as well as mechanical alignment abnormality of patella.
