Understanding Arthritis and Its Types
Arthritis is a wide-ranged condition characterized by inflammation of one or more joints, with common symptoms including joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and decreased range of motion. There are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis and related conditions, with some of the most common including:
- Osteoarthritis: This degenerative joint disease causes wear and tear to the cartilage within the joint, causing it to break down and expose the underlying bone. These changes develop slowly and worsen over time, reducing function and disability.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: As an autoimmune and inflammatory disease, this disease attacks the joints, causing the joints to inflame and damage the joint tissues. The damage caused by this condition can be long-lasting and chronic.
- Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia often causes widespread pain throughout the body, and as a type of arthritis, it can affect people of all ages and cause more sensitivity to pain, leading to sleep problems, fatigue, and emotional distress.
- Gout: As a type of inflammatory arthritis, gout attacks one joint at a time, specifically the big toe joint, leading to pain, swelling, redness, and heat. In many cases, gout flareup can cause immobility for weeks until its symptoms dissipate.
If you’re experiencing joint pain that persists for longer than two weeks, swelling, stiffness, and decreased range of motion in the joint, then our experienced team of specialists can help.
