Arthritis - Symptoms and Causes and Treatment in Navi Mumbai

Overview

Arthritis involves the inflammation and tenderness of one or more joints, with joint pain and stiffness as the primary symptoms, often worsening with age. The two most prevalent types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis leads to the breakdown of cartilage—the firm, smooth tissue covering the ends of bones where joints form. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks joint linings.

Gout can result from the formation of uric acid crystals when there is an excess of uric acid in the blood. Other forms of arthritis may stem from infections or underlying conditions like psoriasis or lupus.

Treatment approaches vary based on the type of arthritis, with the primary goals being symptom reduction and enhancement of overall quality of life.

Here is a list of different types of arthritis:

• Ankylosing spondylitis
• Gout
• Juvenile idiopathic arthritis
• Osteoarthritis
• Psoriatic arthritis
• Reactive arthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Septic arthritis
• Thumb arthritis

• Pain
• Stiffness

• Redness
