 ARTHRITIS

Arthritis

​

Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

​

Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — to break down.

​

Gout is a type of arthritis that happens when you have too much uric acid in your blood and it forms sharp crystals in one or more of your joints. 

​

Treatments times will vary depending on the type of arthritis. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce the pain and inflammation and improve your life's quality.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms

​

Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints.

 

In the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, it is common to feel characteristic symptoms of pain and stiffness. The specific symptoms, their severity, and timing differ in each patient and may be related to how aggressively the immune system is attacking the body’s healthy tissues.

​

Some of the most common RA signs and symptoms include:

  • Pain and tenderness in joints for at least six consecutive weeks

  • Stiffness and  loss of range of motion in the joints

  • Stiffness in the morning lasting at least 30 minutes and up to several hours

  • Pain and soreness in one or multiple joints

  • Involvement of joints on both sides of the body

  • Pain and soreness in small joints like knuckles and toes

​

Rheumatoid arthritis can be debilitating and disabling.  It can cause you constant pain and loss of joint function, and even rob you of your independence.
