Understanding Arthritis Pain

Arthritis is a chronic condition that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. There are several types of arthritis, including:   

• Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that occurs when cartilage breaks down.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints.

Arthritis Symptoms

The most common symptoms of arthritis include:

• Joint pain: This is the most common symptom of arthritis. The pain may be mild or severe, and it may worsen with activity or at night.
• Joint stiffness: This is a feeling of tightness or soreness in the joints, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
• Joint swelling: This is a common symptom of inflammatory types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis. The swelling may be accompanied by warmth and redness.
• Joint tenderness: This is a pain that occurs when pressure is applied to the joint.
• Reduced range of motion: This is a loss of flexibility in the joints, making it difficult to move them through their full range of motion.
• Joint deformity: In some cases, arthritis can lead to the permanent deformity of the joints. This is most common in severe cases of rheumatoid arthritis.

The specific symptoms of arthritis will vary depending on the type of arthritis and the joints that are affected. For example, osteoarthritis most commonly affects the knees, hips, and hands, while rheumatoid arthritis often affects the small joints of the hands and feet.
