Arthritis



Arthritis

Arthritis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of one or more joints, resulting in pain, swelling, stiffness, and occasionally redness or warmth in the affected areas. While it can occur at any age, it is most prevalent among older adults. The causes of arthritis are diverse and may include joint injury, abnormal metabolism, genetic factors, infections, or autoimmune disorders. Among the more than 100 types of arthritis, osteoarthritis is the most common, typically caused by the gradual breakdown of cartilage that cushions the ends of bones.

 

Causes of Arthritis

The causes differ depending on the type of arthritis and may include:

  • Aging
  • Overuse or repetitive joint stress
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Autoimmune responses
  • Infections or previous joint injuries

Common Signs and Symptoms of Arthritis

Symptoms can vary in severity and duration. They may include:

  • Chronic joint pain
  • Swelling and redness around joints
  • Joint stiffness, especially in the morning
  • Limited range of motion
  • A cracking or grinding sensation in the joints

These symptoms may remain stable over time or gradually worsen. In advanced cases, arthritis may lead to persistent pain, loss of joint function, difficulty with daily activities, and a diminished quality of life.

Types of Arthritis

Some of the most common types include:

  • Thorough medical history and physical examination
  • Imaging studies such as X-rays or MRI
  • Blood tests to assess inflammation or uric acid levels
  • Joint fluid analysis (when necessary)
