Arthritis:
The medical term “Arthritis” – simply meant inflammation in the joints. following are the different types of arthritis,
1.) Osteoarthritis (OA) is the more common type of arthritis. And generally called “Wear and Tear” arthritis, this condition is a result of the gradual loss of articular cartilage. The result is painful inflammation caused by attempts of bone to rebuild itself, often creating osteophytes, or spurs. OA is most commonly seen in the knees, hips, hands (2nd and 3rd knuckles), neck and low back. This condition is generally not symmetrical and may only present in one joint.
2.) Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease which may have an autoimmune origin. After the inflammatory process has set in, there is a degenerating result of cartilage, bone, tendons and ligaments. RA usually present symmetrically, and in multiple joints. Other symptoms or indications include: tenderness, a hot or warm feeling in the joints, and a noise like crinkling at times.
Other less common types of arthritis include:
3.) Reactive Arthritis (due to infection),
4.) Enteropathic Arthritis (secondary to inflammatory bowel disease)
5.) Psoriatic Arthritis (Joint pain related to psoriasis)
6.) Ankylosing Spondylitis (Arthritis in the Spine – Pain and Stiffness in the lower back and hips)
