Arthritis is a common inflammatory condition that affects the joints of the human body. In addition to the joints, it also affects the surrounding tissues such as cartilages, synovia, and so on. There are over 200 different types of arthritis, with one of the most common ones being rheumatoid arthritis.
Arthritis arises in individuals as a result of different factors such as genetics, environmental factors, injuries (mostly when left untreated) and a week or dysfunctional immune system. Physical activity has been thought to reduce some symptoms, medications, and other forms of treatment can also be introduced to ease pain and stop swelling. To get access to these, you would need to contact an arthritis specialist, also known as a Rheumatologist.
Arthritis can present with several symptoms; some common ones have been listed below. It is important to note that the symptoms listed are not specific to this condition and should be reported to your GP for further assessment. If needed, the doctor will refer you to a suitable rheumatologist.
• Joint pain and swelling
• Inability/difficulty in moving a joint
