What You Need to Know About Arthritis
Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis is a general term used to describe conditions that affect the joints.
The most common types include osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, although there are several other forms such as ankylosing spondylitis, gout, psoriatic arthritis and reactive arthritis.
Osteoarthritis is the most frequently seen type and is often associated with changes in joint structure over time. It commonly affects areas such as the knees, hips, hands, neck and back.
Common Symptoms of Arthritis
Symptoms can vary depending on the type of arthritis and the joints involved.
You may experience:
- Joint pain during or after movement
- Stiffness, particularly in the morning or after rest
- Reduced range of movement
- Swelling or tenderness around the joint
- Difficulty with everyday activities
Symptoms may fluctuate over time, with periods of increased discomfort followed by more settled phases.
