Arthritis

Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints. Arthritis is not a single disease - it is a term that covers over 100 medical conditions. Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and generally affects elderly patients. Some forms of arthritis can affect people at a very early age.

Types of arthritis:
• Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Infectious arthritis (septic arthritic)
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA)
Gout and pseudo-gout
Still’s disease
Ankylosing spondylitis

Signs and symptoms:
Regardless of the type of arthritis, the common symptoms for all arthritis disorders include varied levels of pain, swelling, joint stiffness, and sometimes a constant ache around the joint(s). Arthritic disorders like lupus and rheumatoid can also affect other organs in the body with a variety of symptoms.
Inability to use the hand or walk
Malaise and a feeling of tiredness
•Weight loss
•Poor sleep
•Muscle aches and pains
•Tenderness
Difficulty moving the joint
It is common in advanced arthritis for significant secondary changes to occur. For example, in someone who has limited their physical activity:
Muscle weakness
Loss of flexibility
•Decreased aerobic fitness
These changes can also impact on life and social roles, such as community involvement.

Diagnosis: Diagnosis can be made basing on the clinical presentation supported with X-ray, CT, MRI and appropriate blood tests
