Arthritis Q&a: Understanding Different Types Of Arthritis

By Alex Trenor

Arthritis is a group of conditions that affect the health of the bone joints in the body. A painful inflammation of a joint or joints usually produces heat and redness.

• fibromyalgia
• infectious arthritis
• osteoarthritis
• polymyalgia rheumatica

Osteoarthritis is a disease that affects joints in the body. It can involve any joint, but usually concerns hands and weight-bearing joints such as hips, knees, feet and spine.

* What is rheumatoid arthritis?

Rheumatoid


arthritis is an autoimmune disease. Normally, the cells called antibodies being produced by the body’s immune system, attack the foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses. With autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakes the person’s own tissue as foreign and attacks it.

With rheumatoid arthritis, the antibodies attack the membranes around the joints that cause swelling, pain and stiffness. In some cases, rheumatoid can cause deformity.

Rheumatoid also causes inflammation of the sheaths around the tendons, the one that join muscles to bones.

* What is juvenile rheumatoid arthritis?

Juvenile rheumatoid is the type of that causes joint inflammation and stiffness for more than six weeks in a child of sixteen years of age or less.

There are three types of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, the polyarticular, pauciarticular and systematic. Polyarticular involves more than five joints and may be associated with a low-grade fever. The pauciarticular involves fewer joints and the systematic juvenile rheumatoid can affect the entire body.

There have been studies that are concentrated on finding the causes of arthritis. These studies show that a genetic component can affect in the symptoms. Some types of have a strong link with genetics. These are in the spine and gouty arthritis. The others have a weak link in genetics.

On the other hand, the study explains that attacks more in older people. However, patients commonly get in several ways. Doctors have implied that a hereditary issue has a lesser percentage of risk when it comes to triggering arthritis.

Most causes of include things like sports injuries, old age, joint overuse, and other personal risks.
