Osteoarthritis / Inflammatory Arthritis
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease where cartilage wears down over time, leading to joint pain and stiffness. Inflammatory arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis, involves the immune system attacking joint tissues, causing swelling, pain, and long-term damage.
Symptoms & Risks:
Joint pain, especially with movement
Morning stiffness or reduced flexibility
Swelling, redness, and warmth in joints (more common in inflammatory types)
Fatigue and systemic symptoms in autoimmune forms
Risk of permanent joint damage or disability without treatment
Diagnosis & Monitoring:
Physical examination and symptom history
X-rays, MRIs, or ultrasound of joints
Blood tests for inflammation markers and antibodies (e.g., rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP)
Treatment Options:
Pain management (NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections)
Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for inflammatory arthritis
Physical therapy and joint strengthening exercises
Joint replacement surgery in severe cases
