 Arthritis Signs and Cures

 

An effective arthritis home remedy looks at the arthritis symptom and arthritis signs and considers cures accordingly.

Although arthritis symptoms can occur at any joint of the body, arthritis symptoms most commonly occurs in the foot, knee, hip, cervical (neck), spinal (back), shoulder, hand and thumb and finger areas.

The term arthritis refers to the symptom of inflammation of one or more joints.  General arthritis symptoms are characterized by swelling, warmth, redness of the overlying skin, pain and restriction of motion, though arthritis symptoms of one type of arthritis will vary from arthritis symptoms of other types.

Arthritis can be divided into two basic groups - inflammatory arthritis and non-inflammatory arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a non-inflammatory arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory arthritis.

Arthritis Signs and Cures - Non-Inflammatory

This arthritis group, commonly referred to as degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis, is the result of degenerating cartilage in joints. Non-inflammatory arthritis symptoms commonly affects the foot, knee, hip, cervical (neck), spinal (back), shoulder, hand and thumb and finger areas.

This arthritis group generally affects the 45 and older age group. About half of the population aged 65 and older have some form of degenerative arthritis.

The early symptoms of arthritis are often very slight and gradually increase in intensity over the course of many years. At first, the early arthritis symptoms might produce pain or stiffness only after strenuous work or exercise. These early arthritis symptoms can deteriorate to constant and chronic pain.

Identifying early arthritis symptoms and starting an arthritis treatment program as soon as the early arthritis symptoms appear better your chances of slowing the arthritis process and living a more active and pain-free life.

Pain is not the only early arthritis symptom and may not be present at all in the early stages of arthritis. About one-third of people whose x-rays show arthritis do not experience the early arthritis symptom of pain.

 

General early symptoms of non-inflammatory arthritis include;

  • Stiffness that tends to follow periods of inactivity.
  •  Morning stiffness that dissipates within 30 minutes of waking.
  • Swelling, stiffness, pain or tenderness in one or more joints.
  • Crunching feeling or crackling sound when the joint is used. 
  • Loss of mobility. 
  • Inflammation of the joints.
  • Stiffness after periods of inactivity that can be eased by stretching and exercise. 
  • Increased joint pain in humid weather.
  • Joint pain that increases after extensive use of the joint and decreases with rest. 

Arthritis - Inflammatory

Unlike the "wear and tear" form of non-inflammatory arthritis, inflammatory arthritis is an autoimmune reaction. Antibodies develop against components of joint tissue and mistakenly and aggressively attack the joints, destroying cartilage, synovial fluid, bone and joint tissue.

There are many forms of inflammatory arthritis - rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis, spondylarthritis to name a few - that affect over 2 million Americans. While non-inflammatory arthritis is more of an "equal opportunity" disease, inflammatory arthritis affects three times as many women as men.

In its early arthritis symptoms stage inflammatory arthritis usually involves several joints, typically in a symmetrical fashion, causing inflammation, stiffness and immobility. Joint inflammation often affects feet, the wrist and finger joints closest to the hand. Joints of the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, ankles, and foot are also commonly affected.

Inflammatory arthritis is a chronic condition that affects the entire body. Inflammatory arthritis can cause fatigue, weight loss and anemia. Inflammatory arthritis can also cause inflammation of tear glands, salivary glands, the lining of your heart and lungs, and the lungs themselves.

Early Symptoms of Arthritis - Inflammatory

Symptoms of inflammatory arthritis can very greatly from person to person and can vary greatly from day to day for each individual. A complete physical examination with a thorough examination of the patient’s medical history examination is need to accurately diagnose inflammatory arthritis.

The early symptoms of inflammatory arthritis can begin after illness or a period of emotional stress. Although there are many forms of inflammatory arthritis, the early symptoms of arthritis are similar.

A common early symptoms of inflammatory arthritis are pain, swelling and/or stiffness of the foot. These early arthritis symptoms usually appear in several joints on each foot or in the sole or ball of the foot. This early arthritis symptom of the foot can result in pain and make walking difficult.

Early inflammatory arthritis symptoms can also affect the hand and wrist joints. If the arthritis pain and inflammation does settle in finger joints, the pain and inflammation will most often settle in the finger joints closest to the wrist instead of joints closest to the fingernails.

General Symptoms of Inflammatory Arthritis Include;

  • Warm, swollen, tender or painful joints.
  • A "symmetrical pattern" of inflammation with both sides of the body equally affected.
  • Morning stiffness that often lasts longer than two hours.
  • Fatigue, lack of energy. 
  • Occasional fever.
  • General sense of malaise. 
  • Weight loss, lose of appetite.
  • Nodules under the skin, particularly over bony areas.

Identifying the early arthritis symptoms and starting an arthritis treatment program as soon as early arthritis symptoms appear better your chances of slowing the arthritis process and living a more active and pain-free life.
