Symptoms of Arthritis can vary depending on the type (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, psoriatic arthritis), but common signs include:
- Joint Pain – Aching or sharp pain, often worsened by activity.
- Stiffness – Especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
- Swelling – Due to inflammation or fluid buildup in the joints.
- Reduced Range of Motion – Difficulty moving joints fully.
- Warmth & Redness – Over affected joints due to inflammation.
- Cracking or Popping Sounds – Due to cartilage wear and tear.
Type-Specific Symptoms:
- Osteoarthritis (OA): Gradual cartilage breakdown, causing stiffness, pain, and bone spurs.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): Autoimmune attack on joints, leading to swelling, deformity, and fatigue.
- Gout: Sudden, intense pain (often in the big toe) caused by uric acid buildup.
- Psoriatic Arthritis: Joint pain with skin symptoms (psoriasis).
- Ankylosing Spondylitis: Spinal stiffness, lower back pain, and postural issues.
Treatment: Do all three approaches together for maximum results or choose one of the following approaches.
