Understanding Arthritis: Causes, Types & Symptoms

Arthritis literally means “joint inflammation.” It’s not a single disease but rather a group of over 100 conditions characterized by joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion. Arthritis can affect one joint or multiple joints throughout the body.

Common Types of Arthritis We Treat in Ranchi:

🦴 Osteoarthritis (OA)

Most common type – “wear and tear” arthritis

Breakdown of joint cartilage over time
Usually affects knees, hips, spine, hands
More common with age (50+)
Risk factors: obesity, previous injuries, genetics
Gradual onset, worsens over years

🔥 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Autoimmune disease – body attacks own joints

Immune system attacks joint lining (synovium)
Typically affects hands, feet, wrists symmetrically
Can occur at any age (often 30-60)
Causes inflammation, warmth, swelling
Morning stiffness lasting >30 minutes

🔗 Psoriatic Arthritis

Associated with psoriasis skin condition

Joint inflammation plus skin patches
Can affect any joint, spine involvement common
Fingers and toes may swell (“sausage digits”)
Nail changes often present

🏃 Ankylosing Spondylitis

Primarily affects spine

Inflammatory arthritis of spine and sacroiliac joints
Can cause vertebrae to fuse over time
Morning stiffness, improves with activity
More common in men, often starts young (20s-30s)

Common Symptoms of Arthritis:

Joint Pain: Aching, soreness, sharp pain with movement
Stiffness: Especially in the morning or after rest
Swelling: Joint appears larger, feels warm
Reduced Range of Motion: Difficulty bending, straightening joints
Tenderness: Pain when touching the joint
Weakness: Muscles around affected joint become weak
Crepitus: Grinding, cracking, or popping sounds
Joint Deformity: In advanced cases, visible joint changes
Fatigue: General tiredness, especially with inflammatory types

Joints Commonly Affected by Arthritis:

Knees: Most common site for osteoarthritis – Learn more
Hips: Causes groin pain, difficulty walking – Learn more
Spine: Lower back and neck arthritis (spondylosis)
Hands: Fingers, thumb base, wrists
Shoulders: Limited overhead movement
Ankles and Feet: Difficulty walking, standing

Causes and Risk Factors for Arthritis

Primary Causes:

Age-related wear and tear: Cartilage naturally degenerates over time
Autoimmune dysfunction: Body’s immune system attacks joints (RA, PsA)
Previous joint injuries: Fractures, ligament tears, dislocations
Genetic predisposition: Family history increases risk
Infections: Some types triggered by bacterial/viral infections
Metabolic issues: Gout (uric acid buildup), pseudogout

Risk Factors You Can’t Control:

Age (risk increases with age)
Gender (women more prone to RA, men to gout)
Genetics and family history

Risk Factors You CAN Control:

Obesity: Extra weight stresses weight-bearing joints
Physical inactivity: Weak muscles fail to support joints
Occupational hazards: Repetitive joint stress (kneeling, squatting)
Previous injuries: Proper rehabilitation reduces future arthritis risk
Smoking: Increases RA risk and severity
Poor nutrition: Inflammatory diet worsens symptoms
