What Are the Different Types of Arthritis?
Arthritis is a condition that causes pain, inflammation, and stiffness in the joints, which can severely affect your daily life. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis:
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, often caused by age, injury, or overuse of a joint. It occurs when the protective cartilage between your joints wears down, leading to pain and reduced mobility.
- Previous Injuries: Even if you fully recovered from an injury, damage to cartilage or surrounding muscles can result in osteoarthritis later in life.
- Repetitive Motions: Jobs or activities that involve repetitive movements, such as typing, can increase the risk of osteoarthritis in joints like the hands and fingers.
- Obesity: Carrying excess weight places additional strain on your joints, increasing the likelihood of developing osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness. If left untreated, RA can cause permanent joint damage and deformity.
- Autoimmune Response: In RA, the immune system mistakenly identifies joints as threats and attacks them. This leads to inflammation that can damage cartilage and bone over time.
- Bilateral Joint Pain: Rheumatoid arthritis often affects the same joints on both sides of the body (e.g., both knees or both wrists).
- Risk Factors: A combination of genetics, environment, and hormones can contribute to the development of RA, with women being more likely to suffer from the condition than men.
If you hear popping or cracking sounds in your joints, this could indicate that the cartilage has worn down, causing bones to rub against each other. It’s essential to seek treatment early to prevent further joint deterioration.
