The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis (OA) Inflammation of bone and joint Primarily caused by ‘wear and tear’ on a joint Cartilage, ligaments and muscles surrounding the joint are weakened. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) An autoimmune disease that attacks tissues near joints and other body parts It causes chronic swelling and pain that is sometimes severe. Treatments vary depending on the type of arthritis. The main goal of arthritis treatment is to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. SYMPTOMS The most common signs and symptoms of arthritis involves the joints. Depending on the type of arthritis you have, your signs and symptoms may include: Pain Stiffness Swelling Redness Decreased range of motion. How joints work and what could go wrong Most of the moveable joints between the bones of your body are synovial joints. In these joints, the ends of the two bones are covered in a smooth ,slippery layer of cartilage that acts as a shock absorber. The joint capsule contains a lubricating fluid, called synovial fluid which helps your bones glide past each other when you bend the joints. In Osteoarthritis, the top layer of the cartilage covering the bones within the joint, softens, breaks down and wears away which allows the bones underneath to rub against each other every time you bend. The rubbing causes the ends of the bones to thicken, narrowing the gap between them, which causes pain, swelling and loss of motion in the joint. Everyone’s joint undergo ‘wear and tear’ over time, but osteoarthritis is more than just that, as we know that it is a disease that affects the entire joint including cartilage, synovial membranes, ligaments, and bone. Sometimes bits of bone fragments can break off in the joint, causing more pain and damage. Osteoarthritis can damage any joint in your body, but most commonly occurs in the weight-bearing joint including your knees, hips and spine, often starting in just one joint. Other joints that have been previously injured or overused may also be affected, e.g., the joints on your hands. With Rheumatoid, the disease is caused by an autoimmune disease, which means your immune system produces antibodies that attack your own tissues. In this case, the ‘antibodies’ attacks the synovial membrane inside your joints, causing inflammation and fluid build up within the joint capsule. Over time the joint surface begins to erode, restricting your movement, and often eventually causing your joints to become deformed.
