Chapter 1: What is Arthritis
Arthritis is a disease that affects millions of people throughout the world. It is more prevalent among adults of ages 60-70 years, although, in some cases, children and young adults also experience this disease.
Arthritis is known as rheumatoid diseases that attack the joints. This disease causes different symptoms and affects a mans ability to carry out his daily activities.
Many functions performed by the body are hindered because of the pain caused by this disease. Also, due to the pains it generates, it subsequently results in poor mental health.
There are different types of arthritis in which the most common type is osteoarthritis.
What are the Types of Arthritis?
Arthritis consists of different categories which are later divided into different types. The categories are:
Back Pain
Pains that affect the joints, nerves, bones, and muscles are known as back pain. Many other body organs also experience this pain.
Pains that affect the back may occur as a result of osteoporosis. Also, some could be as a result of the effect of osteoarthritis. Many back pains that occur in the spine is referred to as spondylitis.
This is one of the pains most individuals complain about. Many of this pain might not be as a result of arthritis but some are caused by this disease.
Soft Tissue Musculoskeletal Pain
Pains that occur as a result of injury either via sport or accident could be regarded as soft tissue musculoskeletal pain. This disease is experienced in the bones, tissues, and joints.
Connective Tissue Disease
There are different types of connective tissue diseases. These are:
- Systemic sclerosis.
- Lupus.
- Dermatomyositis.
Joint Inflammation and pains in the body occur as a result of connective tissue disease. Some tissues in the body organs such as kidneys, skin, muscles, and lungs could experience this inflammation.
Some tissues such as the cartilage, tendons, and ligaments are joined together or separated with the help of connective tissues.
Infectious Arthritis
Infections such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses that invade the bones or joints could lead to inflammations in these body regions.
Some infections that affect bone marrows are also regarded as infectious arthritis. This infection causes severe pain in the body and could result in deformity.
Inflammatory Arthritis
There are different types of inflammatory arthritis. These are:
- Ankylosing spondylitis.
- Rheumatoid arthritis.
- Reactive arthritis.
- Arthritis associated with colitis.
In this type of arthritis, the joints are affected by the immune system and cause the joints to become inflamed.
Degenerative Arthritis
This category of arthritis affects about eight million individuals in the U.K. This type of arthritis is mostly called osteoarthritis.
The cartilage which surrounds the bones is affected by this type of arthritis. The cartilage, in this case, becomes very thin and rough. This infection hinders the cartilage from moving smoothly.
There are some other types of arthritis that usually affect people of all ages.
Dominant Types of Arthritis
Gout
Gout is an inflammatory condition and it is one of the major prevalent types of arthritis.
Gout is arthritis caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals. Uric acid is a constituent of urine and metabolic breakdown products of purine nucleotide. The uric acid is a weak acid that easily saturates as deprotonated urate anion which reacts with sodium ions to form monosodium urate.
