Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the "wear and tear" that occurs when your joints are overworked. It normally occurs with age, but it can also be caused by joint traumas or obesity, which puts more strain on your joints.
It most commonly affects weight-bearing joints such as your knees, hips, foot, and spine. It frequently develops gradually over months or years. It causes pain in the afflicted joint.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
RA is a type of autoimmune illness. That is, the immune system attacks certain parts of the body, most notably the joints. This produces inflammation, which, if not managed, can result in substantial joint injury. One in every five persons with rheumatoid arthritis develops rheumatoid nodules on their skin. These commonly occur over pressured joint locations, such as the knuckles, elbows, or heels.
Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriasis is characterised by patchy, elevated, red, and white regions of inflammatory skin covered in scales. It typically affects the tips of the elbows and knees, the scalp, the navel, and the skin around the genital areas, sometimes known as anus. Only 10% to 30% of persons with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis.
Lupus
Lupus is a type of autoimmune disease. It can have an impact on your joints as well as various organs in your body.
The cause of lupus is unknown; however something causes your immune system to fail. Instead of battling viruses and other invaders, it begins to produce inflammation and pain throughout your body, from joints to organs to the brain. When alternative therapies fail, some people with lupus may require significant surgery to repair or replace damaged organs or joints.
Gout
Gout is the buildup of uric acid crystals in a joint. Usually, it is your big toe or another part of your foot. After a night of drinking, you frequently wake up with a sudden, acute ache in your big toe. However, medicines, stress, or another sickness can all precipitate a gout attack.
Even if you don't cure it, the attack will endure between 3 and 10 days. It could be months or years before you experience another one, but attacks may become more regular with time. If symptoms worsen, massive gout crystal deposits form, medication no longer works, or infection arises, a doctor may consider surgery.
