Understanding Arthritis and Degenerative Joint Disease
Arthritis and degenerative joint disease are common conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. Understanding these conditions is essential for individuals seeking relief from their symptoms and exploring treatment options.
Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints, while degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis, is a specific type of arthritis that occurs when the protective cartilage in the joints begins to wear away over time. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Common symptoms and signs of arthritis and degenerative joint disease include joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and a decrease in joint range of motion.
These symptoms may worsen over time, impacting daily activities and quality of life.
Diagnosis and medical evaluation are crucial for determining the presence and severity of arthritis and degenerative joint disease. A healthcare professional will conduct a physical examination, review medical history, and may order imaging tests such as X-rays or MRIs to assess joint damage.
