SYMPTOMS OF ARTHRITIS

For people who suffer from severe and chronic arthritis, the daily activities of life can be a real (and very painful) challenge. A simple activity such as getting out of bed, cooking, driving, or walking may now take extreme effort and, sometimes, assistance.  
Living with arthritis makes the routines of daily life a lot harder when you have joint pain and stiffness. People without arthritis cannot begin to imagine how challenging everyday tasks like opening doors, working on the computer, or picking up your grandchild (or child) can be. 
  
WHAT IS ARTHRITIS? 
Arthritis is a disease that affects the joints in the feet, hands, hips, knees, and lower back. There are different types of arthritis, most of which reduce mobility and cause pain. Arthritis is more common in older adults, but it can affect people of all ages.  
Arthritis can result from normal wear and tear as we age, because of an injury, or from autoimmune diseases or inflammatory conditions. The majority of people suffering from arthritis are able to manage their arthritis pain and still do the activities they care about. 
The most common types of arthritis include: 
Osteoarthritis  
Gout 
Rheumatoid arthritis 
Fibromyalgia 
Psoriatic arthritis  
Juvenile arthritis (JA)
