What is Arthritis Pain?

Arthritis pain is discomfort experienced due to inflammation and damage within joints, commonly associated with different types of arthritis.

Arthritis pain is typically caused by wear and tear over time, immune system dysfunction, infections, or a combination of these factors.

Symptoms can include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, redness, and decreased range of motion in the affected joints.

Diagnosis often involves a physical examination, patient history, blood tests, and imaging such as X-rays or MRI.

Conservative treatments include over-the-counter pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes like exercise and weight management.

Interventional options can include corticosteroid injections, platelet rich plasma injections, or in severe cases, joint replacement surgery.

The goal is to reduce pain, minimize joint damage, improve mobility, and enhance the patient's quality of life.
