Arthritis

What are the symptoms of arthritis?

 

Arthritis is a debilitating disease that can cause pain and stiffness in the joints. It can also cause joint deformity if left untreated.

 

Systemic arthritis attacks the synovial membrane that covers the cartilage of the joints and secretes a lubricating fluid: the synovium. This fluid allows the joints to move without pain.

 

Systemic arthritis can affect: hands, feet, shoulders, knees, elbows or wrists.

 

Arthritis can make it difficult to perform daily activities such as walking, dressing or cooking. Arthritis is a chronic condition that can last for years.

What causes arthritis?

This substance causes inflammation of the joints, which leads to pain and stiffness, and then deformation of the joint.
