(Medical-NewsWire.com, May 26, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Arthritis can come in many forms, and as a matter of fact, it can pertain to over 100 types of joint diseases. The condition affects millions of people in the United States and around the world, and knowing more about it can significantly help patients deal with it well.
The Arthritis Foundation has discussed the pertinent information about arthritis. Although the condition is very common, it is nonetheless not well understood. Patients should learn more about arthritis to help their doctor determine the right treatment.
"Arthritis is often referred to as joint pain or joint disease, and it pertains to more than 100 types of arthritic conditions. Anyone is susceptible to arthritis regardless of the age, sex or race," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
The condition is considered to be the leading cause of disability in the United States. There are about 300,000 children and 53 million adults who suffer from some type of arthritis. Women and those who are getting older are typically affected by the condition. Symptoms can be mild, moderate or severe, and they can also come and go.
According to The Arthritis Foundation, there can be different types of arthritis, such as degenerative arthritis, inflammatory, infectious and metabolic arthritis. There are some types that affect the lungs, eyes, heart, skin and kidneys. Osteoarthritis is an example of degenerative arthritis. It is the most common and it often causes stiffness, swelling and pain. Over time, the condition becomes chronic.
"Rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis are examples of inflammatory arthritis. They are often treated with the use of DMARDS, or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs," added O'Sullivan.
Infectious arthritis, on the other hand, takes place when a virus or bacterium enters the joints and cause inflammation. Food poisoning, contamination, STDs or blood-to-blood infections are often the main cause of this arthritis type. Metabolic arthritis is caused by high levels of uric acid in the body. A primary care physician performs physical exams, blood tests and imaging scans which are often used to determine the type of arthritis.
