Arthritis Symptoms commonly manifest themselves as a pain and stiffness in joints, ranging from being a minor inconvenient problem in one joint to being a debilitating and painful problem in all joints - also it can cause a reshaping of the joint into a functionally depreciated state due to atrophy of unused muscles surrounding the afflicted joint which is also an additional symptom of this degenerative condition. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability, pain, and suffering in adults who are past the age of retirement and many different types exist with similar symptoms - however they react differently in the long run and differently in the kinds of pain they can cause. Osteoarthritis is commonly worse after a long days work right before the night cycle of sleep begins, while rheumatoid arthritis presents itself as a painful full body and all joint pain in the morning after waking up commonly.
In addition to these septic arthritis presents itself due to an infection in one injured joint, however seeding septic arthritis can infect more than one depending on the virulence of the germ. Symptoms of septic are having pain in only one joint accompanied by fever and increased immune system production of antibodies - and when cured the damage may repair or stay depending on the patient. Gout is another form of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid in the joints depositing crystalline structures which in turn cause sudden pain with swelling, inflammation, redness, warmth of the afflicted areas, stiffness and usually affects the big toe first, but can also affect many other joints.
A secondary symptom is extreme skin sensitivity around the afflicted joint - meaning something as light as a pillow can cause extreme pain and suffering for the afflicted. Finally another one of the many types is Ankylosing spondylitis - and is probably the most debilitating of them since this affliction specifically manifests itself in the spine - and fusion of the joints in the spine. Unlike osteoarthritis the common age of the victim is between fifteen and thirty, and it manifests itself with chronic pain and stiffness in the lower lumbar areas of the back.
