Millions of people around the world suffer from arthritis, but there are several different types of arthritis. Arthritis symptoms that are common to all of the different types are pain and suffering. Arthritis symptoms vary in intensity, and some of these arthritis symptoms are more easily treated. Some forms of arthritis are curable, but in most cases arthritis symptoms are treatable although the underlying condition is not treatable. Arthritis symptoms are often the clue to a cure. People who suffer any type of joint pain should consult with their doctor to find relief from the arthritis symptoms.

Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are very common forms of this condition. These two types of arthritis are often very painful and somewhat debilitating for the people affected. A doctor will work with the patient to first of all try to relieve the pain for his or her patient. People will often start with ordinary pain medicine to find relief from the symptoms. If these medications do not eliminate the arthritis symptoms, the doctor will probably prescribe other types of pain medication to relieve the symptoms. Sometimes the doctor must experiment to find the most effective medication for relief of the painful symptoms.

Arthritis Symptoms Differ By Type

Pain in the joints of the body is common to most types of arthritis, but several types of arthritis have other specific arthritis symptoms that should lead to treatment. Many people who suffer from arthritis end up with a decrease in their mobility because of the terrible pain. Sometimes these people do not exercise which can exacerbate their lack of mobility. Some people with severe forms of the disease end up leaving their work early because they have trouble moving around. One type of arthritis produces pain in the big toe as well as other joints in the body.

Arthritis symptoms include skin problems in some forms of the disease. Other symptoms include problems with the eyes. Some forms of arthritis include infections caused by bacteria or other conditions. Some of these forms of arthritis can be diagnosed by using urinalysis or blood tests. Arthritis can be caused by other infections such as lupus or gonorrhea. Fortunately, expert researchers continue to find information about arthritis, and this information often leads to better treatment for those who suffer. There have been some drugs in recent years that have made a significant difference for those who have to live with the symptoms of arthritis.
