What is Arthritis? Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints in the human body that causes pain, stiffness, tenderness, burning, and you might feel it start to swell. It starts to worsen with age over time. The first sign of Arthritis is constant pain, also called Arthralgia.
What are the Symptoms of Arthritis? The first sign starts by feeling a repeated pain in any part of the joints, then it would start to swell and you would start to feel stiffness in one or multiple joints. At daylight, you would feel morning pain and stiffness for at least an hour. Sometimes fevers, weight loss, fatigue, and maybe anemia.
What causes Arthritis? Arthritis develops by an infection or an injury in the joints that can exacerbate the natural breakdown of cartilage tissue. What treatment can cure Arthritis? Pain-killers can reduce pain but have no effect on inflammation.
Is cracking your fingers bad for you? Cracking your knuckles doesn't cause Arthritis and is not harmful. But over time cracking your knuckles does soften your grips and can lead to soft tissue swelling.
