Recognising Arthritis Signs and Symptoms
There exists more than 100 variants of arthritic diseases, and each of them exhibit different kinds of symptoms. Certain indicators of arthritis make it easier to identify the disease.

How to Identify Arthritis:

You may have arthritis if you suffer from the following:

  • Chronic joint pain
  • Pain and swelling at the site of a joint, made worse by movement or actions involving walking, rising from a chair, writing, typing, handling  objects, tossing a ball, or turning a key in a lock.
  • Joint inflammation characterized by swelling, joint inflexibility, redness and warmth when touched.
  • Misshapen joints
  • Joint inflexibility and difficulty of movement
  • Inexplicable loss of weight
  • Chronic tiredness, lethargy, frailty and listlessness
  • Unexplained fever
  • Crepitus

Of the more than 100 different categories of arthritis, it is possible that you may be experiencing symptoms of one or more.

Consulting your physician will help in determining an accurate diagnosis of the type and extent of your condition.

A thorough evaluation may include reviewing your medical history, submitting yourself to physical examination and laboratory testing, and getting x-rays.
