Arthritis is an inflammation of a joint. Pains in the joints are not always due to arthritis. Certain conditions may set off an attack of arthritis. It may be caused from a poor diet, an injury, tonsils, infection of the teeth or other parts of the body, exposure to cold and dampness.
Symptoms associated with arthritis
Infectious arthritis: Its also known as septic arthritis, is an inflammation of a joint caused by an infection of joint fluid and joint tissue produced by a bacterial invasion. It can develop by an entry of germs into the joint due to an injury, wound or skin abrasion. Infectious diseases such as gonorrhea or tuberculosis elsewhere in the body may travel from the infected area to the joints through the blood. The infected joint is painful, swollen, red, tender, and hot. The pain gets worse with movement.
Osteoarthritis: It is wearing and tearing away of cartilage and joint tissues in the knees, back, neck, and the last joints of each finger. It is characterized by the degeneration of cartilage and the growth of bumpy lumps in the joints. It is most common in people advancing into old age. The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis are stiffness, pain, heat, and loss of dexterity. Changes in the weather may flare up an attack.
Rheumatoid arthritis: It is a chronic, inflammatory and destructive disease of the joints and soft tissue. The begins in middle age, and most often in women. The symptoms include pain with stiffness in the joints of the hands, fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulder, feet, ankles, knees, or hips. After an attack, there may be scarring and new bone formation which cause deformities and loss of movement in the joint.
joints, cartilage, synovial membranes, muscles, and ligaments are involved.
Rheumatoid arthritis may be due to an autoimmune disease or infectious agent. Rheumatoid arthritis has a point of origin in the intestine. It is caused by an over consumption of improper food, poor digestion, and a slow metabolism.
Gout: It is characterized by inflammation of the joints of the hands and feet especially of the big toe caused by elevated blood levels of uric acids. Gout is associated with certain foods that are rich in chemicals called purines. Purines such as eggplants, peppers, anchovies, mushrooms, tomatoes, shellfish, peanuts, and meat are transformed in the organism into uric acids. Excess uric acids in the form of urate crystals accumulate in the joints and cause pain and inflammation. There are two forms of gout, primary gout and secondary gout. Primary gout is linked to inherited defect in metabolism. Secondary gout is a failure of the kidney to excrete uric acids. The kidneys are the principal organs of elimination of metabolic products. When there is an overproduction of uric acid, it reduces the kidneys ability to keep up with the elimination process. If the kidneys are unable to keep up with the overload, they will dump the urate crystals into the blood. As urate crystals travel throughout the system through the blood, they are deposited in the joints and tissues of the body.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis: It is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints and soft tissue affecting children 16 years old and under.
Polyarthritic rheumatoid: It is inflammation and soft tissue swelling of many joints at the same time.

I was suffering from osteoarthritis from the past 20 years - my right shoulder and right knee were affected. Could walk with great pain.
My doctor had suggested me knee replacement and I had also taken the date.In between I happened to visit India for my niece's wedding when my brother asked me to visit Dr Aneet. That was the changing point of my life... She took my case and gave me 2 months medicine. I started taking them because I was in acute pain . I started seeing change in the swelling and pain in a months time.In the 2nd month the recovery was speedier. I cancelled my date of operation and asked the doctor for more medicines.
Had medicines regularly for 6 months and believe me I could run around doing anything and everything. It is 10 years since I am pain free. Now for all my ailments I refer her and she sends me medicines. My friends at times laugh that staying in USA you get your medicine from India. I have recommended her to my friends also.
