Causes of arthritis
As mentioned above, arthritis occurs as a result of an inflammatory response to infectious and viral attacks. There are quite a few types of arthritis: rheumatoid, gonorrheic, metabolic, tuberculosis, psoriatic, gout, etc. From the names of some of them, you can guess which infection provoked the disease.
The causes of arthritic joint pain include:
Allergies;
metabolic disorders;
vitamin deficiencies;
lesions of the nervous system.
It is possible to diagnose arthritis only with the help of X-ray examination.
Of the accompanying symptoms of joint diseases can be distinguished from such signs:
sharp pain, especially when walking;
morning fever, sometimes a rash;
deformation of the joint, the formation of swelling.
Causes of arthrosis
Joint pain of a degenerative nature is often found in older people, and this is due to the wear and tear of the joint: over time, cartilage loses its elasticity.
Other causes of arthrosis include:
excessive body weight (heavy load on the joints);
genetic predisposition (e.g. detection of hip dysplasia. Detected by an orthopedist in newborns and infants in the first 2 months of life);
hormonal disruption (relevant during menopause and hormonal diseases);
previously suffered injuries and surgeries on the joints.
