Arthritis
Arthritis is the inflammation of one or more joints that causes pain and stiffness. It encompasses many different forms, from those related to wear and tear to those of autoimmune or metabolic origin.
Common symptoms:
- Joint pain and stiffness, especially upon waking
- Swelling, redness, or warmth in the joints
- Reduced mobility or strength
When to seek care? If joint pain persists, is accompanied by inflammation, or limits your daily activities, an evaluation is worthwhile.
Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist handles the inflammatory and autoimmune forms, while the orthopedist steps in for the mechanical component; the general practitioner can guide the first contact. Consulting in time helps to understand what type of arthritis is involved and to protect the function of the joints.
