Dr. Theo™ on Arthritis

 

Arthritis and related conditions are actually made up of about 100 different diseases.

When the word "arthritis" is used as a general term, it is meant to refer to problems that are specific to or include the joints.

There are over 230 different joints in the human body. A joint is the union of two or more bones, surrounded by various other tissues such as

  • Joint capsule (fibrous tissue which encloses the joint in a watertight and airtight environment)
  • Muscles (which allow for movement around the joint)
  • Tendons (which connect muscles to bones)
  • Ligaments (which connect bone to other bones)
  • Cartilage (which lines the ends of the bones and acts as both a shock absorbers and a slippery surface that allows the bones to move easily over one another)

Arthritis is a Greek word that translates literally into "joint inflammation." The symptoms of arthritis usually include joint pain, stiffness, and sometimes swelling or warmth.
