Question 7

What are rheumatic diseases and what is arthritis?

Accepted Answer

Arthritis means “inflammation of the joints”. Arthritis refers to a condition that impairs the joints. Since joint inflammation is a sign rather than a particular diagnosis, rheumatic diseases are the umbrella term for these conditions. Inflammation and decreased function of one or even more linking or aiding structures inside the body are defining factors of these conditions. Joints, tendons, bones, ligaments, and muscles are particularly vulnerable to these illnesses. Pain, inflammation, and stiffness are major symptoms.
There are over 100 different types of rheumatic diseases. Since they influence the body’s support structure and internal organs, some of them are referred to as connective tissue illnesses. Some rheumatic diseases can be autoimmune diseases. This means they happen when the immune system, which is supposed to protect your body, instead attacks the body’s healthy tissues.
