Arthritis symptoms

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Arthritis symptoms usually vary day to day. This makes it hard to know if a change in symptoms is because of a particular change in food or just coincidence. Arthritis symptoms can be hard to detect because we normally don’t listen to our bodies. Other people say “I think I’m starting to get arthritis, my knees are killing me after a long day at work”. Arthritis symptoms include pain, stiffness, and swelling and inflammation of the joints. There is often damage to the joint cartilage (the smooth tissue that covers the ends of bones and helps to prevent the bones from rubbing against each other).

Arthritis symptoms are present but a lot of us, ignore those symptoms and blame it on “old age”. After many months of trying all kinds of alternatives like aspirin, ibuprofen, tylenol and the likes, our arthritis symptoms become full blown arthritis. Arthritis symptoms can also include weight loss, fatigue and fever. There are upwards of 100 different types of arthritis. Arthritis symptoms vary from one individual to another. Common symptoms of arthritis include joint pain and stiffness caused by joint inflammation.
