  1. Arthritis symptoms

    Arthritis refers to inflammation and joint problems. Common symptoms include joint pain, stiffness (often worse in the morning or after rest), swelling, warmth, and reduced range of motion. Some people also notice tenderness around the joint, aching that may worsen with activity, and occasional redness if the joint is actively inflamed.

  2. When to seek medical care

    Symptoms vary by type (e.g., osteoarthritis vs. rheumatoid arthritis vs. gout), but you should get prompt professional evaluation if you have severe pain, rapidly worsening swelling, fever, a joint that becomes very red or hot, inability to bear weight, or symptoms affecting multiple joints. If you have persistent stiffness lasting more than a few weeks, new joint swelling, or fatigue/unexplained weight loss, contact a clinician for assessment and diagnosis.

  3. Professional-care note

    This information is general and not a diagnosis. A healthcare professional can determine the arthritis type and recommend appropriate treatment (such as physical therapy, medications, or lifestyle changes) based on your symptoms, exam, and possibly blood tests or imaging.
