Wrist Arthritis
Arthritis is a term for a number or different painful joint conditions and knowing the differences are important.
The most common type of arthritis is Osteoarthritis (OA) which is characterized by wear and tear in joints that develops gradually and later in life. It most commonly occurs in weight bearing joints such as the knees but can also be seen in the shoulder, elbows, wrist, and fingers. Pain and stiffness is most common at the beginning of the day and improves with gentle steady movement.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to break down the body’s joints. This process causes swelling at the joints which get more painful with increased activity throughout the day.
