Chronic Inflammatory Arthritis

Chronic inflammatory arthritis is a long-lasting condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing ongoing inflammation. This leads to pain, swelling, stiffness, and potential joint damage over time. Unlike typical arthritis that can result from wear and tear, inflammatory arthritis involves immune system dysfunction, which can also affect other parts of the body. Common types include rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Managing this condition often requires medications to reduce inflammation, control symptoms, and prevent joint damage, along with lifestyle adjustments to improve quality of life.
