Arthritis
Arthritis is not a single disease — it refers to over 100 conditions involving joint inflammation. The two most common types are osteoarthritis (OA), caused by cartilage wear-and-tear and most common after age 45, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks joint linings causing systemic inflammation. Early diagnosis and treatment significantly slow progression. Iswarya Hospital's Orthopedics department offers the full spectrum of arthritis management: medical therapy, physiotherapy, intra-articular steroid and hyaluronic acid injections, and robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery when conservative management fails.
⚠️ Common Symptoms
- Pain, tenderness, and swelling in one or multiple joints
- Morning stiffness lasting more than 30 minutes (more typical of rheumatoid arthritis)
- Warmth and redness over affected joints
- Reduced range of motion and difficulty with daily tasks
- Fatigue, fever, and loss of appetite (in rheumatoid arthritis)
- Joint deformity or knobby fingers in advanced stages
🚨 When to See a Doctor
If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above — especially if they are severe, persistent, or worsening — consult a specialist immediately. Early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes. Don't self-diagnose or delay care.
