OTHER MAIN TYPES OF ARTHRITIS

Besides OA (osteoarthritis) and RA (rheumatoid arthritis), there are three other main types of arthritis.  They are:

• Systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) - Develops in the skin, joints and internal organs and mainly affects women.
• Ankylosing spondylitis – Normally affects the spine but can also impact ankles, knees, shoulders, heart, lungs and eyes.
• Gout – Affects mainly men.  About one million men in the US suffer from this form of the disease.  An internal malfunction causes a build up of uric acid that forms into crystals.  These crystals get lodged in a joint, normally that of the big toe which becomes inflamed causing considerable pain.
