There are two major types of Arthritis in your feet
and hands that can cause you pain and suffering.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (äs-tE-O-är-'thrI-tis) is a degenerative
joint disease that is caused by the breakdown of the joint cartilage
with eventual loss of the cartilage, between the bones.
Osteoarthritis not only affects the joints in your hands and
feet, but also the joint in your hips, knees, shoulders,
elbows, and even your back. Depending on the stage of the
disease, it can be very painful and cause joint inflammation
and limit the range of motion.
Most cases of osteoarthritis have no known cause, and are
called primary osteoarthritis. When the cause of the
osteoarthritis is known, the condition is called secondary
osteoarthritis. Joints that have suffered injuries and
trauma are susceptible to arthritis.
Signs and Symptoms of Osteoarthritis include:
- mild to intense joint
pain
- pain lessens with action
- pain increases after you have
rested
- finger, thumb, knuckles and toe joints thicken
(swell)
- joint can be warm
- joint becomes sensitive to touch from the
inflammation
If
your arthritic pain is isolated to your hands and/or your
feet... you will most likely have Osteoarthritis.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid (roo-mah-toid) Arthritis is the most common form
of inflammatory arthritis. It affects the thin membrane (synovium) that
lines and lubricates the joints in your hands.
Rheumatoid Arthritis causes the membranes of your hands
and feet to thicken and produce chemical substances that
damage the cartilage and bone within the affected joint and
the supporting soft tissue structures, such as capsule,
ligaments and tendons.
The disease may involve men or women of any age, but it
is most commonly seen in females in their 20's and 30's.
Rheumatoid Arthritis usually starts in the fingers, hands
and wrists, but will over time, spread to the feet, ankles,
knees, hips, elbows, shoulders, spine, and even the jaw.
Rheumatoid Arthritis usually affects joints in a symmetrical
fashion, that is, when a joint on one side of the body is
involved, the same joint on the opposite side of the body
will be affected. Some patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
experience constant symptoms, while others have an "up and
down" course of bad periods or "flares" and good periods
called "remissions".
