Do you have arthritis?

Are your joints always hurting? Does your blood sugar glucose go down easier? Do your joints sometimes get inflammed and bruise without even hurting it? If these symptoms don't go away in about a month or two, you should get tested for arthritis. It will also depend on what type of arthritis you have. They will probably do a blood test and then an x ray of the joints that hurt.The most common is idiopathic arthritis, which nobody is sure of why it happens or caused. The second most common is rhumetoid arthritis. This is found in children and young teens mostly(Juvenile Rhumetoid arthritis (JRA), but also adults. This is different because unlike idiopathic, rhumetoid arthritis is caused by the immune system fighting off tissue that make the joints swell and hurt ALOT!!!

What is the worst type of arthritis?

There are some pretty horrible forms of arthritis. The most wide spread isOsteoarthritis, it can be the result of total destruction of Joints. Then there is gout, which is a form of arthritis that occurs as a result of too much uric acid in the system forming crystals that invade joints causing excruciating pain and damage it can also damage the kidney eventually.In my opinion it is probably Rheumatoid arthritis which can strike at any age and totally destroy joints. affect eyesight, the lungs, the heart and even cause problems with the brain if you are unlucky. it is also a very painful condition. Seen from an overall perspective however it all depends on the particular case of arthritis and the person that has it.
