Why do people who have arthritis have stiff joints?

People with arthritis have stiff joints because their joints are diseased and not functioning properly. Arthritis is inflammation of the joints (cause not specified). The inflammation causes the surface of the joints to become rough and for bone spurs to develop on the sides of the joint capsule. Over time, these rough patches and bone spurs start to "lock" the joint in place, reducing the range of motion of that joint.

Can Fibromyalgia cause inflammation of joints?

Fibromyalgia does not cause inflammation in the joints, but that does not mean that those suffering from Fibromyalgia may not also have inflammation. Inflammation can be caused by any number of things from food sensitivities to arthritis and autoimmune disorders. Many of those suffering from Fibromyalgia also suffer from a co-existing condition that causes inflammation. The most common causes of joint inflammation with symptoms that often overlap Fibromyalgia are Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus. Other types of arthritis including gouty arthritis and psoriatic arthritis also have symptoms that overlap Fibromyalgia. Because something as simple as a food sensitivity can cause inflammation in the body, it can be very difficult to pinpoint the cause of inflammation when a specific diagnosis is not available.
