The symptoms of degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis are pain, causing stiffness, and burning sensation in muscles and joints. One may also hear a cracking sound when bending joints.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease. However there are over a hundred different forms of Arthritis that range between degenerative diseases, Autoimmune disease chemical imbalances to viral and bacterial infections.
I think you have RA mixed up with Osteoarthritis which is a degenerative joint disease that can strike any joint in the body. Rheumatoid arthritis is an Auto immune disorder that attack cartilage bone and muscle around joints as well as other parts and organs of the body.
Yes, for some disease though. Not all diseases have a symptom of skin rashes. Have your doctor inspect it and see if you have a disease.
Examples of degenerative diseases include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and osteoarthritis. These conditions involve the progressive deterioration of cells or tissues in the body, leading to a decline in function over time.
Aids.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Degenerative Bone Disease:Saying the Degenerative Bone Disease IS Osteoporosis is a misnomer, and NOT entirely correct. It would be better to say that Osteoporosis is one of the most common causes of degenerative bone disease; but DBD can be the result of several disorders/diseases that affects the bones. In addition to Osteoporosis, which can cause serious fractures; there are other diseases/disorders that can lead to bone degeneration, even cartilage loss - Vitamin D deficiency; chronic Kidney disease and Renal disease; Parathyroid disease; sever calcium deficiency; bone injuries; Spinal Spondylosis; Menopause; medications (some prescriptions can harm the bones); Jaw DBD either or both the mandible or maxilla (the following jaw disorders/disease can progress into DBD, Periodontal disease, cancer, tooth extractions spreading infection to the bone, an abbess infection spreading to the bone, jaw deformities, Osteonecrosis, and injury…); Obesity (can cause poor bone health which can lead to DBD); Paget 's disease (can lead to DBD, even bone cancer)… Bones are made up of healthy living cells which break down old bone tissues, thereby building new marrow and bone cells (Osteoclasts and Osteoblasts). When these cells can NO longer do the job that they are meant to do the bones can break down and weaken.Degenerative Bone Disease (DBD) is often confused with Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD):Degenerative bone disease not only causes damage to the bone, it can involve the joint. If the joint is involved, it can also cause deterioration to a joint's cartilage. Cartilage damage with DBD is secondary to its bone damage, because it is a disease of the bone that is primary. It is DBDs effect upon the bone that adds to the destruction of the cartilage. Once the cartilage is gone, it allows the two ends of the bone joint to rub together, thereby adding more corrosion of the weakened bone. The damage caused to the bone can become much more extensive once the cartilage of the joint is gone.Below are two types of Degenerative Joint Disease:Osteoarthritis - (This can add to DBD, but it is NOT the cause of it; it is Degenerative Joint Disease - DJD.)Rheumatoid Arthritis- (As with Osteoarthritis, this is degenerative joint disease - in overdrive! It causes serious inflammation in the joint and the surrounding tissues; this is what causes the extensive damage that is seen with this disease. RA causes serious deformities to the joint its connecting bone, as the bone and cartilage erodes. Rheumatoid Arthritis can add to DBD; it is NOT the cause it.)
Osteoarthritis is commonly referred to as degenerative joint disease or wear-and-tear arthritis. It may also be called degenerative arthritis, especially when emphasizing the gradual deterioration of cartilage in the joints. Additionally, some people simply refer to it as "arthritis," though this term encompasses various types of arthritis.
Traumatic injury, perhaps some sort of degenerative disease.
This would usual be done by stooping the inflammation that is doing the damage in the first place with anti inflammatory ( non steroidal or steroidal) or disease modifying drugs that stop the inflammation in the first place. n the case of some sorts of arthritis however the key lays more in using exercises to keep the muscles working.
Warmness of the skin around a joint is a common symptom. Another common symptom is swellign joints. You can find more info at healthcentral.com . Pain and discomfort in the joint area is the most common symptom of arthritis. Certain weather conditions can make the pain and swelling wose in some cases
Abdominal pain is the predominant symptom of ulcer disease. About 40% of patients have diarrhea as well. In some patients, diarrhea is the primary symptom of gastrinoma.
Heartburn is often a symptom of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), or can result from a gastric ulcer.
Degenerative spurring, also known as osteophytes, are bony growths that develop on the edges of bones. They can occur in various joints of the body, often as a result of wear and tear or aging. In some cases, degenerative spurs can cause pain and limit joint mobility.
