Arthritis

Many of the nerves of the body pass between the sections that make up the back bone. between eachvertebra there is cartilage that keeps them apart and ensures smooth frictionless movement. when this cartilage becomes damaged or worn the vertebra come closer together leading to the nerves that pass between them having pressure put on them leading to pain damage and in some cases loss of the use of part of the body. Inflammation in certain places For instance, the carpal tunnel in the hand can exert pressure on the carpel nerve that controls part of the hand. this leads to tingling , pain and eventually loss of function in the hand and should be seen to before the damage becomes irreversible A similar problem can occur as a result of inflammation and or the build up of bone around the ulnar at the elbow (the area of the funny bone) where pressure is exerted on the ulnar nerve by bone build that is the result of advanced RA resulting in the same experience as carpel tunnel syndrome only on the Little finger side of the hand. So the effect on the nervous system would seem to be damage as the result of deformation of other part of the body that accommodate nerves. NOTE (This answer is written from the point of view of a person that has RA and has experienced all of the problems aside from the back bone and may in some sense not be totally accurate

a crystalline body, present in small quantity in the urine of man and most mammals. Combined in the form of urate of ammonia, it is the chief constituent of the urine of birds and reptiles, forming the white part. Traces of it are also found in the various organs of the body. It is likewise a common constituent, either as the free acid or as a urate, of urinary or renal calculi and of the so-called gouty concretions. From acid urines, uric acid is frequently deposited, on standing in a cool place, in the form of a reddish yellow sediment, nearly always crystalline. Chemically, it is composed of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, C5H4N4O3, and by decomposition yields urea, among other products. It can be made synthetically by heating together urea and glycocoll. It was formerly called also lithic acid, in allusion to its occurrence in stone, or calculus.

When you walk, your joints might pop themselves to destress. It is the same feeling your back gets after a good pop from a Chiropractor, the joints are destressing. Joints are supported by a complex arrangement of muscles and tendons. These keep the joint stable, allowing it to function properly. Some people have slightly lax joints and when this is the case the joint may click. Minor trauma such as a sprain may cause the joint to start clicking because inflammation and damage disrupts the stability and organization of the supporting muscles and tendons. Once this has healed the clicking disappears. In fact, more often than not the person won't even be aware that the injury has happened.

I think this is very fun, when you hear your own joints are clicking. I think the air getting into your joints will participant the bone metabolism. So that we can get the fresh bone right?

When there is inflammation in the subacromial bursa (a part of the shoulder joint), there is pain on elevation of the shoulder above the horizontal. This condition is variously called subacromial bursitis and shoulder impingement syndrome. If this condition is left untreated, eventually scar tissue will form in the shoulder joint. This scar tissue permanently restricts motion of the shoulder. This condition is called adhesive capsulitis, or frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder is treated conservatively by physical therapy, but if that doesn't work the orthopedist has to do one of 2 things: violently wrench the shoulder to break up the scar tissue, or do surgery to go in and break up the scar tissue.
