Understanding Arthritis and Joint Pain
Arthritis is a common condition that causes inflammation and pain in one or more joints. It can lead to stiffness, reduced mobility, and a significant impact on daily activities. The most common types include osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition. At Baytown Internal Medicine, we specialize in diagnosing and treating arthritis and chronic joint pain to help patients regain mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve their quality of life.
Symptoms and When to Seek Treatment
Symptoms of arthritis and joint pain may include swelling, tenderness, stiffness, warmth around the joint, and reduced range of motion. These symptoms can be intermittent or persistent and may worsen over time without proper treatment. Joint pain can result from injury, overuse, or an underlying medical condition. If you experience consistent pain, morning stiffness, or joint swelling that interferes with daily tasks, it’s time to seek a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan.
