Arthritis
What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a chronic rheumatic condition. There are 10 million people living with arthritis in the UK. One in five of the adult population in the UK has the condition and it can affect people of all ages. In fact there are 12,000 children in the UK with arthritis and 27,000 people (approx.) living with arthritis are under the age of 25.
The Symptoms of Foot and Lower Body Arthritis include painful swelling, inflammation plus stiffness in the legs and feet. The occurrence of any of these in the same joints on both sides of the body, especially on awakening, may be signs that you are suffering from foot and lower body arthritis.
The Causes of Foot and Lower Body Arthritis
Many different things can lead to arthritis. Some common causes include:
- Your weight; many overweight people suffer from arthritis.
- Previous injuries can lead to arthritis in the affected joint.
- Repetitive action that puts stress on a particular joint. Runners, walkers, dancers, and construction workers are examples of people at risk.
