7. Quick Facts About Arthritis
More than 54 million adults in the U.S. have doctor-diagnosed arthritis.
Arthritis is a leading cause of pain and disability in adults.
Most arthritis symptoms can be managed with a combination of healthy habits and appropriate treatment.
Inflammation is a common underlying cause of arthritis pain and stiffness.
Anti-inflammatory medications are among the most commonly used options for arthritis pain relief.
Arthritis can cause joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. It may affect the knees, hands, hips, shoulders, spine, ankles, or other joints, making everyday movement more difficult.
Two common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Although their causes differ, both may involve joint inflammation, discomfort, and stiffness.
Flanax offers non-opioid pain relief options that may help relieve minor aches and pains when used as directed.
Arthritis Pain Relief With Flanax
Arthritis refers to conditions that involve joint inflammation, pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility. Symptoms may affect one joint or several joints, and they can interfere with walking, gripping, lifting, bending, or other daily activities.
Many adults experience arthritis discomfort in the knees, hands, hips, shoulders, spine, ankles, or wrists. Arthritis pain may feel worse in the morning, after long periods of inactivity, after repetitive movement, or during flare-ups.
Understanding the type of arthritis and the symptoms involved can help guide appropriate care and pain relief options.
Osteoarthritis and Joint Wear
Osteoarthritis is a common form of arthritis that is often related to joint wear, repetitive use, age-related changes, previous injury, posture, or stress on a specific joint.
Osteoarthritis may affect one or more joints, including the knees, hips, hands, shoulders, spine, ankles, or elbows.
Common osteoarthritis symptoms include:
- Joint stiffness, especially after rest or in the morning
- Inflammation or swelling around the joint
- Pain that worsens after movement, exercise, or repetitive use
- Reduced range of motion
- Tenderness or discomfort during daily activities
- Joint discomfort during damp or rainy weather
Weight management, rest, supportive braces, movement adjustments, and appropriate pain relief may help some adults manage everyday osteoarthritis discomfort. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any treatment plan.
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Inflammation
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system affects the joints. It can cause inflammation, pain, swelling, stiffness, and, in some cases, changes in joint structure over time.
Unlike some forms of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis often affects joints on both sides of the body and may involve symptoms beyond joint pain.
Common rheumatoid arthritis symptoms may include:
- Joint pain, swelling, or tenderness
- Morning stiffness or stiffness after rest
- Fatigue or general discomfort
- Reduced mobility or grip strength
- Warmth or sensitivity around affected joints
- Changes in joint shape or function over time
Rheumatoid arthritis should be evaluated and managed with guidance from a healthcare professional. Pain relief options may help with minor aches and pains, but they do not replace medical care for rheumatoid arthritis.
