Inflammatory arthritis is a general term that includes an array of autoimmune conditions that attack the joints of the body and present as stiffness, pain, warmth and swelling in the joints. The most common type of inflammatory arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis. Other forms of inflammatory arthritis include psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthritis, gout, pseudogout, and others. Left untreated, inflammatory arthritis will progress and result in pain, damage to the joints, and disability. Fortunately, there are more treatments available than ever before to help manage symptoms, slow progression and damage, and preserve quality of life.
