However, the two disorders also share the same ultimate end, chronic pain, particularly neck pain, back pain, and sciatica, and disability. The ultimate end or prognosis does not have to be chronic and debilitating pain, leading to disability, if the proper treatment strategy is engaged early on and aggressively followed. This article seeks to distinguish between the two types of arthritis and to offer some strategies for dealing with them. We will go into greater depth concerning specific exercises and treatment in an article later this week.No related posts.]]> http://www.rheumatoidarthritissupport.com/article/how-to-understand-rheumatoid-arthritis-osteoarthritis-chronic-pain-and-treatment-strategies/feed 0 http://www.rheumatoidarthritissupport.com/article/understanding-rheumatoid-arthritis-dealing-with-chronic-pain-associated-with-ra-part-ii http://www.rheumatoidarthritissupport.com/article/understanding-rheumatoid-arthritis-dealing-with-chronic-pain-associated-with-ra-part-ii#comments Fri, 28 Jan 2011 05:03:58 +0000 http://www.rheumatoidarthritissupport.com/article/understanding-rheumatoid-arthritis-dealing-with-chronic-pain-associated-with-ra-part-ii Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease that affects millions around the world every year. The constellation of symptoms, to include chronic joint pain and neck pain, back pain, and sciatica in the latter stages, are both debilitating and disabling. The cause of RA, while understood, is not without aggravating factors. The symptomology is complex and the disease expressions are myriad. Not only is there systemic, chronic pain in the latter stages, affecting joints throughout the body and hastening their degeneration, there is considerable damage to other organ systems, as well. Treatment of RA is problematic and understanding it in its entirety is something of problematic. We have reviewed the etiology (cause), consequences, symptoms, and some of the treatment strategies pertaining to RA, in Part III we will deal with specific treatment strategies available in greater depth, perhaps suggesting a couple of new ones.No related posts.]]> http://www.rheumatoidarthritissupport.com/article/understanding-rheumatoid-arthritis-dealing-with-chronic-pain-associated-with-ra-part-ii/feed 0 http://www.rheumatoidarthritissupport.com/article/what-is-the-significant-difference-between-osteoarthritis-and-rheumatoid-arthritis http://www.rheumatoidarthritissupport.com/article/what-is-the-significant-difference-between-osteoarthritis-and-rheumatoid-arthritis#comments Fri, 28 Jan 2011 05:03:36 +0000 http://www.rheumatoidarthritissupport.com/article/what-is-the-significant-difference-between-osteoarthritis-and-rheumatoid-arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are two widely different forms of arthritis, which is a general term that features over 100 rheumatoid disorders.
