Psoriatic arthritis, which is associated with the skin condition psoriasis, tends to affect the joints of the hands and feet. Enteropathic arthritis is a possible complication of inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis. Axial spondylitis involves inflammation in the spine and can eventually lead to spinal fusion, or ankylosing spondylitis. Also known as spondylitis, this umbrella term covers certain other rheumatoid diseases. As the immune cells interact with the local joint cells, he explains, it causes ever-increasing inflammation, with eventual damage and destruction of cartilage and bone. Cells of the immune system that normally don't belong in the joints accumulate there in large numbers, Fox says.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition affect the lining of the joints. Adults in their 50s and older are more likely to develop this chronic, progressive disease, and women are more vulnerable. With hip arthritis and knee arthritis, walking becomes more difficult as pain builds and flexibility decreases. Cartilage that normally cushions the joint breaks down over time, leading to stiffness and pain, especially with movement. The most common type, osteoarthritis is the "wear-and-tear" form that increases with age. It's commonly diagnosed in infants or children, but can persist into adulthood. Abnormal, side-to-side curvature of the spine, resulting in an S- or C-shaped appearance when seen from behind, is called scoliosis. Multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, interferes with bone marrow function and new bone production in the hips, pelvis, ribs, shoulders and spine, increasing the risk of fracture. Cancer that spreads to the bones from other parts of the body is more common, such as metastatic tumors from prostate or breast cancer. Cancer that originates in the bone, called primary bone cancer, is rare, accounting for less than 1% of all new cancers diagnosed, according to the National Cancer Institute. Also called overuse fractures, stress fractures are more common in active people like runners. Older adults are more vulnerable to falls and hip injuries because of balance issues, and as their bones may be more fragile, are likelier to break their hips. Kids are more likely to have wrist fractures while breaking a fall during sports or at play. For instance, children's bones are more flexible and resilient, and fractures heal more quickly. Gerardo Miranda-Comas, director of the sports medicine fellowship in the Department of Rehabilitation and Human Performance at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in New York City. "Fractures are very dependent on patient demographics," says Dr. Acute fractures are usually due to trauma, although they can be related to bone cancer. Osteomalacia (softening of the bones), hyperparathyroidism (overactive gland leading to bone calcium loss), Paget disease of bone (abnormally large, weakened bones) and developmental bone disorders affecting children are all different types of metabolic bone diseases. These are disorders of bone strength caused by mineral or vitamin deficiencies (such as vitamin D, calcium or phosphorus) that result inabnormal bone mass or structure.
Osteoporosis is one of several metabolic bone diseases. either have osteoporosis or are at high risk for developing it, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. Osteoporosis is an invisible condition, often doing its damage without people realizing they have it. One of the most prevalent bone conditions, osteoporosis involves bone loss, leading to weakened bones that are more likely to break. * CUSTOM WORD LIST OPTIONS!: Players and 3rd-party developers can create customized word and category listings to play with. * SURPRISE ENDINGS: Think the Kangaroo is safe if you get him off the block?
