4. Arthritis and Rheumatic Diseases: Questions and Answers About Reactive Arthritis

Reactive arthritis is a form of arthritis, or joint inflammation, that occurs as a "reaction" to an infection elsewhere in the body. Inflammation is a characteristic reaction of tissues to injury or disease and is marked by swelling, redness, heat, and pain. Besides this joint inflammation, reactive arthritis is associated with two other symptoms: redness and inflammation of the eyes (conjunctivitis) and inflammation of the urinary tract (urethritis). Reactive arthritis is also known as Reiter's syndrome, and your doctor may refer to it by yet another term, as a seronegative spondyloarthropathy... (Examples of other disorders in this group include psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and the kind of arthritis that sometimes accompanies inflammatory bowel disease.)

Rheumatic diseases are characterized by inflammation (signs are redness and/or heat, swelling, and pain) and loss of function of one or more connecting or supporting structures of the body.

There are more than 100 rheumatic diseases. Many people use the word "arthritis" to refer to all rheumatic diseases. However, the word literally means joint inflammation.

Some rheumatic diseases are described as connective tissue diseases because they affect the supporting framework of the body and its internal organs.

Their goal is to treat all aspects of arthritis pain and help you learn to manage your pain. The physician, other health care professionals, and you, the patient, all play an active role in the management of arthritis pain. How Is Arthritis Pain Treated?

A number of treatments can provide short-term pain relief.
