Arthritis Diagnosis by Symptoms Including Rheumatoid
Arthritis is a diagnostic umbrella for 170 conditions affecting joints, skin and internal organs. The most common types are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Arthritis can cause problems to bones, eyes, chest or skin. Because so many conditions not only look like arthritis, but are arthritis, a variety of tests, usually in combination, is required to pin a useful name on the pain symptom cluster.
