Ankylosing Spondylitis

Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.

Gout

Gout

Gout is a form of arthritis characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness, and swelling in the joints, often the big toe. It is caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints and tissues, leading to inflammation and intense discomfort. Gout flares can be triggered by certain foods, alcohol consumption, or underlying health conditions.

Lupus

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, and brain. It occurs when the immune system attacks healthy tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. Symptoms of lupus can vary widely and may include fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, fever, and organ involvement.

Myositis

Myositis is a group of inflammatory muscle diseases characterized by muscle weakness, pain, and inflammation. It occurs when the body’s immune system attacks muscle fibers, leading to muscle damage and dysfunction. Myositis can affect individuals of all ages and may be associated with other autoimmune conditions, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.

Pseudogout

Pseudogout

Pseudogout, also known as calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD), is a type of arthritis caused by the buildup of calcium pyrophosphate crystals in the joints. It shares similarities with gout in terms of symptoms, including sudden joint pain, swelling, and inflammation. Pseudogout commonly affects the knees, wrists, ankles, and other joints and can be triggered by various factors, such as trauma or surgery.
