ARTHRITIS - INFORMATION TO WIN A SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY (SSD, SSDI) OR SSI CLAIM


Arthritis is one of the most pervasive diseases and is the leading cause of disability.

Arthritis is a joint disorder featuring inflammation of one or more joints. Arthritis is frequently accompanied by joint pain, which is referred to as arthralgia. A joint is an area of the body where two different bones meet, and functions to move the body parts connected by the bones.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of every three individuals (an estimated 70 million people) is affected by one of the more than 100 types of arthritis. Some forms of arthritis are related to wear and tear of cartilage (such as osteoarthritis), while others are associated with inflammation resulting from an overactive immune system (such as rheumatoid arthritis). Together, the many forms of arthritis help make this the most common chronic illness in the United States.

The causes of arthritis depend on the form of arthritis. Causes include injury (leading to osteoarthritis), abnormal metabolism (leading to gout and pseudogout), inheritance, and infections. For some forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, the cause is not yet known.

Most people over the age of 50 show some signs of arthritis, as it is natural for the joints to degenerate over time. Fortunately, arthritis can be managed through a combination of treatments, including medication, exercise, rest, weight-management, nutrition, and, in some cases, surgery.

Arthritis can be diagnosed through the use of blood tests and x-rays. Your doctor will then be able to help you decide on the best treatment for your case.
