Definition: The term "amarthritis" in English refers to a condition characterized by inflammation of the joints, often causing pain and swelling in the affected area. It's named after the Greek words "am," which means "to break," and "klotho," which means "joint." This is not to be confused with "arthritic arthritis," another term for the same condition but with a different origin. The disease has been present since ancient times, and it's often associated with certain diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or rheumatic fever. The specific symptoms of amarthritis vary from person to person depending on the age, gender, and underlying conditions. However, some common features include: 1. Pain in joints, especially around knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, ankles, and hands. 2. Swelling or warmth around the joint where inflammation is occurring. 3. Redness or swelling of the skin surrounding the joint. 4. Paresthesia (loss of sensation) at the affected joints. 5. Wound infection in the affected area. Treatment depends on the underlying cause such as medications, physical therapy, and injections to relieve pain and restrict swelling. This is a chronic condition that requires regular visits with a healthcare provider.
