ARTHRITIS causes pain, inflammation and stiffness of certain joints. The most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, but there are also other types. Watch out for these five, lesser known types of the painful joint condition.
Arthritis is a common joint problem affecting around 10 million people in the UK.
The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Osteoarthritis affects the large majority of arthritis sufferers, at around eight million people, while rheumatoid arthritis affects over 400,000 people.
Osteoarthritis mostly affects the hands, spine, knees and hips. It roughens and thins out the cartilage lining of joints, causing swelling and the formation of bony spurs called osteophytes.
Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the immune system targets joints, causing swelling and a change in the joint’s shape.
Here are five other, lesser known types of arthritis.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition causing widespread pain all over the body.
Pain affects the body’s muscles, ligaments and tendons, and may also lead to muscle stiffness.
Lupus
Lupus is an autoimmune condition causing inflammation to the organs and body’s tissues, such as the skin.
It causes joint pain and stiffness, as well as skin rashes.
Gout
Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the body, which can be left in joints causing pain, redness and swelling.
It usually affects the big toe, but can develop in any joint.

Psoriatic arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory joint condition affecting people with psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, flaky, crusty patches of skin.
Enteropathic arthritis
Enteropathic arthritis is a form of chronic, inflammatory arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease.
The most common affected areas are the limbs and spine.
“The symptoms of arthritis you experience will vary depending on the type you have,” said the NHS.
“This is why it's important to have an accurate diagnosis if you have: joint pain, tenderness and stiffness; inflammation in and around the joints; restricted movement of the joints; warm, red skin over the affected joint; weakness and muscle wasting.”
