There are 187 joints in the human body, which can be affected by about a hundred joint diseases. The joints affected by the disease swell and begin to hurt. In the area of the affected joint, the skin turns red and swells. In the absence of adequate treatment, destructive processes occur in the joint, as a result of which their mobility is disrupted.
Different joint diseases have similar symptoms, but are treated differently. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor when the first symptoms appear, undergo diagnostic examinations and start treatment.
