Osteoarthritis-Common Symptoms for Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the most common forms of arthritis affecting more than 20 millions of people in the United States alone. Osteoarthritis (OA) begins with the decomposition of cartilage in joints, resulting in joint pain, throbbing and stiffness.

Osteoarthritis commonly affects many different joints including joints in the fingers, knees, hips, and spine. Other joints also affected include the wrists, elbows, shoulders, and ankles. Joints with a history of injury or unusual stress are much more prone to developing osteoarthritis than other joints.

Rheumatoid Arthritis-Common Symptoms for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involves inflammation and possible deterioration of the lining of a myriad of different body joints. In some people, rheumatoid arthritis can also affect more than just the joints. It can affect the blood, the lungs, and even the heart. Inflammation of the joint lining, called the synovium, can cause a lot of pain, severe stiffness, swelling, warmth, and red discoloration. Joints affectged with RA may lose their shape, resulting in loss of normal mobility. RA can last a long time, and can be a disease of flaresups and remissions, where there is little to no activity.
Rheumatoid arthritis can start in any joint, but it most commonly begins in the smaller joints of the fingers, hands & wrists. Joint involvement is usually symmetrical meaning that if a joint hurts on the left hand the same joint will hurt on the right hand.

The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can be classified into two categories:

Symptoms related to the joints
Pain - Pain is present both at rest and during movement. The intensity of pain is felt more during movement than at rest. The pain is dull natured.
Tenderness - Tenderness is present over the affected joints and can be caused by a gentle pressure on the affected area by means of touch or pressure of clothes that will elicit pain.
Swelling - Swelling is present surrounding the joint structure. During early stages, the swelling is in fluid nature but as the disease advances it becomes thick and the joint appears enlarged. Thickening of the fluid of the joint causes joint stiffness, especially, when waking up from bed in the morning, also called morning stiffness, the longer the morning stiffness lasts the more active the disease.
Warmth over the joints - The skin over the affected joint is warm during the inflammation period of the joint.
Loss of movement - Movement is limited initially because of pain but becomes permanent due to erosion of joint surfaces.
Muscle wasting - The muscle around the inflamed joint gets wasted because of the disease process and lack of movement of the muscle.
Deformity - During the inflammation, the joint adapts a position of comfort. As the disease advances and irreversible joint changes occur, the deformity becomes permanent.

Example:- Hands
Buttonhole deformity - The finger resembles the shape of a Buttonhole where the joint of the finger present farther from the nail bed is bent and the finger joint nearer to the nail bed is extended.
Swan-neck deformity - The finger of the affected hand resembles the shape of neck of swan, where the joint present far from nail bed is extended and the finger joint nearer to the nail bed is bent.

Symptoms involving other areas of the body:
General body - General weakness, tiredness, exhaustion, weight loss and sometimes low grade fever.
Skin - Skin becomes thin, glossy and shiny.
Nodules - These can be present anywhere but commonly present over elbows. Nodules are round, firm and thick structures, which does not affect the joint movement.
Vasculitis - Vasculitis is an inflammation of blood vessel but it is fatal if Large Blood vessels are involved.
Heart - The pericardium layer made up of connective tissue covering the outer region of the heart gets inflamed and leads to heart problems.
Lungs - Lung complications arise due to marked increase of lung fibrous tissue.
Eyes - There will be inflammation and wasting of (Lacrimal duct) a tear secreting structure. Dry eyes and mouth, red eye are also associated symptoms.
Spleen - The spleen gets enlarged.

Gout Arthritis-Common Symptoms Gout Arthritis
Gout arthritis is caused by deposits of needle-like crystals of uric acid in the connective tissue near joints and/or in the spaces between joints. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include inflammation, swelling, and consistent pain in severe cases.
