II. Definitions
- Arthritis
- Joint inflammation
- Arthralgia
- Joint Pain without inflammation
III. History: General
- See Monoarticular Arthritis
- See Polyarticular Arthritis
- Duration
- Acute (<2 to 6 weeks of symptoms)
- Subacute (2 to 6 weeks of symptoms)
- Chronic (>6 weeks of symptoms)
- Number of joints involved
- Monoarticular Arthritis
- Pauciarticular (Oligoarticular, 2-4 joints involved)
- Polyarticular Arthritis
- Migratory Arthritis
- Symmetric or Asymmetric (Polyarticular)
- Symmetric Polyarticular Arthritis
- Asymmetric Polyarticular Arthritis
- Course
- Intermittent
- Constant
- Distribution
- Spine and sacroiliac joints
- Medium and large joints (Shoulder, elbows, hips, knees)
- Small joints (wrists, fingers, toes)
- Joint inflammatory findings (synovitis or inflammatory Arthritis)
- Joint Swelling
- Joint erythema
- Prolonged morning Joint Stiffness (>1 hour)
- Pain and stiffness is better with activity and worse with rest
- Symmetric Polyarthritis
IV. History: Exposures and past medical history
- Triggers
- Joint Trauma (e.g. Traumatic Arthrotomy)
- Overuse
- Underlying conditions
- Prior affected joint surgery or procedures
- Infectious Disease
- Drug Induced lupus examples
V. History: Red Flags
-
Septic Joint Symptoms
- Fever
- Fatigue
- Weight loss
- Night Sweats
VI. History: Systemic Inflammatory Findings
- Rashes
- Oral Ulcers and Genital Ulcers
- Raynaud Phenomenon
- Serositis with Pleurisy or Pericarditis
- Sicca Syndrome with Dry Eyes (Xerophthalmia) or Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)
- Bowel inflammation (Enteropathic Arthritis)
- Vasculitis (e.g. CVA or TIA)
- Dactylitis (Sausage Digit)
VII. Exam: Distinguish pain source
- Articular (e.g. Arthritis, synovitis, joint contractures)
- Painful and reduced active AND passive range of motion
- Inflammatory Arthritis (red, warm, swollen, tender joints)
- Noninflammatory Arthritis
- Nonarticular or Periarticular (e.g. Muscles and tendons, ligaments, bursa)
- Normal passive range of motion
- Painful and reduced active range of motion and weak resisted range of motion
- Evaluate overlying skin and bursa
VIII. Labs: First Line
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
-
Synovial Fluid Exam (Joint Aspiration)
- Single most important test
- Diagnoses Septic Arthritis as well as crystal Arthropathy (gout, Pseudogout)
- See Synovial Fluid White Blood Cell Count
-
C-Reactive Protein
- More reliable acute phase reactant than ESR
- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
-
Antinuclear Antibody (ANA)
- Positive with many Rheumatologic Conditions
- Higher Specificity for SLE with High ANA titer, positive Anti-dsDNA and Anti-Sm
- Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibody
- Most specific for Rheumatoid Arthritis (especially erosive disease)
-
Rheumatoid Factor (RF)
- Nonspecific (positive for Hepatitis C, Tuberculosis, SBE, SLE, Vasvculitis)
- Serum Uric Acid
- Low Test Sensitivity and Test Specificity for gout
- Serum Uric Acid is often low in acute exacerbations, and high in unaffected patients
IX. Labs: Second-Line (consider)
- Additional Infectious Arthropathy labs
- Synovial biopsy indications (unclear cases)
- Sarcoidosis
- Tuberculosis
- Hemochromatosis
- Whipple Disease
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Skin or tissue biopsy indications
X. Evaluation
- Single joint involved
- See Monoarthritis for evaluation
- Multiple Joints WITH Synovitis (joint localized inflammation)
- See Polyarthritis for causes
- Symptoms >6 weeks suggests systemic Rheumatologic Condition
- Obtain first line labs above
- Consider second line labs as indicated
- Symptoms <6 weeks suggests Viral Arthritis (or early Rheumatologic Disease)
- Start with Complete Blood Count and Liver Function Tests
- Consider Viral Hepatitis Serology
- Consider Parvovirus B19 testing
- Consider Lyme Disease in endemic regions
- Consider first line labs above if persistent or severe symptoms
- Multiple Joints WITHOUT synovitis
- Consider Fibromyalgia if pain is localized to Tender Points
- Consider Osteoarthritis in sporadic Joint Pain
- Consider Non-Rheumatologic Differential Diagnosis (see Polyarthritis)
- Consider XRay of involved regions
- Labs to consider
XI. Imaging
- See XRay Changes in Rheumatic Conditions
- XRay
- Acute Monoarthritis
- XRay affected joint
- Initial XRay most often normal
- Polyarthritis
- XRay symptomatic joints or those most consistent with suspected condition
- Acute Monoarthritis
- CT or MRI of affected joint
- Not a first line study
- Use only for specific indications
- Joint Ultrasound
- May demonstrate joint erosions (e.g. Rheumatoid Arthritis)

If you feel pain and stiffness in your body or have trouble moving around, you might have arthritis. Most kinds of arthritis cause pain and swelling in your joints. Joints are places where two bones meet, such as your elbow or knee. Over time, a swollen joint can become severely damaged. Some kinds of arthritis can also cause problems in your organs, such as your eyes or skin. Types of arthritis include

A joint is where two or more bones come together, like the knee, hip, elbow, or shoulder. Joints can be damaged by many types of injuries or diseases, including
Treatment of joint problems depends on the cause. If you have a sports injury, treatment often begins with the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) method to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and speed healing. Other possible treatments include pain relievers, keeping the injured area from moving, rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery. For arthritis, injuries, or other diseases, you may need joint replacement surgery to remove the damaged joint and put in a new one.
