What Is Foot Arthritis?
Foot arthritis refers to the inflammation and degeneration of the joints within the foot and ankle, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. It can result from various factors, including wear-and-tear, autoimmune disorders, or previous injuries. Over time, the cartilage cushioning the joints erodes, causing bones to rub against each other.
Foot Arthritis Symptoms
-
Persistent joint pain, often worse with activity or after rest.
-
Stiffness in the foot, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
-
Swelling, tenderness, or warmth in the affected joints.
-
Difficulty walking, standing, or bearing weight.
-
Limited range of motion or joint deformity over time.
Causes of Foot Arthritis
Foot arthritis commonly arises from osteoarthritis, where cartilage breaks down over time due to aging or repetitive stress. Other significant causes include rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition that attacks joint linings, and post-traumatic arthritis, which develops after an injury like a fracture or dislocation. Genetics and obesity can also contribute to its development.
