How can a Dr. decide if it's OsteoArthritis or just Arthritis?

What's the difference?

But Craig, yours IS the shortest!!

Hi Chris,

There is no "just arthritis" it is either osteo or rheumatoid,

Osteo is to the bones and rheumatoid is to the joints and muscles.

The physical signs and symptoms will tell the doctor which type it is.

Love Mel.

What you call 'just arthritis' is 'osteoarthritis.' If you have been paying attention in school, you would know that the shortest answer is always wrong!

I have osteo in my back
and regular in my hands
there is definately a difference
