Understanding Arthritis: Types, Causes, and Modern Treatments
Arthritis is not a single disease but a group of conditions affecting the joints and surrounding tissues. It can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, often limiting daily activities.
The most common forms are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, each with distinct characteristics. Early diagnosis and tailored treatment are essential for effective management. From medications and physical therapy to lifestyle adjustments and surgical options, several approaches can help patients lead a more comfortable, active, and fulfilling life.
Persistent Joint Pain in Daily Movements
Pain often worsens with activity but usually improves with adequate rest and joint support.
Stiffness After Rest or Morning Hours
Morning stiffness lasting beyond thirty minutes can indicate rheumatoid arthritis
Visible Swelling and Inflammation in Joints
Swelling often brings warmth, tenderness, and discomfort, signaling ongoing inflammation within affected joints.
Reduced Flexibility and Limited Joint Movement
Restricted range of motion reduces flexibility, making daily activities increasingly difficult over time.
Unexplained Fatigue or Low Energy Levels
Systemic arthritis types like rheumatoid arthritis often cause fatigue, weakness, and reduced stamina.
Weight Loss or Fever with Inflammation
Advanced rheumatoid arthritis may cause fever, appetite loss, and unintended weight reduction.
Pain and Stiffness in Hands
Rheumatoid arthritis often targets the small joints, causing pain, stiffness, and deformity.
Treatment Options for Osteoarthritis Explained
Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis which occurs with advancing age, caused by gradual cartilage breakdown in the joints. It leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, especially in the knees, hips, and spine. At Jhansi Orthopaedic Hospital, under the expert guidance of Dr. Gaurav Gupta, patients receive advanced, personalized osteoarthritis treatment. Options include lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, medications, and surgical procedures. This comprehensive approach ensures effective pain relief, joint protection, and improved mobility, helping patients remain active and independent for longer.
Persistent Joint Pain in Daily Movements
Pain often worsens with activity but usually improves with adequate rest and joint support.
Stiffness After Rest or Morning Hours
Morning stiffness lasting beyond thirty minutes can indicate rheumatoid arthritis
Swelling and Tenderness in Affected Joints
Swelling, warmth, and tenderness are common in advanced osteoarthritis, signaling joint inflammation.
Reduced Flexibility and Joint Range of Motion
Limited flexibility makes bending, climbing stairs, or daily activities increasingly difficult over time.
Grating Sensation or Joint Instability Noticed
Grinding or cracking sounds occur when damaged cartilage causes friction within the joint. Instability of joint occurs when arthritis advances to severe stage
Progressive Loss of Strength and Function
Over time, weakened joints reduce independence, impacting walking, lifting, or other physical activities.

Real stories of lasting relief
"My name is Harishchandra Mishra, I am 62 years old. For the last 7 years, I was suffering from severe knee pain. Walking, climbing stairs, and even playing with my grandchildren had become very difficult. I had to depend on a stick for support. In July, I met Dr. Gaurav Gupta in Jhansi. He explained robotic knee replacement surgery to me – how it gives precise results, less pain, and faster recovery. His words gave me confidence. On 20th July, I underwent bilateral robotic knee replacement with Johnson & Johnson Attune implants. The surgery went smoothly. Soon after, I started physiotherapy and with each day, my knees became stronger.
Today, I walk without a stick, free from pain, and can enjoy life again with my grandchildren. I am truly grateful to Dr. Gupta and his team for giving me a new life."
"My name is Beerpala, and I am a farmer by profession. For 6 years, I had severe pain and deformity in both knees. Walking, squatting, climbing stairs, even doing my farm work had become impossible. My legs were bowed, and the pain was unbearable – almost 9/10. I visited many hospitals in Madhya Pradesh, including Gwalior, but due to my financial limitations and being an Ayushman card holder, I could not get the surgery done. Every hospital refused. Then I saw an advertisement for Jhansi Orthopaedics Hospital, where they assured me of a cashless robotic knee replacement under the Ayushman scheme. I met Dr. Gaurav Gupta on 16th May 2024. He examined me thoroughly and explained robotic-assisted knee replacement. On 17th May 2024, I underwent robotic knee replacement for my right knee. The surgery went smoothly. Right from the same day, physiotherapy started. Within days, I was able to sit, stand, and walk with a walker. By the time of discharge, I could walk up to 50 meters with much better balance and strength. Today, I feel stronger, can move freely, and have hope of returning to my farm work again. I am deeply thankful to Dr. Gupta and his team for giving me a new life through advanced robotic surgery."

Robotic assisted bilateral knee surgery
Most patients suffer from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis affects cartilage wear of larger joints ( Knee, Hip) , while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition attacking the small joints of the hand first and then affecting larger joints such as the knee.
If joint pain persists with stiffness, swelling, or reduced movement, especially in the morning, it may be arthritis and needs professional evaluation.
While common in older adults, arthritis can affect younger people too, especially if there is joint injury, family history, or autoimmune conditions.
Maintaining a healthy weight, eating anti-inflammatory foods, staying active with low-impact exercise, and practicing joint protection techniques can significantly reduce arthritis symptoms.
Seek medical advice if stiffness or pain lasts beyond two weeks, interferes with daily activities, or is accompanied by swelling and fatigue.
Yes. Physical therapy strengthens muscles, improves flexibility, and relieves pain, helping patients maintain joint function and avoid unnecessary surgical interventions later.
Options include joint injections, biologic therapies, or surgical procedures such as joint replacement. The right choice depends on arthritis severity and progression.
Some patients experience symptom relief through acupuncture, massage, or supplements. While not a replacement, they can complement standard medical treatments effectively.
Biologic therapies target specific parts of the immune system, offering more precise treatment, while traditional drugs generally reduce overall inflammation and slow disease progression.
