Dr. Ruderman discusses the symptoms of arthritis.

Dr. Ruderman:
Pain, swelling, stiffness, redness of a joint - all symptoms of arthritis and those are shared equally by different types of arthritis. Stiffness in particular is one of the very common symptoms of inflammatory arthritis and so while typical degenerative arthritis might cause a little stiffness when you first get up in the morning for a few minutes, inflammatory arthritis will often cause people be stiff in the morning for two, three hours before their joints really start moving.
