The following is from webmd:\n\n What is rheumatoid arthritis? \n\nRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a relatively common disease of the joints. In rheumatoid arthritis, the membranes or tissues (synovial membranes) lining the joints become inflamed (synovitis). Over time, the inflammation may destroy the joint tissues, leading to disability. Rheumatoid arthritis affects women twice as often as men, and frequently begins between the ages of 40 and 60. \n\nThere are many types of arthritis (disease of the joints). Rheumatoid arthritis causes inflammation of the synovial membrane of the joints. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis affects young children. For more information, see the topic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Osteoarthritis, a more common type of arthritis, has different symptoms and requires different treatment. For more information, see the topic Osteoarthritis.\n..........................................\nAS you can see, none of this deals with why or how.\n\nThat's because 'arthritis' is a catagorical name given to a set of certain symptoms.\n\nMany doctors simply  diagnose symptoms and treat them conveniently with drugs.

Rheumatoid arthritis \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nRheumatoid arthritis is due to an abnormal reaction of the body's immune system to the joints. It can also attack other parts of the body like the muscles, lungs, skin, blood vessels, nerves and eyes. It is most commonly seen in people between the ages of 40 and 60, especially in women. \n\n\nWhich joints are affected? \nRheumatoid arthritis often affects the small joints, especially of the wrists, hands and feet. It causes pain, stiffness and swelling which is worst in the morning. Later, other joints like the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and ankles may also be involved. The affected person may find difficulty in gripping eating utensils, turning taps, dressing or writing.\n\n\nWhat is the Treatment? \nOccupational Therapy and Physiotherapy\nOccupational therapy and physiotherapy help to improve your ability to function independently. Your occupational therapist can teach you how to use specially designed tools like large-handled spoons to carry out your daily activities.\n\n\nHeat/Cold Treatment and Medication\nFor stiff joints, warm water or a heating pad can help. With a hot, painful joint, cold packs or water may be better. Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis involves taking medicines which reduce the pain and swelling of the joints. Other medicines to slow down the progress of the disease may be added later.\n\n\nSurgery\nIn the later stages, surgery may be needed to repair and replace badly damaged joints. \n\n\nHi, Do visit my webpage to find out more.\nhttp://www.bonesnjoints.cjb.net\nMany patients took our solutions and felt better.\nGrow black hair again, nicer nails, firmer skin, younger look, lower sugar level, lower high blood...

Arthritis(from Greek arthro-, joint + -itis, inflammation) is a group of conditions that affect the health of the bone joints in the body. One in three adult Americans suffer from some form of arthritis and the disease affects about twice as many women as men.\n\nArthritic diseases include rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis, which are autoimmune diseases; septic arthritis, caused by joint infection; and the more common osteoarthritis, or degenerative joint disease. Arthritis can be caused from strains and injuries caused by repetitive motion, sports, overexertion, and falls. Unlike the autoimmune diseases, osteoarthritis largely affects older people and results from the degeneration of joint cartilage. Other forms are discussed below.\n\nArthritic joints can be sensitive to weather changes. The increased sensitivity is thought to be caused by the affected joints developing extra nerve endings in an attempt to protect the joint from further damage.\n\nThe carpal tunnel is the space between this sheath (above) and the bones (below) making up the wrist and hand (carpal bones). The term 'carpal tunnel' is also used quite commonly to refer to 'carpal tunnel syndrome' which is a condition where the median nerve is pinched within the tunnel and causes pain and/or numbness of the wrist/hand, once thought to be a result of repetitive motion such as painting or typing.\n\nThey are two different things.

X-rays show skeletal problems, not muscle or nerve damage. See a neurologist

I know that there are some blood tests to rule out some reasons for joint pain.  If they have been ruled out, you need to talk to your doctor about other possible causes.  \n\nOne might be a problem in your cervical and lumbar spine.  Its also possible that you have a condition called fibromyalgia.  Arthritis comes to mind as well.  \n\nA pinched nerve can cause a lot of the symptoms your having.  See your doctor.  If he doesn't do anything, get another doctor.  Good luck.
