GLOSSARY

Arthritis:  Inflammation of a joint, usually accompanied by pain, swelling, and stiffness, and resulting from infection, trauma, degenerative changes, metabolic disturbances, or other causes. It occurs in various forms, such as bacterial arthritis, osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis, the most common form, is characterized by a gradual loss of cartilage and often an overgrowth of bone at the joints.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:  A common, painful defect of the wrist and hand. It is caused by pressure on the middle nerve in the carpal tunnel. The syndrome is seen more often in women, especially in pregnant and in menopausal women. Symptoms may result from a blow, swelling, a tumor, rheumatoid arthritis, or a small carpal tunnel that squeezes the nerve. Pain may be infrequent or constant and is often most intense at night.

Gout:  A disease characterized by an increased blood uric acid level and sudden onset of episodes of acute arthritis.

Heberden's Nodes:  Bony swellings around the margins of joints, associated with degenerative changes of arthritis.

Osteoporosis:  A disease in which bone tissue becomes porous and brittle. The disease primarily affects postmenopausal women.

Rheumatism:  General term applied to conditions of pain, or inability to articulate, various elements of the musculoskeletal system.

Rheumatoid Arthritis:  A long-term, destructive connective tissue disease that results from the body rejecting its own tissue cells (autoimmune reaction).

Stress Fracture:  Stress fractures occur when a bone is exposed to an excess amount of force. The force produces a small fracture that is not usually seen on X-ray until 2-3 weeks later, when a callus has formed around the injury. Symptoms include pain during an extreme or long workout that may or may not stop with termination of activity; swelling; pain upon touching.
