Arthritis – Symptoms & Causes

Joint Redness

Arthritis would lead to redness and swelling around the affected joints. This symptom is especially obvious in rheumatoid arthritis where the immune system of your body mistakenly attacks the synovial membrane, which is the lining of your joint capsules. Also, gout would trigger redness because of the accumulation of uric acid on your feet. This typically indicates the inflammation of your joints due to arthritis. If it occurs on your hands, it can be hard to remove the rings or similar items. [3]
