Costochondritis: Inflammation of cartilage in the ribs, causing chest pain. Osteoarthritis: The cartilage covering bones (articular cartilage) is thinned, eventually completely worn out, resulting in a "bone against bone" joint, resulting in pain and reduced mobility. Osteoarthritis is very common, affects the joints exposed to high stress and ...

[7]Gastrointestinal or systemic, such as celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (both often occur without obvious digestive symptoms), inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).
Other symptoms include thickening of the bone structure and accumulation of bone tissue, which both contribute to impaired joint mobility. Ligaments and cartilage can become ossified . [ 2 ] Most patients with skeletal fluorosis show side effects from the high fluoride dose such as ruptures of the stomach lining and nausea . [ 3 ]
There is no inflammation in the front of the eye (anterior chamber) or vitreous (the clear jelly inside the eye). This is an important distinguishing feature of PIC. • It usually affects both eyes. • The appearance of gray-white or yellow punctate (punched out) areas (lesions) at the level of the inner choroid.
A recent abstract presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America suggested that levothyroxine use in people with typical hormone ranges could lead to lower bone mass ...
Similarly, one of the main causes of persistent musculoskeletal pain is ongoing inflammation. Inflammation-related pain symptoms include heightened sensitivity to stimuli in the afflicted area. In rheumatological disorders with inflammation as the principal pathophysiological mechanism, chronic secondary musculoskeletal pain can be the main ...
