There are several types of arthritis that most commonly affect seniors -- osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. And while it is possible for some people to have multiple types, osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common of the three types for the elderly to have.
The effective treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) includes medications that slow the progression of joint damage and deformity. These drugs are called disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and they are a vital part of an overall treatment plan. Doctors prescribe DMARDs for people with inflammatory arthritis who are at risk of permanent joint damage.
