संधिशोथ और संधिवात शोथ (sandhishoth aur sandhivAt shoth)

Arthritis means inflammation of a joint(s) causing pain, swelling and stiffness, whereas rhematoid arthritis means an autoimmune disease which causes chronic inflammation of the joints, the tissue around the joints, as well as other organs in the body. Because it can affect multiple other organs of the body, rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic illness and is sometimes called rheumatoid disease.

My father was an Aurvedic doctor, therefore I am knowing commonly spoken words. But the fact is different, nowadays the allopathic advances are narrowing down to different aspect of a particular disease. In those days it was not so. Therefore there are no suitable terms available. It is better to transliterate them. Gathia, in English is known as Gout. Here I would leave it to peers to take decision. In my opinion these terms are better choice.My father was an Aurvedic doctor, therefore I am knowing commonly spoken words.
