Lower Back

Any part of the back can be affected by arthritis, but arthritis in the lower back can be the most painful, since it supports more body weight.

Arthritis in the lower back tends to take place over time and is typically caused by a gradual degeneration of the spine as people get older. Lower back arthritis can affect even the slightest bending and stretching of the back.

Symptoms of arthritis in the lower back:

  • pain in the lower back area, which can extend to surrounding areas
  • muscle spasms and stiffness in the lower back
  • decreased range of motion

Knee

Osteoarthritis of the knee is more common in older people, but it can happen to people of all ages.

There are three main types of arthritis that occurs in the knee:

  • osteoarthritis
  • rheumatoid arthritis
  • post-traumatic arthritis

Symptoms of arthritis in the knee include:

  • swelling
  • tenderness
  • pain
  • locking
  • popping sounds
