OVERVIEW
Your immune system is your body’s defense against all kinds of germs and diseases – but with certain types of arthritis, the same system that’s meant to protect you can also play a role in the development of the disease.
​
Arthritis pain and your immune system are related in two ways. Inflammation and arthritis pain can trigger an autoimmune response from your body that’s meant to help heal the damage, but it could temporarily worsen your symptoms. When the tissues and fibres in your joint is injured, the immune system sends its army, white blood cells that release chemicals to the injury part. The concentration of these chemicals resulting a boost in blood circulation to the area, causing inflammation, pain, and irritation, which can heal the damaged area, then symptoms of inflammation should subside.
​
However, in a recent study, it was reported that monocytes, the white blood cells necessary to regulate immune responses, were more activated and pro-inflammatory in subjects with osteoarthritis. Conversely, your immune system can trigger autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis for an unknown reason, causing lasting damage to good cells in your body.
