Duration

Acute and chronic inflammation of the joint mucosa is distinguished. In acute inflammation, symptoms occur due to trauma or overloading of the joint. These symptoms occur over a shorter period of time than chronic synovitis.

In chronic synovialitis, age-related wear and tear of the joints or other diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis play a decisive role. Inflammation can also develop over a long period of time due to repetitive movements, for example at work. Usually, the symptoms get worse over time without any improvement.

Inflammation of the joint mucosa in the knee

Usually, inflammation of the joint mucosa in the knee occurs in occupational groups with kneeling activities, such as tilers or cleaning staff, as the risk is greatly increased due to the constant permanent stress. The increased strain and pressure exerted on the knee causes severe irritation. Frequent causes are also traumas that affect the knee and can lead to inflammation.

Joint mucosa inflammation in the shoulder

As in other joints, there is a joint capsule in the shoulder which can be affected by inflammation. Since the shoulder is constantly in motion in everyday life, inflammatory processes can often occur. Trauma can also be the cause of synovialitis in the shoulder joint.In athletes who perform repeated throwing movements, the risk of articular mucosa inflammation of the shoulder is increased by the constant constant movement.

Joint mucosa inflammation in the hip

Inflammation of the joint mucosa in the hip can occur in the course of life for a variety of reasons. Since our hips are exposed to great stress in everyday life, inflammations of the hip are not uncommon. In most cases, several degenerative diseases occur simultaneously in old age due to wear and tear of the joints, for example arthrosis, which can be the cause of synovitis and should also be treated.

Joint mucosa inflammation on the wrist

Synovialitis on the wrist often occurs in patients with rheumatism. Since this disease is accompanied by arthritis of the finger joints, inflammation of the synovial membranes usually occurs. The joints swell painfully due to the growths of the synovial membrane. In the wrist, rheumatoid arthritis can lead to the so-called Caput-ulnae syndrome, which causes pronounced swelling and pain when the wrist is stretched.
