rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease whereas osteoarthritis is due to progressive degeneration of the joint. rheumatoid arthritis is the one that can disfigure your hands, osteoarthritis usually does not.
Osteoarthritis is Not an auto-immune disorder. It’s just plain bone degeneration.
Rheumatoid arthritis IS an auto-immune disorder where your body’s anitbodies attack the connective tissue in and around the joints. Enbrel, Remicade, or Humira are the latest medicines for Rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis will generally not respond to these “biologics” — a fancy name for designer drugs that have mouse or human proteins attached within the actual drug molecule.
Side Note: Gout, the body’s inability to excrete uric acid effectively, is closely related to Rheumatoid arthritis.
