It occurs when the cartilage that cushions the joints breaks down over time. In the foot and ankle, OA commonly affects the big toe joint, midfoot, and ankle.<\/span><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Symptoms:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pain, stiffness, and swelling that worsens with activity.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Causes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Aging, repetitive stress, previous injuries, or obesity.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RA is an autoimmune disorder where the body&#8217;s immune system attacks healthy joint tissue, leading to inflammation. It often affects multiple joints in the foot and ankle symmetrically.<\/span><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Symptoms:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Persistent pain, swelling, warmth, and deformity.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Causes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> An overactive immune system; the exact trigger is unknown but may involve genetic and environmental factors.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Post-Traumatic Arthritis (PTA)<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-traumatic arthritis develops after an injury to the foot or ankle, such as fractures, sprains, or dislocations. Even with proper treatment, the joint may experience wear and tear over time, leading to arthritis.<\/span><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Symptoms:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pain, swelling, and stiffness, often years after the injury.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Causes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Damage to the cartilage or changes in joint mechanics due to the injury.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gout<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints, particularly the big toe. It is often episodic, with sudden and severe flare-ups.<\/span><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Symptoms:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Intense pain, redness, warmth, and swelling.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><b>Causes:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> High uric acid levels due to diet, genetics, or other health conditions.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)<\/b><b><br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psoriatic arthritis is associated with psoriasis, a chronic skin condition.
