  • Arthritis, though never addressed as a disease or condition in the show, is obviously common around Stormalong Harbor. Many characters have been shown to possess it, including Doctor Barber, the Westman, the Little old lady, the Cleaning Crew, Ben Boozle, even Captain Ridiculous. Unlike real-world arthritis, which causes pain in the bones, joints, and ligaments of various body parts, Stormalong Arthritis actually causes nasty deformities on its victims. By far, it is Doctor Barber who has the most severe case of this.
  • Arthritis was a condition that affected joint movement, often causing discomfort and pain. After an entity known as the Darker had manipulated Chewbacca's emotions and turned the Wookiee against C-3PO, the protocol droid sprayed oil from his internal lubrication system in Chewbacca's face. Threepio claimed that without the oil lubricating his joints, that they would feel arthritic. In his later years, Gilad Pellaeon developed arthritis.
  • Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints. Jacob Carter is known to have suffered from arthritis. However, after blending with the Tok'ra Selmak, his arthritis was fully cured. (SG1: "The Tok'ra, Part 2")
  • Arthritis means inflammation of the joints. There are over a hundred different ways joints can become inflamed. Arthritis is a disabling condition as inflamed joints are harder to move. The most common forms of arthritis are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis of weight bearing joints like the knee is much more frequent in patients who are overweight. Unless patients with this type of osteoarthritis can lose weight their outcome is worse. There is an arthritis epidemic in the western world and the fast food industry adds to the epidemic.
  • It's often said that popping your knuckles can give you arthritis. But in reality, that sound is created because the extra CO2 is released on the areas between your joints and your bones.
  • Arthritis was a trans-species condition that caused joint inflammation and pain. It was known to affect older individuals. Tuffass, a Gand Gunnery Sergeant with the Republic Marines, developed arthritis in his lower back and right knee and hip, due to a length difference in his left leg. While the Gand was stationed on Carida, his condition was aggravated by the higher gravity. After his retirement, his arthritis had progressed to a point where Tuffass made use of a cane to aid in his mobility.
  • Arthritis was a medical condition affecting the sufferer's joints, caused by joint inflammation and commonly affecting the elderly. Mild arthritis caused stiffness and aches, while severe arthritis rendered hands and other limbs twisted and unusable. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Deep Knowledge) It was one of a number of handicaps that randomly afflicted Grey Orions of any age, due to their genetic mutilation. (FASA RPG - The Orions module: Book of Deep Knowledge) Hupyrians possessed a genetic disorder similar to arthritis. (DS9 novel: Avatar, Book One)
  • The word arthritis actually means joint inflammation. The term arthritis is used to describe more than 100 rheumatic diseases and conditions that affect joints, the tissues which surround the joint and other connective tissue. The pattern, severity and location of symptoms can vary depending on the specific form of the disease. Typically, rheumatic conditions are characterized by pain and stiffness in and around one or more joints. The symptoms can develop gradually or suddenly. Certain rheumatic conditions can also involve the immune system and various internal organs of the body.
  • Although arthritis is often seen as a disease of the elderly, it can strike people of any age. Treatment is designed to lessen the symptoms and allow the patient a fuller range of movement. Aspirin and Ibuprofen, in larger than normal doses, are the preferred treatment as in addition to reducing pain, these drugs reduce the inflammation and promote healing. Psoriatic arthritis is a genetic inflammatory disease that usually affects the joints, skin and nails of the hands and feet.
  • Arthritis ist eine entzündliche Erkrankung der Gelenke. Als General Chang während einer Gerichtsverhandlung den angeklagten Doktor Leonard McCoy nach seinem Gesundheitszustand befragt, antwortet dieser scherzhaft und zur Belustigung der anwesenden Klingonen: Abgesehen von einer leichten Arthritis, ausgesprochen gut. (Star Trek VI: Das unentdeckte Land)
  • Arthritis was a medical condition caused by joint inflammation, as a result of damage to the joints of the body. In 2267, an examination by Doctor McCoy found advanced arthritis in Captain Kirk's shoulder after Kirk complained of shoulder pain. The arthritis was a byproduct of the accelerated aging that Kirk and several other members of the USS Enterprise crew were experiencing. (TOS: "The Deadly Years" )

  • Although arthritis is often seen as a disease of the elderly, it can strike people of any age. Treatment is designed to lessen the symptoms and allow the patient a fuller range of movement. Aspirin and Ibuprofen, in larger than normal doses, are the preferred treatment as in addition to reducing pain, these drugs reduce the inflammation and promote healing. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disorder that affects many tissues and organs, but primarily the joints. It often progresses to destruction of cartilage. It is very common, affecting about one in every 100 people, although onset is usually between the ages of 40 and 50. It can be painful and disabling and can lead to a loss of function and mobility. Although it can be diagnosed by symptoms alone, there is a blood test for rheumatoid factor that is definitive. It is not related to rheumatic fever, but has many of the same symptoms. In addition to painkillers and steroids, RA can also be treated with drugs that target the antibodies involved. Rheumatoid arthritits is a frequent differential diagnosis, but has never been the underlying condition on House M.D.. Psoriatic arthritis is a genetic inflammatory disease that usually affects the joints, skin and nails of the hands and feet.
  • Arthritis was a medical condition caused by joint inflammation, as a result of damage to the joints of the body. In 2267, an examination by Doctor McCoy found advanced arthritis in Captain Kirk's shoulder after Kirk complained of shoulder pain. The arthritis was a byproduct of the accelerated aging that Kirk and several other members of the USS Enterprise crew were experiencing. (TOS: "The Deadly Years" ) By 2293, McCoy himself was suffering from mild arthritis due to his advanced age. In that year, when asked by Chang to state his current medical status, McCoy described his health status ("Aside from a touch of arthritis, I'd say pretty good.") rather than his status as a doctor, which was what Chang was asking for. This elicited some laughter from the audience to the murder trial. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) In another case of hyperaccelerated aging, Doctor Pulaski experienced acute arthritic inflammation after being afflicted by aggressive antibodies on the Darwin Genetic Research Station in 2365. (TNG: "Unnatural Selection" ) In yet another instance of artificially-accelerated aging in 2374, Commander Chakotay experienced chronic arthritis in his fingers as the result of Srivani experiments. (VOY: "Scientific Method") When The Doctor asked Lewis Zimmerman what the initial symptoms of his terminal illness were in 2376, Zimmerman sarcastically told him "radical hair loss", before finally giving The Doctor his true symptoms of fatigue, nausea, and joint inflammation. (VOY: "Life Line")

(Star Trek VI: Das unentdeckte Land) Als die USS Enterprise-D die USS Lantree findet, sind alle Besatzungmitglieder bereits gestorben. Sie sind rapide gealtert und weisen Anzeichen von Arthritis auf. Als Doktor Katherine Pulaski auch erkrankt, bekommt sie ebenfalls Probleme mit ihren Gelenken. (TNG: )
