Arthritis encompasses over 100 conditions causing joint inflammation, with the most common being osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear degeneration) and rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune inflammation). These conditions cause joint pain, stiffness, swelling, reduced range of motion, and sometimes systemic symptoms like fatigue. Travel can exacerbate arthritis through climate changes (humidity and pressure changes affect joint pain), increased activity, disrupted medication routines, and diet changes. Managing symptoms while traveling is important to maintain mobility, prevent flare-ups that could disrupt plans, and avoid permanent joint damage in inflammatory types. Diagnosis involves physical examination, blood tests for inflammatory markers and antibodies, and sometimes imaging studies. Treatment approaches include anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs for autoimmune types, physical therapy, joint injections (corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid), supportive devices, and lifestyle modifications. Mexican rheumatologists typically provide more time for comprehensive evaluations than US counterparts, with many offering integrative approaches combining conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies. Prescription medications are often significantly less expensive in Mexico, offering substantial savings for travelers needing refills.
