What is Synovitis?
Synovium is the smooth lining of a bone joint and Synovitis is when that lining becomes inflamed. During the inflammatory process, the synovium becomes thicker and can make the joint swollen and puffy to the touch. It is usually extremely painful; particularly when the joint is being moved and is most often characterized by swelling that is caused by fluid collection in a synovial sac. Synovitis is a real risk in several forms of arthritis including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, gout and similar joint conditions. Synovitis is one way of distinguishing RA from other forms of arthritis, although it can be found in Osteoarthritis, but only moderately. Long-term Synovitis can result in degeneration of the joint, which can further increase symptoms of pain in sufferers.

What are the symptoms of Synovitis?
Since Synovitis is most often found in Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis patients, the symptoms often correspond with those ailments. Usually, the joint feels puffy and appears swollen and the range of motion can be limited due to inflammation and pain. The joint may also feel warm. If the process continues for years, the cartilage and bone of the joint can greatly degraded, leading to chronic pain.

What Causes Synovitis?
As stated prior, Synovitis is often associated with rheumatoid arthritis but can also be linked to juvenile arthritis, lupus, and psoriatic arthritis. People who have gout can also have Synovitis as well s those who are afflicted with diseases like rheumatic fever or tuberculosis. In cases of RA, the synovial membrane that lines the joint becomes inflamed. Soon, the cells in the membrane divide and grow and inflammatory cells come into the joint from other parts of the body. An injury to the joint can act as a catalyst as well. The aging process or just regular wear and tear on the joints can be a factor in getting Synovitis too.

In some cases, Synovitis is temporary, but this largely will depend on the reason for the condition. If the Synovitis occurred after an injury, then it will go away once the injury heals. If however, an underlying rheumatic disease is the main contributing factor, then it will be harder to eradicate. In some cases, it will only get worse, not better. Even if a doctor aids you in managing the condition, if a disease that is chronic in nature causes synovitis, it will return.
