Swollen jointshappen when there's an increase of fluid in the tissues that surround the joints. Joint swelling is common with different types of arthritis, infections, and injuries. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an inflammatory arthritis that can happen at any age -- even in young children. RA causes painful, stiff, and swollen joints. Usually, RA affects hands, feet, and knees, but it can also affect other parts of the body. RA symptoms can interfere with daily activities.

In traditional Chinese medicine, arthritis is called "Bi Syndrome" which is translated as "painful obstructive syndrome". The theory of Bi Syndrome is that it initially occurs at a time when our defenses are low and we are exposed to "the three evil pathogenic factors" of wind, dampness, and cold. These factors are said to enter our bodies and obstruct the normal flow of Qi and blood, thus causing inflammation and pain.
