flare-up of (symptoms associated with) degenerative joint disease

My understanding is that there is a distinction to be drawn between 'arthrose' and 'arthrite', the former highlighting a gradual wearing down of the joint surfaces, the latter (possibly a contributor to 'arthrose'), causing inflammation within the joint. I stand to be corrected on this perception and would welcome comments from experienced clinicians.

re 'arthrite', this is, of course, the inflammatory condition itself, rather than the cause of it. Apologies for the misleading comment about 'causing inflammation'.
Peer comment(s):

agree Janet Ratziu : Definitely. Also called simply "flare" now. "Arthrose" refers to osteoarthritis (or DJD) as opposed to rheumatoid or other forms of arthritis. http://www.webmd.com/osteoarthritis/news/20011127/new-drug-f...

Thank you, Diane
agree SJLD : see previous Proz entries for arthrose/arthrite - very hot topic! Best avoided ;-) As Janet says - what the French call "arthrose", we call "osteoarthritis"

Osteoarthritis attack

Osteoarthritis / Osteoarthrosis (OA, also known as degenerative arthritis, degenerative joint disease, arthrosis or in more colloquial terms "wear and tear"), is a condition in which low-grade inflammation results in pain in the joints, caused by wearing of the cartilage that covers and acts as a cushion inside joints. As the bone surfaces become less well protected by cartilage, the patient experiences pain upon weight bearing, including walking and standing. Due to decreased movement because of the pain, regional muscles may atrophy, and ligaments may become more lax. OA is the most common form of arthritis. The word is derived from the Greek word "osteo", meaning "of the bone", "arthro", meaning "joint", and "itis", meaning inflammation, although many sufferers have little or no inflammation.
Example sentence:

Attack of Arthritis, seems to often result from a malfunction of the autoimmune system, and causes inflammation of the joints and the surrounding tissues. This inflammation leads to joint swelling, redness and ultimately pain in the affected area.
