can a person have arthritis in their head?

Question:

Answers:
Arthritis can effect all joints, including the jaw. Also it can have an effect on the neck. It depends on what kind of arthritis you are asking about - since osteoarthritis is a wear and tear type of arthritis that most people get when they are older, it usually creates pain in joints such as the knees or fingers. Rheumatoid arthritis can effect many joints, causing painful inflammation, and can also cause general pain and fatigue.

Other Answers:
Nope. Arthritis is a disease conditions of the joint since the head does not have any joints. You can't have arthritis in the head.

The answer is a bit more complicated than that. Yes, specifically, arthritis is the condition affecting bones and joints. You may have it at the junction of the spine and the skull, but that is not exactly "in your head." Arthritis is a part of a larger family of inflammatory conditions, however. The family includes inflammatior disorders of vessels (vasculitis) and both are treated by the same doctor (rheumatologist). Vasculitis often affects cerebral arteries and thus can be defined as is "someone's head." Cheers.
