Differentiating Rheumatoid Arthritis From Other Types Of Arthritis Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis differ considerably from those of other types of arthritis, such as gout and osteoarthritis. For example, gout tends to cause intermittent joint inflammation in a single join, with a sudden onset, and episodes last only a few days. Osteoarthritis, on the other hand, tends to cause chronic (long-term) use-related pain. In addition, osteoarthritis is associated with minimal or no inflammation and involves fewer joints than does rheumatoid arthritis. Morning stiffness, a typical feature of rheumatoid arthritis, is uncommon in osteoarthritis.
