What is the medical term meaning inflammation of many joints?

Answer:

If you find that you have inflammation in many joints you are likely to be suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. To avoid serious disability see a doctor.


If there is inflammation of 2-4 joints it is oligoarthritis, if it is 5 or more then it is polyarthritis.

Inflammation of more than one joint, especially if it is in similar joints on opposite sides of the body, can be an indicator of rheumatoid arthritis. However there are over a hundred different forms of arthritis and the best way to find out which is causing the problem is to be examined by a rheumatologist.
The simple answer is polli artritis . Arthritis of many joints is usually caused by an autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
