Prognosis For Different Types Of Inflammation
If the inflammation is caused by an infection, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs should remove the infection and full recovery is usually expected with a positive prognosis.

PSA, or psoriatic arthritis and RA, or rheumatoid arthritis however while treatable, may cause disfigurement or long term joint problems even after the inflammation is dealt with, if it is left untreated for too long.

To prevent long term damage and a negative prognosis it is important to see a doctor and get the inflammation under control as soon as possible so that there is no or little long term joint damage.
