Reactive arthritis can come on suddenly—often after an infection—and leave you wondering why your joints (or tendons/back) are inflamed seemingly out of nowhere.

In this video, Dr. Isabelle Amigues explains what reactive arthritis is, what commonly triggers it, how it’s diagnosed, and what treatment and recovery can look like.

We cover:
--Common symptoms and patterns (joints, tendons, back pain—and sometimes eyes/skin)
--Typical triggers (often after GI or GU infections)
--How doctors evaluate it and what tests may be helpful
--Treatment options and when to escalate care
--Red flags to take seriously (especially eye symptoms)
