Inflammatory arthritis is often a sort of umbrella term before the experts have decided which type of arthritis you have. If it becomes typical of some more precise definition, such as psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or spondylitis, the it may be (slightly) easier to target treatment. The pattern of my arthritis is more like psoriatic arthritis (over many years now) but I don't have psoriasis. So it's still called rheumatoid arthritis by the rheumatology team as that is what it was called originally.

As the treatments are very similar for all the group, it doesn't much matter! So you're welcome!
