Fluorosis
Excessive exposure to fluoride causes an arthritic bone disease called skeletal fluorosis. It is a difficult disease to diagnose and can be readily confused with various forms of arthritis including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Treatment of skeletal fluorosis involves removal of the source of the problem. If it is the drinking water, then that needs to be removed and the drinking water de-fluoride. The person's diet may also have to be changed but unfortunately fluorosis is an irreversible illness with permanent damage to the bones.
