Does lactic acid cause arthritis?
Your creative mind is your ticket to greatnesss.
I have looked at numerous web sites, and have not found any reference to a connection between lactic acid causing arthritis. Please keep in mind that I do not have a medical background, so if you want a professional answer, I would ask your doctor.

Lactic acid does not cause arthritis. Abnormal levels of lactic acid can be a sign of liver disease, diabetes, shock, tissue ischemia (tissue death) or carbon monoxide poisoning. Hope this helps!

Lactic Acid does not cause arthritis per se, as a direct connection.
Lactic Acid can build up, for example, when you have exercised past your body's tolerance. The way to check is to try to speak while you are exercising; if you cannot carry on a simple conversation, you should take a break.
If you are referring to the general influence of acid on arthritic joints, there is a connection between nutrition and the worsening of arthritic pain. The Nightshade group of plants (tomatoes, eggplant, green pepper, white potatoes, caffein) should be avoided; drink water on a regular basis, and keep the area of arthritis warm and moving.
