What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is an acute or chronic inflammation of one or more joints accompanied by pain and stiffness which typically worsen with age. If you feel pain and stiffness in your body, or have trouble moving around, you might be suffering from Arthritis.
Symptoms
The most common signs and symptoms of Arthritis involve the joints. Depending on the type of Arthritis you have, your signs and symptoms may include:
Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis is usually caused by normal wear and tear damage to your joint’s cartilage, the hard, slick coating on the ends of bones. Severe damage can result in bone grinding directly on bone, which causes pain and restricted movement. This wear and tear can occur over many years, or it can be hastened by a joint injury or infection. But with the right support, you can lead an active and healthy life.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid Arthritis is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the lining of the joint capsule, a tough membrane that encloses all the joint parts. This lining, known as the synovial membrane, becomes inflamed and swollen. The disease process can eventually lead to joint destruction particularly in hands and feet.
