What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease, that involves inflammation of one or more joints. There are over 100 different types of arthritis. The most common form, osteoarthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage. The breakdown of cartilage can take place as as a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. This causes causes the bones to rub against each other, causing stiffness, swelling (inflammation), pain and loss of movement in the joint. Other forms of arthritis include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and related autoimmune diseases. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. The main complaint among individuals who suffer from arthritis is joint pain. The pain is usually localized to the joint affected and is due to inflammation that occurs around the joint, damage to the joint from disease, daily wear and tear of joint, muscle strains caused by forceful movements against stiff, painful joints and fatigue.
