Arthritis

Natural Help for Arthritis
Arthritis literally means joint inflammation. Arthritis is not a single disease. Arthritis refers to a group of more than 100 rheumatic diseases and other conditions that can cause pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints. Any part of your body can become inflamed or painful from arthritis.

The two most common types of arthritis are Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis, the more common form, is not characterized by inflammation around the joints as Rheumatoid arthritis is, but rather is due to wear and tear on the joints due to degeneration or injury.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium (cell lining inside the joint). Doctors suspect that the cause includes genetic factors. Rheumatoid arthritis can be difficult to diagnose early because it can begin gradually with subtle symptoms.

Rheumatoid arthritis affects people differently. No two rheumatoid arthritis cases are exactly the same.

Some symptoms include:
Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease, results from wear and tear. The pressure of gravity causes physical damage to the joints and surrounding tissues. Initially, osteoarthritis is non-inflammatory and its onset is subtle and gradual, usually involving one or only a few joints. The joints most often affected are the knees, hips, spine, and hands. Risks of osteoarthritis increase with age. Other risk factors include joint trauma, obesity, and repetitive joint use.
