Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthrit is causes cartilage(the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a Joint) to break down.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints.

Crystal arthritis – Uric acid crystals, which form when there’s too much uric acid in your blood, can cause gout.

Infective arthritis – due to underlying infection ( T.B., Bacterial infection etc.)

Treatments vary depending on the type of arthritis. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
