Description:

This refers to inflammation of the joints surrounding tendons, ligaments and cartilage. It can affect virtually every part of the body. Effects range from slight pain, stiffness and swelling of the joints to crippling disability. Arthritis can strike people at any age.

Symptoms:

Osteoarthritis (Degenerative joint disease), a degenerative disease in which small bony growths appear on the large weight bearing joints. It causes early morning stiffness or stiffness following periods of rest, pain that worsens on joint use, loss of joint function, local tenderness, soft tissue swelling, creaking and cracking of joints on movement, bony swelling and restricted mobility. Osteoarthritis usually sets in with old age.

RHEUMATOID ARTHARITIS
Rheumatoid Arthritis is a rare condition, which is more serious and very painful. It incapacitates the synovial tissue in which, most commonly, the small joints of the hand become tender, swollen, even deformed. Women are more affected than men. It is often associated with fatigue, low-grade fever, weakness, joint stiffness and joint pain. Painful swollen joints appear within several weeks of the first attack.
