WHAT IS ARTHRITIS?

As explained by the Mayo Clinic, arthritis is the inflammation of one or more of your joints. Usually, arthritis results in joint pain–which may be severe and immobilizing–and stiffness, both of which can worsen as a person ages.

There are two primary types of arthritis: rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The first is an autoimmune disorder and osteoarthritis is a condition where the cartilage breaks down.
