Maybe pain occurs, like when trying to open a jar. Whats it all about? Lets look at the basics and learn more.
Arthritis actually means joint inflammation and has over 100 related conditions or type / forms of disease. Left untreated, it can advance, resulting in joint damage that cannot be undone or reversed. So early detection and treatment are important.
The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although both have similar symptoms, both happen for different reasons. When joints are overused and misused, the results can be OA. What happens is that the cushioning cartilage that protects the joint breaks down, resulting in the bones rubbing together. This generally happens in the knees, but can be found in the hips, spine and hands often, too. And only in later stages will a person most often feel pain, after quite a bit of cartilage is lost.
The second type, RA, refers to the bodys immune system attacking joint tissue. Still not fully understood in the medical community, this condition most often starts in a persons hands, wrists and feet. Then it advances to shoulders, elbows and hips.
