Arthritis literally means joint inflammation. But the term is often used to refer to any of the more than 100 diseases that affect the joints – where two or more bones meet to allow movement. Currently, there are 46 million people diagnosed with arthritis in the United States. The most common types of arthritis are:
Osteoarthritis – a condition in which the joint cartilage – the tough, smooth shock-absorbing tissue that covers the ends of the bones where they meet – breaks down, causing pain and stiffness
Rheumatoid arthritis – a condition in which the body’s immune system attacks the thin membrane (synovium) that lines the joints, causing pain, swelling, inflammation, redness, heat and, if not stopped, joint destruction.
