Why is Arthritis?

Arthritis simply means inflammation in the joints. Joint inflammation causes pain, swelling, warmth and stiffness over time. These symptoms may be common with all form of arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, resulting in loss of elasticity of the joint cartilage which functions as shock-absorbers between two joints. Over time, as the cartilage wears off, bone friction increases causing pain. Though OA may affect any joint, the knees, hips and spine are commonly affected due to repeated wear and tear as they are the weight bearing joints of the body.

Rheumatoid arthritis is also a chronic form of arthritis, the cause of which is unknown. It usually manifests bilaterally, affecting joints on both sides of the body. Rarely, RA may affect the skin, eyes, lungs, heart, blood, nerves or kidneys. The disease onset, progression and duration vary significantly among those affected.

Viral affection and numerous environmental, hormonal, emotional and genetic factors are considered as triggers of the immune system. There are millions people who have RA with a higher incidence among women.
