 Arthritis is a chronic disease process which
means 'inflammation of the joints'. Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
can be considered the most often. Osteoarthritis usually suffered by the
older age-group. It is a degenerative joint disease. Rheumatoid arthritis is
more serious compared to Osteoarthritis. It affects not only the joints of
body parts, but also the muscles, tendons and other tissues of the body.
Pain and stiffness in the joints are the main
symptoms of arthritis. The pain is tenser especially after exercise.
Rheumatoid arthritis usually develops gradually over several months until
the whole body is affected. Other symptoms include anemia, colitis,
constipation, deformed hands and feet.
A structural change in the articular
cartilage in the joints is the main cause for Osteoarthritis. The examples
of joint affected are the spine and knees, which are often bearing a lot of
weight. Rheumatoid arthritis on the other hand, is resulted by the
inflammation of the lining of the joints which will cause swelling and
deformity. Hormonal imbalance, physical and emotional stress, infection,
severe fright, shock, and injury are the main reasons for Rheumatoid
arthritis. Besides the above causes, hereditary factors might also be the
reason for this disease.
