Arthritis Defined

Arthritis is joint inflammation, characterized by pain, swelling, stiffness and redness. It has several causes. The most universal form is osteoarthritis, which wears down the cartilage in frequently-used joints; it is one of the most common disorders affecting millions of Americans. Another form is rheumatoid arthritis, which attacks the joints' lining causing chronic inflammation; it is believed to be an autoimmune disease. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the U.S., and cases are expected to rise 50% in the next 25 years.
