Arthritis means joint inflammation. It has various forms and may
also have different symptoms. Osteoarthritis is mainly caused due
to inflammation when the soft covering on the bones are damaged.
They mostly occur on bones that bear the body weight. In other
types of arthritis, like the rheumatoid arthritis, the narrow
lining in the joint is affected. The joint-lining may become
inflated and gradually the disease conquers the entire body and the
patient fails to move. Arthritis may cause a total disability in
many people. Arthritis mainly occurs in adults, but in some special
cases even children may become a victim of this disease. Over a
long period of time, the inflation may cause irreparable damage to
the body, which can limit the daily chores of a person. Though the
exact cause of arthritis is still not known, but it is a form of
autoimmune disorder. The usual and normal defence system of the
body gradually starts attacking the joints. At times, arthritis is
hereditary. The ailment may also cause nodules that form in the
knuckles, elbows, lower leg joint and elbows. It may also affect
the lungs, eyes, nerves, or even the blood vessels.
