Arthritis comes in many forms. Inflammation of the joints resulting from damage to the cartilage contained within them (osteoarthritis) or inflammation caused by an immune system malfunction (rheumatoid arthritis) are two possibilities. Out of over 100 types of Arthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis are the two most common.
While Arthritis may be genetic, it can also be due to childhood injury or excessive wear and tear (such as having an intensely physical job for for many years). Sometimes, illnesses such as Lupus or Gout can cause Arthritis.
Arthritis can be treated in a variety of ways. Some more drastic treatments include surgery, anti inflammatory medications (including steroids) and immune-altering medications. There are also some less invasive options such as physical therapy and alternative treatments.
