    Arthritis

    Arthritis is a term used to describe a group of over 100 diseases characterized by acute or chronic inflammation of the joints, often accompanied by pain and structural damage. Osteoarthritis happens when the cartilage that lines your joints wears down and your bones rub against each other. Inflammatory arthritis differs from Osteoarthritis in that joint damage results from inflammation rather than the wearing away of cartilage.
