Arthritis and Rheumatic Conditions

There are two basic types of arthritis: osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that causes stiffness and pain in the joints, and is usually the result of ageing, except that in underdeveloped countries, where people work hard throughout life osteoarthritis is a much less common problem.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory condition which causes joints to swell and become painful.

The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is not known, although one reason for the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis may be a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet.
