Arthritis is an ailment that is characterized by inflammation of the joints and comes in a hundred different forms. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and occurs when cartilages in the bones wear away leaving the joints with no cushion that allow for smooth movement.  Pain occurs as a result of the friction created when the bones rub against each other. This is common in older individuals whose cartilage has deteriorated over time.
Other types of arthritis include rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that causes chronic joint inflammation and gout which is brought about by an excess of uric acid in the body. Most types of arthritis are usually manifested through the swelling, stiffness, or pain in the joints.
