"Arthritis" is not a single disease, but is rather a term used to describe a group of more than 100 rheumatic diseases. These conditions can attack joints in almost any part of the body and may cause symptoms such as lasting joint pain, problems using or moving a joint normally, and joint swelling or stiffness. There are many different types of arthritis, including inflammatory, non-inflammatory, infectious, and hemorrhagic. While there is currently no cure, numerous treatment options are available.
