Arthritas
Were you looking for more information about Arthritis? Arthritas is a common misspelling of arthritis.
The condition that we commonly refer to as "arthritis" includes more than 100 diseases that result in inflammation, pain, and stiffness in the joints. There are many different forms, including rheumatoid arthritis (an inflammatory type), osteoarthritis (a non-inflammatory type), and septic arthritis (an infectious type). Symptoms may vary, depending on the specific type of arthritis, but may include joint stiffness, lasting joint pain, and warmth or redness in a joint.
