Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage covering the end of the bones to gradually wear away, resulting in painful bone of bone rubbing. Osteoarthritis is often more painful in the weight bearing joints, such as the hip and knee. Osteoarthritis tends to develop as people grow older.

Inflammatory Arthritis- Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis is one of the most serious and disabling types of arthritis. Rheumatoid Arthritis is a long-lasting autoimmune disease that causes the joint lining (synovium) to become inflamed and painful, leading to symptoms of pain, swelling, and stiffness even at rest. Rheumatoid Arthritis most frequently develops in the hand and foot joints. It can develop in the larger joints, such as the hip, knees, and elbows, and many joints may be involved at the same time, as well as tissues surrounding an affected joint. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect people of all ages, but most commonly occurs in women and those over age 30.
