Poor sanitation conditions may NOT be the likely reason behind Arthritis.

  • Arthritis is a condition in which one or more joints enlarge and become tender. Joint pain and stiffness are the most common symptoms of arthritis, which normally worsen with age.
  • The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — to break down.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints.
