Arthritis is a condition that occurs when the cushions between the joints wear away. There are two types of arthritis: rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, a type of rheumatic disease, that affects the joints, while osteoarthritis happens when the cartilage that cushions the joints wears down over time.
While arthritis can affect anyone, senior citizens are the most vulnerable. Physical mobility is often affected by the illness, so a simple task such as walking, climbing stairs, or holding an object becomes almost impossible.
