Arthritis: Arthritis is inflammation of the joints in various parts of the body. Hands, shoulders and knees can be some affected. This inflammation can be caused by immune reaction against the cartilage covering the ends of bones (Rhuematoid), or it can be caused by degenerative changes due to age. (Osteoarthritis).
