Arthritis is the inflammation of the joints,
with pain, swelling, and restricted motion.
Many conditions may cause arthritis,
including gout, infection, and trauma to the
joint. Osteoarthritis, is a degenerative
condition and tends to affect larger,
load-bearing joints, such as the knee and
hip. It appears in later life, especially in
those whose joints may have been subject to
earlier stress or damage.
