Arthritis is a term used to describe around 100 similar diseases, these many different conditions are closely linked because of there detrimental effect on one’s joint and joint area. The many guises of arthritis come with there own underlying causes and contributing factors. Although arthritis is common with age, it is clear that the disease is far from being only age related, and is reported throughout all age and social groups.
Over 50% of people nearing retirement age are thought to be effected in some way by arthritis. Arthritis or musculoskeletal disease effects a very large proportion of adults, especially those living in industrialised nations. Studies indicate that almost three quarters of all people over the age of seventy will develop symptoms of arthritis at some point, although less common arthritis can be apparent in children (Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis).
Rheumatoid arthritis is the autoimmune version of arthritis and is unfortunately classed as a chronic condition. Having RA in the long term. one may experience changes in symptoms, with long and short periods of remission being common.
The term autoimmune describes a condition which causes one’s own immune system to mistakenly attack bodily tissues. In the case of RA this metabolic condition is known to attack and inflame the joint lining referred to as the synovium, Inflammation of the synovium causes extreme pain and swelling.

Rheumatoid arthritis, as with all forms of arthritis is a condition caused by the manifestation of an underlying disease, even though this may not be apparent. The problem with today’s quick fix drug therapies is that they only address the symptoms of arthritis.
