Arthritis is the principal cause of physical pain and disability in the UK, affecting around 10 million people.
It is an inflammatory disease, affecting joints, and causing people to suffer pain and difficulty moving around. The two of the most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Arthritis comes from the words “arther”- joint and “itis”- inflammation. Arthritis is a collection of symptoms affecting joints which causes joint pain, swelling and stiffness.
