arthritis - Interesting Joint

I choose to research about arthritis because my grandma has arthritis and I never knew what I means. When a person has arthritis, they have swelling and inflammation in their joints. Arthritis is genetic whereas my mom or I may have it later on but it can also be caused by repetition of movements, straining on joints, obesity, or reactions. There is long term or short term arthritis pain and there are 4 different types of arthritis.
1. Osteoarthritis
2.Rheumatoid arthritis
3.Infectious arthritis (septic arthritic)
4.Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) - a. Pauciarticular JRA
                                                               b. Polyarticular JRA
                                                               c.Systemic JRA
It causes discomfort. pain and stiffness and tiredness. Physical therapy can help maintain the pain and strengthen joints.
