There are different types of arthritis that affects the different joints in the body. It can be a degenerative disease of the cartilage or osteoarthritis, which is the most common. When the cartilage that covers the bones is worn away, it results to rubbing together of your bones. The hands, hips, knee and spine are the commonly affected parts. Another unbearable kind of arthritis is rheumatoid arthritis. It is an autoimmune disease which means to say that your own body's immune cells mistakenly attack your joint lining causing it to swell and lead to inflammation and cartilage and bone damage. Gout, on the other hand, is a type of arthritis which is caused by the deposition of mineral crystals in your joints.

As of today, the exact causes of joint pains, especially arthritis, is still unknown. However, there are certain risk factors that can make it easier for you to acquire these illnesses. First of which is age. As you know, as we age our body is also deteriorating thus increasing our risk to various kinds of diseases. It has been found out that females are more frequently affected than males. When you are a heavy person, this means that you also put more pressure on your joints which can lead to painful joints. Your lifestyle and the type of work you do every day can also raise your risk for joint conditions and arthritis.

Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements are claimed to make wonders for aching joints. There are different medications that are prescribed such as anti-inflammatories and pain relievers.
