Arthritis - Have Homeopathy At Your Rescue!

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis causes the cushions on the ends of bones called cartilage to wear away. That makes the bones rub against each other. You might feel pain in your fingers, knees, or hips This wear and tear can occur over many years, or it can be hastened by a joint injury or infection. In rheumatoid arthritis, the body's immune system attacks the lining of the joint capsule, a tough membrane that encloses all the joint parts. This lining, known as the synovial membrane, becomes inflamed and swollen. Rheumatoid arthritis can lead to pain, stiffness, fatigue, weight loss, eye symptoms. Other causes of arthritis are infection, raised uric acid, psoriasis to name a few.
