A joint is an area of the body where two different bones meet. A joint functions to move the body parts connected by its bones.<\/p><p>Arthritis is classified as rheumatic diseases. Rheumatic diseases are painful conditions usually caused by inflammation, swelling and pain in the joints or muscles.<\/p><p>Generally, the pain associated with arthritis develops gradually, although sudden onset is also possible. Arthritic joints are swollen or inflamed usually because the smooth cartilage around them has been damaged in some way. This makes it difficult to bend or straighten the knee. Inflammation of the joints from arthritis is characterized by joint stiffness, swelling, redness, and warmth.<\/p><p>There are over 100 types of arthritis identified, but some forms are more common than others. The types range from those related to wear and tear of cartilage, to those associated with inflammation resulting from an overactive immune system. Together, the many types of arthritis make up the most common chronic illness in the United States.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce5462f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"ce5462f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=59NXlA69TdA&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c221d21 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c221d21\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Types of Arthritis\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73e492f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"73e492f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Although there are over 100 different types of arthritis diseases, there are three basic types.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62f746e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"62f746e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Osteoarthritis (OA)\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-153d8f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"153d8f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Osteoarthritis is the most common form of knee arthritis.
