Arthritis is a very common disease that causes inflammation and joint pain. Many mistakenly consider it a “disease of the elderly” – in fact, it can affect people of any age, including young children.

There are many different types of arthritis, but the most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis refers to the gradual physical wear and tear of cartilaginous tissue between the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing them to become inflamed.

A specific symptom of this disease is joint pain and swelling. But the disease can also manifest itself in rather unusual signs.

“Symptoms of arthritis usually include joint pain, but there are also a number of symptoms that are often not associated with it and remain unnoticed.”
