The word 'arthritis' means 'inflammation of joints.' It comes from two Greek words, athron meaning joints and itis meaning inflammation. It is a chronic disease process. In the early stages, the whole body is usually involved and one or two joints may become completely deformed, leaving the patient handicapped and somewhat weakened.
There are two categories of joints, namely, synarthro-sis or those which do not move very much and do not have a cavity, and diarthrosis or those which move freely and have a joint cavity. The first type of joints are found in the head and spinal column. The second type, which is most frequently affected by arthritis, is more common and is found in the shoulders,, elbows, wrists, fingers, knees, ankles and toes.Arthritis assumes various forms, the most frequent being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthiritis. Inflamma¬tion is the main feature of arthritis, which is a reaction of the joint tissues to some form of damage or injury.
Osteroarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which usually occurs in the older age-group. It is more frequent in women than in men. The disease results from struc¬tural changes in the articular cartilage in the joints, usual¬ly those which are weight-bearing such as the spine and knees.
Symptoms: The chief symptoms of osteoarthritis are pain and stiffness in the joints. The pain usually increases after exercise. Other symptoms include watery eyes, leg cramps, allergies, arteriosclerosis, impairment in the functioning of the gall-bladder and liver disturbances.

The onset can be at any time from childhood to old age but usually appears between the ages 25 and 50. It is three times more common in women than in men. The disease is due to an inflammatory process of the synovium or lining of the joints accompanied by swelling and eventual deformity.
