Arthritis: The Pallbearer of old age<\/h2>\n

Arthritis is not a single disease but a result of several conditions. It causes swelling and tenderness of one or more joints in the human body.<\/p>\n

It is the most common indicator of our body’s reduced ability to function with an increase in age. Typical symptoms are sharp joint pain and stiffness, leading to an eventually less range of motion.<\/p>\n

It is a condition that makes doing simple daily tasks difficult. In severe cases, walking and sitting straight also seem troublesome to the patient.<\/p>\n

Common types of Arthritis<\/h3>\n

Two types of arthritis<\/a> occur in most patients.<\/p>\n

They are:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Osteoarthritis is when the protective cartilage between bones thins down by wear and tear.<\/li>\n
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: is an autoimmune disease that affects the lining around joints. This causes painful swelling, which can lead to joint deformation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    In today’s generation, the early onset of Osteoarthritis<\/a> is pretty common. Due to a sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise, the body’s load-bearing joints lose their strength.<\/p>\n

    One out of five Canadians lives with arthritis. It affects people of all ages, not only the elderly but also young adults and kids. Each stage of life has separate challenges for procuring arthritis care.<\/p>\n
