and rheumatoid arthritis

A chronic and common form of arthritis, affecting mostly the spine, hips, knees and hands. It first appears from the age of about 30 and is more common and severe with increasing age.

osteoarthritis (pop)

A permanent form of arthritis with progressive loss of the articular cartilage in a joint. See degenerative joint disease.

Degenerative disease characterized by inflammation of the joints between bones
