For people living with arthritis, learning to make it part of your life can be difficult. But learning as much as you can about your particular type of arthritis and actively working with your team of health professionals is an effective way of taking control.

Types of Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy joints causing inflammation (redness, pain, swelling, heat) and possible join damage.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic, degenerative form of arthritis where cartilage between the bones in a joint breaks down. Bits of cartilage may float around inside the joint and disturb other soft tissues resulting in pain and swelling as well as reduced mobility.  Over time as the cartilage wears down, the bones may rub against one another. It is the most common form of arthritis.
