What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis means joint inflammation, but it can be used to refer to a spectrum of more than 100 rheumatic diseases that can cause stiffness, pain, and also swelling in the joints. These diseases cannot only affect the joints, but also supporting structures such as bones, tendons, ligaments, muscles and some internal organs. Terry's arthritic pain can be classified under chronic pain because it ranges from mild to severe and can last weeks, months and years to come. The other classification of arthritis pain is under acute pain because it is temporary and lasts a few seconds or longer but slowly dissipates as healing occurs.
