Arthritis

 Arthritis is any disorder to the joints, commonly resulting in inflammation. The most common type of arthritis is reumadial arthritis, which is caused by the body mistakingly attacking itself. White blood cells release chemicals, which attack the cartilage in between bones. This results in more harmful chemicals being released, which results in a large damaged area in the cartilage that continues to grow. Surgery is oftentimes the only way to fix this, but there are medications that can be taken to alleviate the symptoms.
