What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis comes in many forms, but most of us think of it as a deterioration of the joints. Some of the most common forms of arthritis are degenerative joint disease (also known as DJD or osteoarthritis) and rheumatoid arthritis. Most people think of arthritis as a normal condition everyone gets as they get older, but this is not true. Arthritis can be found in all age groups. The Arthritis Foundation estimates that about 46 million Americans have been diagnosed with arthritis, including a staggering 300,000 kids under the age of 18. With such numbers, it is no wonder that it is the number one cause of disability in America.
