If you are suffering from pain or immobility in your joints, you may have some form of arthritis. Arthritis affects millions of Americans and people across the globe. Its most common forms are rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, though there are more than 100 types of the disease.

Arthritis typically affects people who are aging or who are overweight, but it can affect anyone at any time depending on the form of the disease and the conditions leading to it. It’s important to be aware of the symptoms of arthritis to know when you should contact a medical professional for help. Symptoms of arthritis can include:
