Arthritis is a blanket term for more than 100 medical conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system, or more specifically the joints where two or more bones meet. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes severe inflammatory and chronic pain in its sufferers.

Knee pain is a common occurrence for those of us who are active. Injury or stress on the knee from high impact sports like basketball, hockey and even running on certain surfaces causes the cartilage in our knees to wear away.
