Artritis
I’ve recently discovered an E-book on the subject of rheumatoid arthritis relief called “Conquer Arthritis Now” by medical researcher Chris Callahan. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it’s the ultimate guide to understanding rheumatoid arthritis and putting an end to the pain it causes. This well-written document cites proven evidence from research studies and clinical trials to empower arthritis sufferers to take charge of their healing and conquer their pain for good. To Be Sure: Arthritis cannot be cured, but the symptoms of arthritis can. That’s why Conquer Arthritis Now focuses on easy, affordable ‘lifestyle management’ techniques that anyone can use to end pain and prevent it from coming back.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is pretty common, but so is Osteoarthritis.
Rhematoid Arthritis, or RA, is an inflammatory disease whose cause is unknown. It attacks the joints, mainly hand and foot joints. It’s very painful, but there are many treatments available for it. If left untreated, it can lead to severe joint damage and deformity.
Osteoarthritis, or OA, is a condition that, when viewed upon Xray, you can see joint space narrowing. Which means the cushion that protects your joints is wearing away. It occurs in hips, knees, hand joints, even in the vertebrae. It is also very painful, and like RA, treatments are available.
Osteoporosis is NOT a type of arthritis. OP is when the bones of the spine and/or hip become spongy and porous. They begin to weaken and soften, hence the “hunchback” you might see in some people. Mostly women get it, but some men do too. OP isn’t necessarily painful, but it causes loss of height and fragility fractures. There are many treatments for this too.
OA can occur in elderly AND no so elderly.
RA can occur in elderly as well as children and young adults.
OP usually occurs in postmenopausal women, but a small percentage of older men can have it.
