Arthritis is chronic inflammation and stiffness of the joints. There are more than 100 different types of arthritis.

Bursitis is swelling of a bursa – a small fluid-filled sac. A bursa acts like a cushion between a bone and other moving parts. Bursitis is generally caused by overuse.

Gout is a common form of arthritis that can cause attacks of painful, stiff joints. It often starts in a single joint, such as the big toe.

Osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage – the cushion between the joints – breaks down, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling.

Osteoporosis is a disease that makes bones thinner, weaker, and easier to break. It can be detected with a bone density test.

Rheumatoid [ROO-muh-toid] arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease that causes inflammation of the joints and other parts of the body. Rheumatoid arthritis can affect people of all ages.
