What is Arthritis and How Does One Cure It?

Arthritis is inflammation of the joints. There are joints in fingers, toes, knees, elbows, shoulders, and hips. When inflamed, these joints become stiff and swollen. One is not able to move limbs as easily when the joints are inflamed. For most patients, this inflammation is very painful. Unfortunately, there is not a cure for arthritis. However, with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, the symptoms of arthritis can be reduced.
