The main purpose of this book is to help you beat arthritis and its symptoms. Arthritis is a disease which is characterized by mild to severe pain, stiffness, tenderness, soreness, redness, and muscle weakness around joints. Joint pain is also known as arthralgia. A single joint disorder is called monoarthritis. When 2-3 joints are affected, it is called oligoarthritis. When it involves four or more than joints, it becomes polyarthritis. Arthritis is the leading reason of disability for many people around the world. It affects young and old, male and female, and the aging or elderly. There are about a hundred types of arthritis. They all affect the ability of the person to move and use other functions of joints. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis (affects the hands, hips, knees, and spine), rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune disease that affects joints linings), gout (condition caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in joints), fibromyalgia (pain in musculoskeletal system), lupus (chronic inflammatory condition where immune system attacks its own tissues) and spondylitis (condition that occurs in the spine and affects other joints). There is no exact cure for arthritis. However, there are treatments and anti-inflammatory diet plans that can slow down its debilitating effects. This book will give you essential tips on how to combat the agonizing pains of arthritis.
