Pain is the body’s way of telling you something in wrong. While everyone responds differently to pain, no one should ignore it.
Arthritis literally means joint inflammation. It can cause swelling, redness, heat, and pain in any
number of joints. Arthritis is caused by the breakdown of the joint’s cartilage.
