Rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a very common type of inflammatory disease. The body’s natural defences (the immune system) attacks certain parts of the body instead of protecting it. This auto-immune reaction occurs mainly in the joints, but can affect vital organs too.
Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common of all types of arthritis. It usually develops gradually, over several years, and affects a number of different joints. The cause is unknown, but it does appear more in females than males.
Gout

Gout is a very painful form of arthritis. It is a long term, chronic condition that, if not properly managed, can affect you for your whole life.
