There are three common types of arthritis. It includes osteoarthritis (the most common), affecting nearly 16 million Americans over the age of 45. Osteoarthritis, also known as a degenerative joint disease (DJD), usually affects weight-bearing joints such as the knees, buttocks, and ankles. It is also often found on the fingers, neck, and back. Each of our members is covered with cartilage. Osteoarthritis attacks the cartilage and gradually destroys it.
Another type of arthritis is known as rheumatoid arthritis. It is excruciating and inflamed, striking the joint membranes and leading to massive joint destruction. It affects millions of Americans, many of them young.
Psoriatic arthritis is not known as the previous two, but it actually affects the joints and can be seen as psoriasis lesions on the skin.
The word arthritis literally means “joint inflammation.” If you suffer from any of the various forms of arthritis listed above, you are more likely to take drugs (either prescription or over-the-counter) to combat the pain or try other “home” remedies or remedies.
If you haven't tried "urtication," it might be helpful. The word "urtication" comes from the plant name Urtica dioica and dates from about 2,000 years to biblical times. Urtica dioica is also known as stinging nettle. The treatment is to hold the anus in hand with a glove and swing the painful joints with the anus. This practice has proved so effective for some people living with arthritis to keep an acacia plant in their windows.
