There are more than 100 different kinds of arthritis. First, lets take a look at 5 of the most common types.

Osteoarthritis is a form also known as Degenerative Joint Disease which affects 16 million Americans usually age 45 or older. More than half are 65 years and older. The cartilage in a joint, which serves as a cushion, breaks down. Usually the knees, feet, hips and/or fingers are affected.

Rheumatoid is the most debilitating form of arthritis is caused by the lining or synovial membrane of the joints being attacked by the immune system. When joint damage occurs it is extremely painful and deforming. Over 2 million Americans are affected by this disease while 3x more women than men. Usually the whole body is affected which leads to weight loss, possible anemia, fatigue, and complications with the heart, lungs and eyes.

Gout is a metabolic disorder where uric acid builds the blood and crystals form in the joints. Sudden attacks, usually in the big toe, can be severe. This form of arthritis affects about 1 million Americans, mostly men, usually starting between 40-50 years of age.

Ankylosing Spondylitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the spine. Usually it affects the joints at the base of the spine where it joins with the pelvis. This form of arthritis affects about 318,000 Americans men between 16 and 40 years of age. Women are not affected as much as men.

Juvenile Arthritis affects about 200,000 Americans each year. The most common type is juvenile rheumatoid with symptoms being different in each person.

Lupus involves the skin, joints, muscles and sometimes the organs can be affected. This usually affects women and can be mild, very painful or even life threatening.

Well, now that we know about some different types of arthritis lets look at some Home Remedies that are sure to help ease the pain and stiffness of this terrible disease:

  • Drinking a cup of Pineapple juice everyday can reduce swelling and inflammation of the joints. The ingredient bromelain in the juice has anti-inflammatory agents.
