Why do people have arthritis?

My mother has been diagnosed for arthritis. Her joints pain a lot and it swells before it starts to pain. Arthritis has increased her general tiredness. These she often complains of getting tired and it has been increasing her stress. She is taking her medicines and I hope that she will be fine.

  • Arthritis happens due to an attack by the patient’s immune system. The joints start to pain as they get swelled. And they also lose on their normal shape. This increases the pain and the symptoms become worse. It is also known that a bacterial or viral infection can also increase the risk for arthritis.
