What is arthritis? Well, arthritis is the 4th common medical condition in Malaysia that caused inflammation of the joints, and the symptoms are usually described as pain, swelling and stiffness in the affected joints. Arthritis is considered as common as it has affected over millions of life worldwide. The symptoms are usually progressive over time, which means as we grew older, the symptoms worsen. Thus, we always hear the older people complain about their joint pains- either at their back or knees or even hands.

However, it doesn't mean that the younger age wouldn't have it, because arthritis mainly caused by the deterioration of cartilage, or the inflammation of the synovial membrane (protective layer that protects the joints), which can occurs in younger age.
