The cause of osteoarthritis can be heredity, previous injury or injury, overwork and age. When you are fat or heavy, the bones in the back and knees will stick together due to the weight of the body.

Rheumatoid Arthritis:

Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease of the immune system so the lining of the joints becomes swollen.
