Arthritis literally means joint inflammation. It is not a single disease but rather the predominant feature of more than 100 diseases. Some of the well known types of arthritis are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and gout. As in other types of inflammations, the main symptoms of arthritis are swelling and pain. Since joints, or the areas where two bones are held to each other, are so crucial to movement, arthritis causes stiffness and at times restricts movement.

The symptom of pain, swelling, or stiffness with limitation of joint movement is called arthritis. In certain serious types of arthritis (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) the stiffness and limitation of joint movement is especially worse for prolonged periods in the mornings. Occasionally, the symptoms may be acute with red, hot swollen joints. In chronic cases the joints may become deformed.

This disease may also be called as suppurative, purulent, or infectious arthritis. Septic arthritis is a rare disease of the joints.
