The usual type of arthritis is osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease. It’s also known as wear-and-tear arthritis since the cartilage simply wears out.

When the cartilage wears away, bone rubs on bone, causing severe pain and disability. The most common reason for osteoarthritis is in our genes since the durability of each person’s cartilage is based on genetics.

Trauma can also lead to osteoarthritis. A bad fall or blow to the knee can injure the joint. If the injury does not heal properly, extra force may be placed on the joint, which, over time, can cause the cartilage to wear away.

Inflammatory arthritis is swelling and inflammation of the joint lining, causing a release of enzymes that soften and eventually destroy the cartilage. Rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus and psoriatic arthritis are inflammatory conditions.

The rotator cuff is a band of muscles surrounding the joint that connects the upper arm to the shoulder blade. The rotator cuff is stiff enough to hold the joint together but is also flexible enough to allow the arm to reach and lift.

Rotator cuff injuries are common among baseball pitchers, tennis players and other athletes who frequently exert an overhand throwing or swinging motion. Non-athletes who frequently lift or reach, such as stacking cans on a high shelf, can also develop rotator cuff problems.

Most shoulder problems are the result of overuse or traumatic injury. Athletes who play high-contact sports like hockey or football often have shoulder injuries. Frequent lifting and repetitive arm rotation can also cause wear and tear on the shoulder. Inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and bursitis may develop over time.
