Arthritis

Arthritis is a disabling disease that affects many people in the United Kingdom. Arthritis is an inflammation of the cartilage and lining of the body’s joints. Symptoms include swelling in one or more joints, recurring pain or tenderness in any joint, redness or heat in a joint, limitation in motion, early morning stiffness and skin changes including rashes or growths.  Feet can be more susceptible to arthritis than other parts of the body because each foot contains 33 joints and bears the weight and pressure of the body.
