Inflammatory arthritis is often a degenerative disease that accompanies aging. Cartilage becomes damaged over time, leading to bones rubbing up against one another. In turn, this friction causes painful swelling and debilitation.
Arthritis typically affects the knees, hips, and spine but is commonly found in other joints and cartilage throughout the body. It may also be an autoimmune disease that causes the body to attack itself.

However, it must also be accompanied by one of the following issues:
Because repeated manifestations of inflammatory arthritis are difficult to quantify medically, it must also be accompanied by limitations or an inability to complete tasks within a reasonable time, maintain social functions, or carry out daily living activities.
