Degenerative arthritis occurs when the cartilage that exists between the bones begins to wear away, causing the bones to rub against each other. This one of the most common forms and can cause pain, stiffness or even swelling. However; inflammatory arthritis also known as Rheumatoid and often arises when a weakened immune system attacks the joints, causing them to wear away.
