What is true for one type of arthritis is not necessarily true for another type. For example, broken bones have been linked to rheumatoid arthritis for years but not to osteoarthritis. However, new research may change this.

Most of the current drugs for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are taken by individuals in pill form.

Now, researchers have made a new RA gel that may fix these problems.

Knee arthritis can be so painful that standing seems impossible. Even those with mild arthritis say they feel extreme pain, especially if they have depression.
