Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, inflammation, stiffness, and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age, the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear-out as a person ages. Other reasons include a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries.

Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an auto-immune disease (body's immune system attacks its tissue) which leads to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include stiffness, pain, swelling, deformities and loss of joint function.

Ankylosing spondylitis: It causes pain and stiffness in the spine, which starts in the lower back and can spread to the neck, damaged joints or other parts of the body. Symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis include decreased flexibility which usually leads to hunched-forward posture, pain and back and joints.
