I read that there are more than 100 different types of arthritis. I don't know all the details, but it is always best to consult a rheumatologist if you are experiencing joint pain rather than trying to guess the type yourself.

There are over 100 types of arthritis, though osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the ones we hear about most. Regular light exercise and joint-friendly stretches can help manage the daily stiffness quite well.

There are more than 100 forms of arthritis. In my experience, gentle joint movements (Sukshma Vyayama) and daily yoga help maintain flexibility, but do consult your doctor to ensure these movements are safe for your specific type.
