Rheumatoid arthritis generally involves swelling and heat around the area of a joint, pain and stiffness as well. Ultimately, there can be some deformity of the joint. Anti-inflammatory drugs can help. There are also other drugs which can be prescribed to help with this disease. This disease can occur at any age and is due to problems with the auto-immune system.
Osteoarthritis is due to wear and tear of the joint and involves pain, stiffness and a grating noise in some joints such as the knees when walking up or down stairs. It can be helped by taking Chondroitin and Glucosamine, anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen and also Cod Liver Oil supplements.
Sometimes the joint may need to be replaced in severe cases of osteoarthritis.

There are differente kind of Arthritis! Here is one of them! Osteoarthritis Arthritis Symptoms
Osteoarthritis / Osteoarthrosis (OA, also known as degenerative arthritis, degenerative joint disease, arthrosis or in more colloquial terms "wear and tear"), is a condition in which low-grade inflammation results in pain in the joints, caused by wearing of the cartilage that covers and acts as a cushion inside joints. As the bone surfaces become less well protected by cartilage, the patient experiences pain upon weight bearing, including walking and standing. Due to decreased movement because of the pain, regional muscles may atrophy, and ligaments may become more lax. OA is the most common form of arthritis. The word is derived from the Greek word "osteo", meaning "of the bone", "arthro", meaning "joint", and "itis", meaning inflammation, although many sufferers have little or no inflammation.
