It usually willattack weight bearing joints like knees, hips, and ankles but hasbeen found in the fingers, neck and spine.

Extremelypainful and inflammatory, it strikes the lining of the joints andactually attacks two million Americans in their twenties. Psoriatic Arthritis is not as well known as the previous two, butactually eats away at the joints and can also manifest aspsoriasis on the skin. The term Arthritis literally translates to "joint inflammation." If you suffer from any of the different types of Arthritis listedabove, chances are you have taken drugs to combat the effects ortried other "home remedies."
