<p>Live long enough and you can pretty much count on developing arthritis.</p>
<p>Arthritis consists of more than 100 different conditions. These conditions can be anything from relatively mild forms of tendonitis (as in 'tennis elbow') and bursitis; to crippling systemic forms, such as rheumatoid arthritis. There are pain syndromes like fibromyalgia and arthritis-related disorders; such as systemic lupus erythematosus, that involve every part of the body. There are forms of the disease; such as gout, which almost nobody connects with arthritis, and there are other conditions - like osteoarthritis.</p>
