Arthritis is also referred as Joint pain. Joint pain influences the musculoskeletal framework [1], particularly the joints. It is the fundamental driver of handicap among individuals more than fifty-five years old in diverse parts of the world [2,3]. The word joint pain originates from the Greek arthron signifying "joint" and the Latin itis signifying "aggravation". The plural of joint pain is arthritides.
