There are two types of arthritis — inflammatory and non-inflammatory. Non-inflammatory arthritis refers to degenerative arthritis where the weight-bearing joints start showing signs of wear due to age, weight and lifestyle habits. Early-stage degenerative arthritis applies when an individual starts experiencing pain during extreme postures. They find it difficult to climb stairs and sit cross-legged. Here, the pain is initially limited to anterior and medial joint surfaces.

Early-stage inflammatory arthritis is when a person experiences early morning stiffness of smaller joints of the hand and foot.
