Arthritis
By Jennifer Kenny 		  
1     Drew's grandmother was very achy today. "What's the matter?" Drew asked his grandmother.
 
2     "My arthritis is acting up," his grandmother complained. "The weather isn't helping any either. I think I'll lie down for a bit, dear."
 
3     "OK, Grandma," Drew said. He decided to look in his encyclopedia to learn more about his grandmother's condition.
 
4     Drew learned that arthritis is an inflammation of the joints. It is actually a general term for 100 different diseases. It limits everyday activities.
 
5     Under normal circumstances, your joints move smoothly. The cartilage covering the ends of bones allows your bones to glide. However, if the cartilage is damaged, moving will be difficult and painful.
