Rheumatoid Arthritis: This is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and swelling.
Gout: This type occurs when there is an excess of uric acid in the blood, leading to the formation of sharp crystals in the joints, which cause sudden, severe pain.
