A snaffle with two joints reduces the "nutcracker" effect to a degree because it comforms more to the shape of horses' mouths compared to the V of a single jointed snaffle that pinches on the bars and may even send the point into the roof of the mouth. So, the snaffle with two joints is less severe than a single jointed snaffle.
A snaffle bit is a simple jointed bit that does not provide leverage. Many snaffles are jointed bits, but not all jointed bits are snaffles. A mullen mouth is a curved, non-jointed snaffle bit. What distinguishes a snaffle is that the reins are attached directly to the bit without any sort of leverage, either through shanks or lower rings or slots.
The tom thumb will be the least severe.
A smooth snaffle, but it should be noted that even in the smooth snaffle, a bad rider can make it a very painful, severe bit simply because of how sensitive a horse's mouth is.
No.
I think that non-jointed bits are good for trails, it depends on what you are talking about. If you use your hands a lot, (holding on with your hands) you are going to want to start with a non-jointed one until you learn to feel the horses mouth. If you know how to half-halt and use leg-pressure than a jointed bit is right up your alley. I would say that a jointed bit gives more contact, but a non-jointed bit is gentler. If you have a professional in your area ask them to evaluate the horse and you riding and see which bit would be better. (I hope that helps a little bit)

In Gujarati, gout is called "ગાઉટ" (pronounced as "gaut"). It is a type of arthritis characterized by sudden and severe pain, redness, and swelling in the joints, often affecting the big toe. The condition is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints.
Crohn's can affect the joints. See the related link below for more information. The inflammation that appears with both Crohn's and UC often shows up in other area's of the body like joints. The symptoms are pain, swelling and joint stiffness that flare up and then go away, then flare up again. The more severe the IBD the more severe the arthritis. When the joints are involved in combination with IBD the diagnosis is call IBD Arthritis. Treatment often amounts to moist heat and cold packs, bed rest when severe,non steroidal anti- inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen.
