most forms of arthritis are chronic in nature as there is no cure for them. they can be caused by the trauma of injury or wear and tear in the case of osteoarthritis and then there are the inflammatory types like Rheumatoid arthritis which are caused by inflammation brought on by the immune system. There is also gouty arthritis where crystals are formed in the blood by too much uric acid which invades joints and some other areas. Noe of these diseases can be cured and some of them come and go as they please.
