Inflammation is the reaction you get when the immune system gets to work eliminating unwanted organisms or materials in a certain area. Usually if there is a problem with some type of organism or with unhealthy cells or material in a given place in the the imune system will have ways if dealing with it and destroying the offending materials while the body repairs the damaged area. inflamation in the case of Rheumatoid arthritis is however another story. In this situation the immune system mistakenly sets about destroying cartilage in joints of the body leading in turn to furher harmful chemicals being created that damage and destroy ligaments, muscle and bone.
