At this stage it is known what artritis does, how t deos it but not why it does it.
All synovial joints do not have a meniscus. While many synovial joints, such as the knee, contain menisci (cartilaginous structures that provide cushioning and stability), not all synovial joints have them. Other common features of synovial joints include articular cartilage, a synovial membrane, and a joint capsule.
Synovial Membranes
Synovial fluid is found in joints in the body, specifically within the synovial cavities of synovial joints. It serves to lubricate the joints, reduce friction, and provide nutrients to the surrounding cartilage.
Most joints of the body are synovial joints, which are characterized by the presence of a synovial fluid-filled joint cavity. These joints allow for a wide range of movement due to the presence of articulating surfaces covered in hyaline cartilage and reinforced by ligaments. Examples include the knee, shoulder, and hip joints.
Synovial joints are all freely movable or diarthrotic. These joints have a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid that allows for smooth movement between the bones. Examples include the knee, elbow, and shoulder joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis is the autoimmune disorder that attacks the synovial membranes of joints and other tissues.

Arthritis
Juvenile RA can have an effect on any of the joints in the body.
False. It does not.
The condition you're describing is likely rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the joints and connective tissues. In RA, the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovial membrane, leading to inflammation, thickening, and potential ankylosis (fusion) of the joints. This can result in pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility, significantly impacting quality of life. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial to managing symptoms and preventing joint damage.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the joints between the vertebrae.
All synovial joints do not have a meniscus. While many synovial joints, such as the knee, contain menisci (cartilaginous structures that provide cushioning and stability), not all synovial joints have them. Other common features of synovial joints include articular cartilage, a synovial membrane, and a joint capsule.
Arthritis usually affects the human joints, when the joints of the legs are affected, one may end up in a wheelchair.
