Osteoarthritis is usually age related, and found in menopausal women where degeneration of the bone is caused due to calcium depletion. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease, where the presenting symptom is pain and inflammation of the tissue around the joint. In this condition, the body tissue is attacked by antibodies of ones own immune system, since it identifies these tissues as foreign bodes. Hence, it is called auto-immune disease.
