For example, inflammatory forms of arthritis can affect many parts of the body beyond the joints, including the heart, lungs, skin, eyes and brain. In this episode, our experts explain what a comorbidity is, what conditions are likely to occur with arthritis, tips on what to watch for, when to tell your health care provider and how comorbidities are treated.
