Your joints unionizing and immediately going on strike, forever.
means Inflammation of the joints that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness, often worsening with age or wear.
from From Greek 'arthron' (joint) plus the suffix '-itis' (inflammation) — the same '-itis' you see in tonsillitis or bronchitis, Greek medicine's all-purpose tag for 'this body part is angry.' The word walked into English more or less intact from Greek via Latin, naming the condition exactly as plainly as it feels.
