It's easy to do your own research online. In any search engine, type the words "arthritis and oxidative stress". A list will appear showing dozens of articles on the topic.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory, autoimmune disease where oxidative stress has been proposed to contribute to the joint tissue damage.
Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress may play a key role in joint destruction due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Osteoarthritis is a form of arthritis caused by the inflammation, breakdown, and eventual loss of cartilage in the joints. The cartilage wears down over time.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial autoimmune disease affecting around 1% of the world's population leading to autoimmune arthritis. Though the exact aetiology of RA remains unknown, various environmental and biological triggers have been suspected. The most important factor which is implicated in the pathogenesis of RA is oxidative stress (inflammation).
Oxidative stress in rheumatoid arthritis patients:
Relationship to Diseases Activity
The aim of this study was to assess the oxidative stress status in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by measuring markers of free radical production, systemic activity of disease and levels of antioxidant.

Summary
There are literally hundreds of articles and studies that one can research on the Internet concerning arthritis and oxidative stress or inflammation.
The undeniable connection between anti-inflammatory remedies and oxidative stress points to the need for a powerful antioxidant supplement. Some prescribed medications such as aspirin are known to irritate the stomach.
