Arthritis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of one or more joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. There are different types of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, each with distinct causes and symptoms. Osteoarthritis is often related to age and wear-and-tear on joints, while rheumatoid arthritis involves the immune system mistakenly attacking joint tissues. Management includes medications, physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and in some cases, surgery. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can help alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life for those affected by arthritis.
