What Is Arthritis?
Arthritis refers to the inflammation and tenderness of one or more joints, often leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It commonly worsens with age and can affect daily activities and overall quality of life.
Types of Arthritis
The two most common forms include:
-
Osteoarthritis: Caused by wear and tear of cartilage, the protective tissue at the ends of bones.
-
Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the joint lining, leading to inflammation and damage.
