Arthritis

Arthritis is a group of conditions that cause joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and changes in joint function. It can affect people of all ages, although it is more common in older adults. There are many types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout, each requiring a different approach to management. While arthritis is often a long-term condition, early diagnosis, appropriate medical care, and regular follow-up can help relieve symptoms, improve joint function, and maintain quality of life.
