Understanding Arthritis
Arthritis refers to inflammation of one or more joints, causing pain and stiffness that can worsen with age. The most common types include osteoarthritis, caused by wear and tear, and rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder. Symptoms typically include joint pain, swelling, reduced range of motion, and stiffness, particularly in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
