Arthritis

What Is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a condition that causes inflammation in one or more joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling. It can affect any joint in the body, but is most common in the knees, hips, hands, and spine. There are several types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most common.

What Causes Arthritis

Arthritis can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Age: As we age, the cartilage in the joints can wear down, leading to osteoarthritis.
  • Genetics: Family history can play a role in the development of certain types of arthritis.
  • Injury or Overuse: Previous injuries or repetitive motions can increase the risk of arthritis in the affected joint.
  • Immune System Dysfunction: In conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy joint tissue, causing inflammation and pain.
  • Obesity: Excess weight puts additional strain on joints, particularly weight-bearing ones like the knees, increasing the risk of arthritis.

Signs of Arthritis

Common signs and symptoms of arthritis include:

  • Joint pain, tenderness, or aching
  • Swelling or inflammation in the joints
  • Stiffness, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity
  • Limited range of motion or difficulty moving the joint
  • Redness or warmth around the affected joint
