Arthritis

The inflammation and pain of the joints that an individual suffers from is called arthritis. Arthritis is a commonly misunderstood term as many people think of it as a single type of disease. In reality, arthritis is an umbrella term that is used to refer to over 100 types of joint pains.

All these joint pains have their own set of symptoms and treatments. Arthritis is found in individuals who are over the age of 65 or are overweight. However, arthritis can also be found in children, teenagers, and adults.

Arthritis is mainly a rheumatic condition that affects the joints, the tissues surrounding the joints, and all other connecting tissues.
