An inflammation of the joints is arthritis.
It may impact a single joint or a number of joints.
There are more than 100 different forms of arthritis, each with a unique aetiology and course of treatment.
The most prevalent kind of arthritis in the United States is osteoarthritis (OA).
Although they frequently occur gradually, arthritic symptoms can also strike quickly.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) typically strikes people between the ages of 30 and 50.
However, it can have an impact on kids, teenagers, and young adults.
Osteoarthritis (OA) often manifests itself at the age of 50 or 60, but some studies have found radiographic evidence of OA in women as young as 40.
Additionally, it frequently affects those who are overweight.
The most typical signs and symptoms of arthritis are joint pain, stiffness, and swelling.
