Arthritis is a broad term encompassing various inflammatory joint conditions causing pain, swelling, and reduced joint mobility. The most prevalent types include osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OA involves the degeneration of joint cartilage, commonly associated with aging or joint trauma, leading to pain and stiffness. RA, an autoimmune disorder, results in the immune system attacking joint tissues, causing inflammation and potentially leading to joint deformity. Symptoms of arthritis include joint pain, swelling, warmth, and limited range of motion. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies like X-rays, and blood tests. Treatment strategies aim to alleviate symptoms and may include medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. In severe cases, surgical interventions such as joint replacement may be considered. Arthritis significantly impacts daily life, affecting millions worldwide. Managing arthritis involves a multidisciplinary approach, often with rheumatologists and orthopedic specialists, to improve quality of life and preserve joint function. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention are crucial for effective arthritis management.
