Arthritis
Arthritis refers to joint inflammation that can develop in one or several joints in a person’s body. It can also refer to multiple medical conditions affecting the joints, surrounding tissues, and connective tissues. This disorder is mostly characterized by joint stiffness and pain that tends to get worse with age.
There are several forms of arthritis that doctors diagnose from time to time. However, each type causes varying symptoms and often requires different treatment approaches. Although arthritis is more common among older adults, it can as well occur in children, men, and women of any age bracket.
