One or more joints that are swollen and tender is called arthritis. Joint stiffness and pain are the primary symptoms of arthritis, and they usually get worse with age. Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are the two most prevalent forms of arthritis.
The hard, slick tissue called cartilage, which covers the ends of bones where they meet to form joints, deteriorates as a result of osteoarthritis. The disease known as rheumatoid arthritis occurs when the body’s immune system targets the joints, starting with the joint lining.
Gout can result from uric acid crystals, which occur when there is an excess of uric acid in the blood. Other types of arthritis can be brought on by infections or underlying medical conditions like lupus or psoriasis.
