Arthritis causes joint swelling and pain. Symptoms include joint pain and stiffness which get worse with age. The two major types are Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis wears down cartilage which is the tough tissue that covers bones where they meet. Rheumatoid arthritis happens when the immune system attacks joints starting with the lining.

Gout forms from uric acid crystals due to high levels in the blood. Other types come from infections or diseases like psoriasis or lupus.

Arthritis treatment varies based on the type. Goals are to reduce symptoms and improve life quality. Managing arthritis involves medication, therapy and lifestyle changes for better movement and comfort.
