Arthritis is a common term for joint pain or joint disease, encompassing over 100 conditions causing inflammation, stiffness, swelling, and reduced motion, with common types including osteoarthritis (wear-and-tear) and rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune). While symptoms vary, they often affect hands, knees, hips, and spine, impacting mobility and quality of life, but treatments like medication, physical therapy, lifestyle changes (exercise, weight loss), and sometimes surgery can manage symptoms and slow progression, according to Pace.
