Arth

Arth, or arthritis, refers to a group of conditions characterized by inflammation of the joints. This inflammation can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced movement. There are many types of arthritis, with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis being the most common. Osteoarthritis results from wear and tear on the joint cartilage, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system attacks joint tissues. Arthritis can affect people of all ages, but it is more common in older adults. Managing symptoms often involves medication, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes surgical interventions to improve joint function and quality of life.
