These diseases can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility, impacting daily activities and quality of life. They may arise from various factors, such as aging, injury, genetics, or lifestyle choices. Treatment often involves medication, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes surgery to relieve symptoms and improve function. Understanding and managing these conditions is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.
