Myositis

Myositis is an uncommon inflammatory condition that affects the muscles, leading to weakness and pain. It occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own muscle tissue. This condition can be part of various diseases, including autoimmune disorders, and can manifest as difficulty in performing daily activities, such as climbing stairs or lifting objects. Treatment often involves medications to reduce inflammation and improve muscle strength, along with physical therapy. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing symptoms and improving quality of life for those affected.
