Arthritis or more conveniently called Joint pain due to both degenerative/inflammatory reasons.

Arthritis is a term used to describe inflammation of one or more joints in the body. There are several types of arthritis, but the most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Arthritis can cause pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty moving the affected joints. 

Here are some of the common reasons, symptoms, and management of arthritis:

Main Reasons for Arthritis:

• Age: As you get older, the risk of developing arthritis increases.

• Genetics: Some types of arthritis can be inherited.

• Joint injuries: A previous joint injury can increase the risk of developing arthritis in that joint.

• Obesity: Being overweight or obese can put extra stress on the joints, leading to arthritis.

Symptoms:

• Pain in the affected joint(s)

• Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting for a long time

• Swelling or tenderness in the joint(s)

• Limited range of motion in the joint(s)

• A crunching feeling or sound when moving the joint(s)

• Fatigue

• Weight loss

• Anemia

Management:

• Exercise: Low-impact exercises, such as walking or swimming, can help keep the joints flexible and strengthen the muscles around them.

• Weight management: Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce the stress on the joints, especially weight-bearing joints like the knees and hips. It is reported that a mere 10% reduction in body weight can greatly reduce arthritic knee pain by over 50%. 

• Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can help reduce pain and inflammation. Prescription medications, such as disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), can slow the progression of rheumatoid arthritis.

• Physical therapy: A physical therapist can develop an exercise plan to improve joint flexibility and strengthen the muscles around the affected joint(s).

• Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace a damaged joint.

It's important to talk to your doctor if you experience symptoms of arthritis. They can help diagnose the type of arthritis and develop a treatment plan that works for you.
