What is Arthritis?
Arthritis, often referred to as joint pain or joint disease, is the leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting over 50 million adults and around 300,000 children. This condition can significantly impact your quality of life, causing symptoms like swelling, pain, stiffness, and a decreased range of motion. In more severe cases, arthritis can lead to chronic pain, making everyday activities difficult, and even result in permanent joint damage.
If you suspect that you might be experiencing arthritis or wish to assess its severity, your healthcare provider will typically conduct blood tests and imaging scans, such as X-rays, CAT scans, or MRIs. Embracing a healthy lifestyle, staying active, and gaining a thorough understanding of your specific type of arthritis and available treatment options are vital steps toward reducing discomfort and enhancing your overall well-being.
