Arthritis is a common condition that affects many people. It causes joint pain, which can be constant and make it hard to do daily activities. Arthritis can also make it difficult to move a joint or multiple joints. Inflammation is another symptom, which can cause swelling, redness and warmth in the affected area.
It is important to note that arthritis can affect any joint in the body, including the hands, knees, hips and spine.
