Arthritis

Arthritis is a condition that leads to pain, swelling, and stiffness in one or more joints, making movement difficult. There are various types of arthritis, so it's important not to self-diagnose; consult your GP if you have concerns. It often impacts weight-bearing joints like the knees and feet. The most prevalent type of arthritis typically begins in the late 40s and frequently affects the joint of the big toe, which can become painful, swollen, and warm. The risk of developing gout rises with age.
