Over 10 million people in the UK, that's 1 in 6 adults, young people, and children live with arthritis. The word itself describes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. It isn't just a single condition, but a category covering several different types – from osteoarthritis to inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and it affects people of all ages. Symptoms like joint pain and stiffness can fluctuate from week to week, or even day to day. While there is no single cure and identifying exact causes can be complex, treatments have really improved in recent years, particularly for inflammatory arthritis.
