Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints. It can affect one joint or multiple joints. The symptoms of arthritis usually develop over time, but they may also appear suddenly. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. Arthritis is more common in women than men and in people who are overweight.
Cartilage is a firm but flexible connective tissue in your joints. It protects the joints by absorbing the pressure and shock created when you move or put stress on them. The reduction in the normal amount of this cartilage tissue causes some forms of arthritis.
