Common people often mistake arthritis for a disease. Arthritis is not a single disease. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic illness that affects the joints. As a result, the joint becomes warm, swollen and painful. This pain is felt more after prolonged rest. The areas where two or more bones intersect, such as the wrists, hand joints, and knees, are typically the most affected by arthritis, making daily activities challenging.

Arthritis can be triggered by immune system problems or sudden weight gain, which puts pressure on the bones. Additionally, arthritis can result from aging. There is no cure for this disease, but the pain can be significantly reduced by following a doctor's advice or taking medication.

In a recent interview with Anandabazar.com, Dr. Snehadrit Mukhopadhyay, an orthopaedist at HP Ghosh Hospital, stated, “The elderly are particularly affected by osteoarthritis, which makes walking very difficult. As the disease progresses, walking becomes increasingly challenging and eventually, a wheelchair is required. In the early stages, the condition is treated with certain medications and in later stages, knee replacement surgery is necessary when the condition worsens.”
