Inflammation of one, many, or all of the joints is referred to as arthritis. Due to the changing lifestyle in the modern period, this condition is also being noticed in young people.

It can begin in any joint of the body and gradually spread to other joints as well.

Treatment
The doctor might advise surgery if
the patient does not benefit from the aforementioned treatment. When arthritis
flares up, the pain can sometimes become intolerable. In these situations,
medical professionals must rely on cutting-edge care. In such circumstances,
knee replacement surgery is the most popular procedure. In this procedure, the
injured joint is removed and swapped out for an artificial joint. This
synthetic joint functions just like a natural joint.
The bodily discomfort lowers
self-esteem and causes anxiety, sadness, and psychological challenges, having
regular online counselling sessions help in overcoming psychological issues. Seek
online consultation with the best therapist in India.
