Can you tell me more about the different types of arthritis?

Arthritis is a group of conditions that cause joint pain and stiffness. There are many different types, each with its own symptoms, causes, and treatments. The most common type is osteoarthritis (OA), which is caused by wear and tear on joints over time. Other forms of arthritis include rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, gout, lupus, fibromyalgia, and systemic sclerosis. Each form of arthritis has its own symptoms, causes, and treatments. It's important to talk to your doctor if you're experiencing any joint pain or stiffness to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
