Arthritis affects people of all ages, from the elderly to the young. It leads to excessive discomfort and inflammation in the joints, making movement tough and restrictive for those suffering from it. Arthritis has impacted over 180 million people in India, which is higher than diseases like diabetes, AIDS, and cancer. Reports have suggested that arthritis is more common among women than men and overweight people. But some might be affected by it but are not aware of it.
