5.Arthritis
This inflames your joints, and it’s especially common in places where you’ve had breaks, sprains, or fractures, even if they were treated. You’re more likely to get it as you age, and over time, it can lead to pain, swelling, and loss of movement.
6.Arthritis: Treatment
Your doctor will talk with you about how active you’d like to be, and how the pain and lack of flexibility affect your daily life. They might recommend anti-inflammatories or give you a steroid shot that can ease pain and swelling for weeks or possibly months. In some cases, splints that protect your joints and keep you from overusing them can help. But wearing them too long can lead to muscle loss.
