Arthritis-related problems include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and damage to joint cartilage (the tissue that covers the ends of bones, enabling them to move against each other) and surrounding structures. This can result in joint weakness, instability, and deformities that can interfere with the most basic daily tasks such as walking, driving a car, and preparing food.
