Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Pain: A symptom triggered by the nervous system that causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalised (affecting the whole body) or localised (affecting a specific body area). Common causes of pain include headaches, muscle strain, cramps, cuts, bone fractures, and arthritis.
Arthritis: It is a joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.
