Arthritis: Inflammation of the joints, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Bursitis: Inflammation of the bursa, the fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints.
Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons connecting muscles to bones.
Sprains and Strains: Injuries to ligaments or muscles around joints.
Cartilage Damage: Wear and tear or injury to the cartilage that cushions joints.
