Arthritis is not just one single disease. Arthritis is often used a generic or common phrase to describe many joint pains or diseases of the joints. It affects people of all ages and is the leading cause of disability in the U.S. At Laredo Arthritis and Rheumatology, we treat patients who may be suffering from joint pain and discomfort. Arthritis can cause swelling, pain, stiffness, and decreased the range of motion. It can be mild to severe and, if left untreated, may lead to permanent joint changes and severe chronic pain.
