Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look today,
At a word that can cause some worry, in a special kind of way.
It's
arthritis
, you see, and it’s important to know,
What this word really means, so let our knowledge grow!
The dictionary tells us, with careful detail,
That arthritis is trouble, a painful trail.
(Rhyme Time!)
“Inflammation of a joint or joints,” it states,
“Causing pain and disability – sealed by fate!”
It brings about swelling, a puffy surprise,
And stiffness that limits your movements and size.
Now, 💎why💎 does this happen? Let’s consider with care,
It can come from infections, or injuries we bear.
(Let's break it down further!)
Degenerative changes occur,
Like wear and tear on joints – a bit of a blur!
And metabolic disorders too, you see,
Can cause this condition for you and me.
So, arthritis is complex, a tricky disease,
Affecting our joints with discomfort and ease... or rather, 💎dis💎ease!
