🦴 What Are Bone & Joint Infections?
Our bones and joints help us walk, move, and do daily activities. But sometimes, infections can enter the bones (called osteomyelitis) or joints (called septic arthritis) and cause pain, swelling, and difficulty in movement.
Bone & joint infections can happen after an injury, surgery, or even when an infection spreads from other parts of the body. These are serious problems, but with proper care and early treatment, they can be completely cured.
