What is the difference between arthritis and fasciitis?

Arthritis and fasciitis are two different tissue inflammations. Arthritis is an inflammation of the joints due to acute injury, chronic strain, immune factors, and degenerative factors, which can affect the bones of the joints, the cartilage of the joints, as well as the synovial membrane and joint capsule, and can cause the proliferation and degeneration of the joint cartilage, the destruction of the joint cartilage, the proliferation, hypertrophy, and exudation of the synovial membrane, and the contracture and hypertrophy of the joint capsule, which will eventually lead to corresponding symptoms of pain, swelling, deformity, and functional impairment. Fasciitis is the inflammation of the connective tissue between the tissues of the fascia due to acute injury, chronic strain, or stimulation by adverse factors. Inflammation of the fascia is relatively superficial compared to inflammation of the joints and does not have a significant impact, mainly on the tissues surrounding the fascia, mainly involving the soft tissues, and not so much on the bone.
