Which one is degenerative illnesses rheumatoid arthritis and muscular dystrophy or chondrodynia and stemotomy?

Among the listed conditions, rheumatoid arthritis and muscular dystrophy are regarded as degenerative or progressive diseases since they may deteriorate over time and interfere with the functioning of the body. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation and pain in joints, which also leads to their damage over time. Muscular dystrophy comprises several genetic conditions leading to progressive weakening and degeneration of muscles. "Chondrodynia" and "stemotomy" are two completely different things: Chondrodynia is a term for a painful feeling associated with the cartilage tissue, which represents a symptom and not a degenerative disease. Stemotomy, possibly meaning sternotomy (an operation involving incising the sternum), is a procedure and not a disease. So, the degenerative diseases from the list include rheumatoid arthritis and muscular dystrophy.
