    Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that affects millions of people worldwide. The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis include:

    – Pain: Affected joints might hurt during or after movement.
    – Stiffness: Joint stiffness might be most noticeable upon awakening or after being inactive.
    – Tenderness: Your joint might feel tender when you apply light pressure to or near it.
    – Loss of flexibility: You might not be able to move your joint through its full range of motion.
    – Grating sensation: You might feel a grating sensation when you use the joint, and you might hear popping or crackling.
    – Bone spurs: These extra bits of bone, which feel like hard lumps, can form around the affected joint.
    – Swelling: This might be caused by soft tissue inflammation around the joint.

    The symptoms of osteoarthritis often develop slowly and worsen over time. Although the damage to joints can’t be reversed, osteoarthritis symptoms can usually be managed with certain treatments and lifestyle changes. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, and receiving certain treatments might slow progression of the disease and help improve pain and joint function.

    Osteoarthritis is diagnosed based on the symptoms presented and sometimes tests to identify the causative factors. During the physical exam, your doctor will check your affected joint for tenderness, swelling, redness, and flexibility. Imaging tests such as X-rays and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can be used to get pictures of the affected joint. Analyzing your blood or joint fluid can also help confirm the diagnosis. Blood tests can help rule out other causes of joint pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis, while joint fluid analysis can determine whether your pain is caused by gout or infection rather than osteoarthritis.

    Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones in your joints gradually deteriorates. Cartilage is a firm, slippery tissue that enables nearly frictionless joint motion. Eventually, if the cartilage wears down completely, the bone will rub on the bone.

    Osteoarthritis has often been referred to as a “wear and tear” disease. But besides the breakdown of cartilage, osteoarthritis affects the entire joint. It causes changes in the bone and deterioration of the connective tissues that hold the joint together and attach muscle to bone. It also causes inflammation of the joint lining.

    Certain factors can increase your risk of developing osteoarthritis, including:

    1. Age: The risk of developing osteoarthritis increases with age.
    2. Obesity: Carrying extra body weight contributes to osteoarthritis in several ways, and the more you weigh, the greater your risk. Increased weight puts added stress on weight-bearing joints, such as your hips and knees. In addition, fat tissue produces proteins that may cause harmful inflammation in and around your joints.
    3. Joint injuries: Injuries, such as those that occur when playing sports or from an accident, can increase the risk of osteoarthritis. Even injuries that occurred many years ago and seemingly healed can increase your risk of osteoarthritis.
    4. Genetics: Some people inherit a tendency to develop osteoarthritis.
    5. Bone deformities: Some people are born with malformed joints or defective cartilage, which can increase the risk of osteoarthritis.

    Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones wears down over time. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the disorder most commonly affects joints in your hands, knees, hips, and spine.

    Osteoarthritis is a long-term condition where the joints in your body become inflamed and damaged. Over time, the cartilage layer that protects the ends of your bones wears away and new spikes of bone develop. Without cartilage, the bones in the joint rub together, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced movement.

    Osteoarthritis symptoms can usually be managed, although the damage to joints can’t be reversed. Staying active, maintaining a healthy weight, and receiving certain treatments might slow the progression of the disease and help improve pain and joint function.
