What Is Osteoarthritis?
Osteoarthritis occurs when joint cartilage wears down, causing bone-on-bone friction, pain, swelling, and restricted movement.
Common Joints Affected by Osteoarthritis:
✅ Knee (most common)
✅ Hip (hip joint osteoarthritis)
✅ Shoulder
✅ Ankle
✅ Small joints in the hands and feet
Causes of Osteoarthritis
Several factors contribute to osteoarthritis, including:
- Aging – Joint fluid decreases over time, leading to cartilage degeneration.
- Excess weight – Adds stress to weight-bearing joints like the knee and hip.
- Previous injuries and fractures – Increase the risk of developing OA.
- Genetics – Some people have a genetic predisposition to osteoarthritis.
- Repetitive movements and strenuous activities – Common in athletes or physically demanding jobs.
- Lack of physical activity – Leads to muscle weakness, increasing joint pressure.
Symptoms of Osteoarthritis
If you experience these symptoms, you may have osteoarthritis:
✅ Joint pain that worsens with movement
✅ Morning stiffness in the joints
✅ Swelling and inflammation
✅ Difficulty walking or moving the joint
✅ Clicking or grinding sounds in the joint
