Description:

The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis, a long-term condition in which the joints become inflamed and damaged. Also known as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease. Osteoarthritis develops  when the cartilage layer that protects the ends of your bones wears away with age, resulting in the formation of new bone spike-like structures. Without cartilage, the bones in the joint rub against each other, causing pain swelling stiffness and decreased mobility. This can make walking climbing stairs and other daily activities more difficult.It can deteriorate over time. Asymmetric osteoarthritis is more likely among patients . A patient may have nearly normal function in the other leg despite having severe debilitating osteoarthritis in one knee.

Cause:

There are many factors that play a role in the development of osteoarthritis, like the genetic factors that run in families' stressors, like long-term impact in the joint, like in joggers. The most common risk factors that have been associated with osteoarthritis include: • Overuse of a joint after it has not had enough time to heal after an injury or operation other conditions. • Secondary arthritis - osteoarthritis can occur in joints severely damaged by a previous or existing condition such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout. • Being a woman - Women are more likely than men to suffer from osteoarthritis. • Age - Your risk of developing the condition increases as you get older. • Family history - osteoarthritis may run in families. • Obesity- puts extra strain on your joints, especially those that bear the majority of your weight, such as your knees and hips.

Symptom:

Symptoms of osteoarthritis typically appear in stages and get worse over time. Some of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis are as follows: • Pain: The impacted joints may experience pain before during or after movement.  • Joint Stiffness: Upon waking up or following a period of inactivity, joint stiffness may be more noticeable.          • Tenderness: Your joint may become tender when you put light pressure on it or in close proximity to it.                  • Reduced Flexibility: You might not be able to fully move your joint through its range of motion.                              • Bone spurs: These extra pieces of bone may form around the injured joint and have a firm lumpy texture.                      • Swelling: This could be caused by inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the joint.
